North Korean troops use TOY PLANES to prepare for battle in bizarre propaganda clip
The country's soldiers are armed with cardboard cutouts of military machinery in the weird footage
This baffling footage shows North Korean troops preparing for battle using TOY PLANES.
The weird clip features groups of soldiers armed with cardboard cutouts of military machinery on sticks.
Some of the recruits hold miniature plastic planes which they ‘fly’ up and down by hand while walking over a giant map.
It is thought that the exercise is a cheap way of testing out manoeuvres without having to send expensive equipment into the skies.
In the background, the country’s leader Kim Jong-un can be seen smoking and laughing at the tactical display.
Naturally, his entourage are right there beside him chuckling along in unison.
Internet users were left baffled by the hilariously bad propaganda.
One wrote: “I’ll bet someone is making sound effects like "woosh" and "mmmwreeewwrrrr”!”
Another added: “It's all fun and games until these guys fly south of the demilitarized zone and get blown out of the sky by South Korean F-16s.”
On Sunday it was revealed that Kim has banned all weddings and funerals in North Korea.
He is preparing to be crowned as the country's supreme leader at a rare ruling party congress.
The 33-year-old is expected to cement his leadership and formally declare the nation a nuclear-armed state at the first congress in a staggering 36 years.
Ahead of the meeting next week, North Korea has tightened security, with its capital, Pyongyang, placed on lockdown to avoid any 'mishap' at the event.
