North Korea demonstrates the potency of its firepower in this military exercise.
State-run television released this collection of file footage on Wednesday, showing new leader Kim Jong-un and his late father and previous leader Kim Jong-il watching different military exercises.
The young Kim, believed to be 27 or 28 years old, was named the "Great Successor" after the death last December of his father, the "Dear Leader".
Kim Jong-un was appointed head of North Korea's 1.2 million-strong military on December 30th 2011, two days after the official mourning for his father ended.
Experts believe the untested new leader will initially rule with the aid of a close coterie that includes his uncle, a key power-broker.
