North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un pilots a plane and handles a firearm in latest propaganda video

Before he takes to the skies, Jong-un is filmed, complete with his signature black winter coat and coiffed haircut, inspecting one of the troop’s pistols before briefing the soldiers.

The clip also shows the obese 32-year-old watching tanks firing shells and missile strikes.

Released by Korean Central Television and posted on the YouTube channel, the low-budget video finishes with Jong-un in the cock-pit of an aircraft.
