🇰🇵 Looks like the DPRK has acquired modules for correcting the trajectory of projectiles.
Something similar to the American PGK was seen in a North Korean media report about Kim Jong-un's visit to the National Defense Academy on the occasion of its 60th anniversary.
Next to the training model of the new 155-mm self-propelled gun on a reduced scale, you can see two models of artillery shells.
One of them is similar to modern 155 mm shells. The second model of the projectile, which is touched by Kim Jong-un in the frame, has in the upper part something similar to a trajectory correction module that has not yet been screwed in.
Considering that this exhibition is related to KPA artillery systems, this may mean that the DPRK is now working not only on a new generation of guided missiles, but also on guided projectiles for cannon artillery.

USA: The PGK (Precision Guidance Kit) high-precision guidance kit is screwed onto a 155-mm projectile instead of a conventional fuse, which significantly increases the accuracy by correcting the trajectory in flight.
For example, the M549A1 projectile, when fired at a range of 15 km, has a dispersion of about 95 meters, and at 30 km the dispersion already reaches 260 meters. At its low cost, PGK allows you to reduce dispersion at any distance up to 50 meters.
In the fall of 2022, Northrop Grumman reported the delivery of 100,000 PGK kits to the US Army.
The Northrop Grumman also ordered 80,000 GPS M-Code antennas for the production of PGK high-precision guidance kits for 155 mm projectiles.
