This is what a successful side launch of a ship looks like.

And this is Kim Jong-un's brand-new 5,000-ton destroyer.

這是金正恩嶄新的5000噸級驅逐艦。

It capsized after North Korea tried the same launch method.

北朝鮮嘗試了同樣的發射方法後，它傾覆了。

But what seems like a major setback for North Korea's efforts to modernise its Soviet-era navy offers a rare glimpse into the shadowy relationships between Pyongyang and Moscow.

但是，北韓對其蘇聯時代海軍進行現代化改造的努力似乎遭遇了重大挫折，這讓我們難得一見地看到了平壤與莫斯科之間的朦朧關係。

The botched launch at Chongjin was very embarrassing, but these ships reveal deep technological ties between Russia and North Korea.

在清津的發射失敗非常令人尷尬，但這些戰艦揭示了俄羅斯和北韓之間深厚的技術聯繫。

Here's how Moscow appears to be helping Pyongyang build warships faster than China.

莫斯科似乎正在幫助平壤以比中國更快的速度建造軍艦。

Recently, North Korea revealed what appeared to be its most sophisticated vessels to date.

最近，北韓展示了其迄今為止最先進的艦艇。

The capsized Chae Hyun-class warship that was put upright by June and the first Chae Hyun destroyer successfully launched in April.

傾覆的 "彩炫 "級軍艦在 6 月前被扶正，首艘 "彩炫 "級驅逐艦在 4 月成功下水。

It would be impossible for North Korea to build a ship this quickly without outside assistance.

如果沒有外部援助，北韓不可能如此迅速地建造出一艘飛船。

On the surface of it, these ships are very impressive.

從表面上看，這些戰艦非常引人注目。

They are modern, they have a wide range of capabilities, but there are a few hints that they may not be everything that they appear to be.

它們是現代化的，具有廣泛的功能，但也有一些跡象表明，它們可能並不完全是表面上看起來那樣。

Certain elements in the design of North Korea's new warships indicate a high level of Russian involvement, especially when compared to Russia's own Grigorovich-class frigates.

北韓新戰艦設計中的某些元素表明俄羅斯的參與程度很高，尤其是與俄羅斯自己的格里戈羅維奇級護衛艦相比。

The stern here, they have the same basic squared-off shape in both classes.

這裡的船尾，兩個級別的基本形狀都是一樣的方形。

The profile of the foredeck and the bow is the same or very similar on both.

兩者的前甲板和船頭輪廓相同或非常相似。

Images of the Chae Hyun destroyer launched in April also bear a strong resemblance to the Russian warship.

4 月下水的 Chae Hyun 驅逐艦的圖片也與俄羅斯軍艦十分相似。

The real giveaway is this chine that runs the length of the hull from bow to stern.

從船頭到船尾，貫穿整個船體的下弦線才是真正的亮點。

This is a line marking where the slope of the hull changes direction.

這是一條標記船體坡度改變方向的線。

Even design variations indicate how closely Russia appears to be involved in the development of the new vessels.

即使是設計上的差異，也表明俄羅斯似乎與新型艦艇的研發工作關係密切。

One difference that we do see between the two ships is that the bow on the North Korean ship is considerably sharper in its rake, its steeper angle than the Russian.

我們確實看到了兩艘軍艦之間的一個區別，那就是北韓軍艦的艦首比俄羅斯軍艦的艦首更鋒利，角度更陡峭。

That is because the Russian frigate is approximately 410 feet long, which is about 65 feet shorter than North Korea's warship.

這是因為俄羅斯護衛艦長約 410 英尺，比北韓軍艦短約 65 英尺。

They need the extra length because they have packed significantly more weaponry, more missile systems into this hull than is present in the original Grigorovich.

他們需要額外的長度，因為他們在船體中安裝了比原來的格里戈羅維奇更多的武器裝備和導彈系統。

You would need Russian assistance in doing this because it's a Russian design, so they are familiar with the strengths and the weaknesses of the hull, where it would be safest and strongest to insert that additional length and how it could be done as quickly and safely as possible.

你需要俄羅斯的協助，因為這是俄羅斯的設計，所以他們熟悉船體的優缺點，在哪裡插入額外的長度最安全、最牢固，以及如何儘可能快速、安全地完成。

The tech ties between Russia and North Korea go beyond designs alone, as Moscow seems to have supplied Pyongyang with the Pantsir-M, a Russian-only short-range anti-missile air defence system.

俄羅斯與北韓之間的技術聯繫不僅限於設計，莫斯科似乎還向平壤提供了 Pantsir-M（一種俄羅斯獨有的短程反導彈防空系統）。

This is the first time this system has been seen on a warship other than in the Russian Navy.

這是第一次在俄羅斯海軍以外的軍艦上看到這種系統。

So this is clearly a direct export from Russia to North Korea to arm this particular warship.

是以，這顯然是從俄羅斯直接出口到北韓，為這艘軍艦提供武器裝備。

Kim Jong-un has long dreamed of modernising his outdated navy.

長期以來，金正恩一直夢想將其過時的海軍現代化。

And in 2023, he visited the headquarters of the Russian Pacific Fleet.

2023 年，他訪問了俄羅斯太平洋艦隊總部。

At the time it was billed as sort of a friendship meeting with Kim Jong-un being shown around the Russian naval facilities and shown how powerful the Russian Pacific Fleet was.

當時，金正恩參觀了俄羅斯的海軍設施，並向他展示了俄羅斯太平洋艦隊的強大實力，這被稱為是一次友好會晤。

I suspect it was actually a sales pitch as much as anything.

He was being shown naval technology that the Russians could offer or were in the process of handing over to the North Koreans.

有人向他展示了俄羅斯可以提供或正在移交給北韓的海軍技術。

In April 2025, a year and a half later, Kim revealed North Korea's first destroyer.

一年半後的 2025 年 4 月，金正日透露了北韓的第一艘驅逐艦。

Pyongyang said it took roughly 400 days to build.

平壤方面稱，它的建造耗時約 400 天。

For warships of this size, the North Koreans have built it even faster than the Chinese would.

對於這種規模的軍艦，朝鮮人的建造速度甚至比中國人還要快。

China typically takes 18 months to build and launch a similar class of warship.

中國通常需要 18 個月才能建造並下水一艘類似級別的戰艦。

A US Arleigh Burke-class destroyer will need about two years, while Russia can take up to 11 years to build a frigate.

美國建造一艘阿利-伯克級驅逐艦大約需要兩年時間，而俄羅斯建造一艘護衛艦可能需要長達 11 年的時間。

So for North Korea to build two of these within around a year is extremely fast, causing some experts to wonder whether these are actually completed ships.

是以，北韓在一年左右的時間內建造兩艘這樣的船是非常快的，這讓一些專家懷疑這些船是否真的已經完工。

There are a few things in these images that point to the possibility that these ships don't actually have any engines fitted.

從這些圖片中可以看出，這些飛船實際上可能沒有安裝任何發動機。

So firstly, there are a series of vents in the funnel which are used to take in air for cooling the engine and other machinery deep inside the ship.

首先，漏斗上有一系列通風口，用於吸入空氣，冷卻船體深處的發動機和其他機器。

We can see in this image that all these vents, they're all blanked off with metal plates.

從圖中我們可以看到，所有這些通風口都用金屬板封住了。

They are not taking in any air for anything.

At the moment, we've only seen it moving around with the assistance of tugs.

目前，我們只看到它在拖船的協助下移動。

We've not seen it moving under its own power.

我們還沒有看到它依靠自己的力量移動。

The other clue is that the waterline, which is where the water is supposed to be, when the ship is normally loaded, it is a long way above the water, which indicates that the ship is very lightly loaded.

另一個線索是水線，也就是水應該在的位置，當船正常裝載時，水線離水面很遠，這表明船的裝載量很輕。

Now, again, that may not be particularly surprising because she won't have any fuel on board.

現在再說一遍，這可能並不特別令人吃驚，因為船上沒有任何燃料。

She won't have any provisions, any water, any significant amounts of weaponry.

她沒有任何給養、水和大量武器。

But it is still a very, very long way up, which suggests there's a large amount of mass missing.

但它仍有很長很長的一段路要走，這表明有大量品質丟失了。

The Choi-Hyung warships serve as a powerful propaganda tool for Kim.

崔衡號軍艦是金正日的有力宣傳工具。

Shortly after launching the first destroyer, North Korea also demonstrated its ability to fire missiles from the ship.

第一艘驅逐艦下水後不久，北韓也展示了從艦上發射飛彈的能力。

We know the Choi-Hyung can fire its guns.

我們知道 "崔亨 "號能發射炮彈。

Whether it's capable of a meaningful operational engagement is questionable.

它是否有能力進行有意義的行動參與還值得懷疑。

Whether it's capable of moving anywhere under its own power is questionable.

它能否依靠自身動力移動到任何地方都是個問題。

But even if there are no engines in North Korea's newest warships, the possibility that they could carry and launch nuclear weapons is a threatening development.

但是，即使北韓最新的軍艦上沒有發動機，它們攜帶和發射核武器的可能性也是一個威脅。

If more modern platforms are starting to enter North Korean service, then it complicates the South Korean calculus on how they deal with the North Korean navy and provides North Korea with more options for striking at South Korea or US bases in the region.

如果更多的現代化平臺開始進入北韓服役，那麼這將使韓國如何應對北韓海軍的問題變得更加複雜，併為北韓打擊韓國或美國在該地區的基地提供更多選擇。
