Summary

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un supervised tests of “suicide drones” and ordered their mass production, emphasizing the need for these low-cost, explosive-carrying UAVs in modern military strategy.

The drones, developed by North Korea’s Unmanned Aerial Technology Complex, successfully targeted both land and sea objectives.

The push for drone production comes amid North Korea’s growing military cooperation with Russia, and parallels the global rise of drones in conflicts like those in Ukraine and the Middle East. Kim aims to integrate these drones into North Korea’s broader military capabilities.

Because rockets and missiles are not the same thing. Missiles have internal guidance systems and can alter their course.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
