North Korean leader Kim Jong-un recently supervised the trial of new suicide drones that the country has developed, according to a report from the state-run KCNA news agency on Monday.
These drones, which are capable of remote operation, are designed to hit both ground and sea-based targets accurately across various ranges.
Kim emphasized the need for further development and mass production of these drones in various models, integrating them with units involved in tactical infantry and special operations, in addition to strategic reconnaissance and multipurpose attack roles. He also advocated for the integration of artificial intelligence into the drone systems.
Photos released by the agency captured the drones in action, destroying simulated targets such as a mock tank, with Kim and top government officials observing the operations.
This development comes as North Korea continues to enhance its military assets amidst its expressed worries over US military maneuvers near the Korean Peninsula. Pyongyang interprets these exercises as potential preparations for invasion.
Early in the month, KCNA highlighted that North Korea had increased its military strength with the addition of 250 new tactical ballistic missile launchers. Kim remarked that this enhancement was a countermeasure against what he described as the "increasingly savage" military collaboration between the US and its allies in the region.
While speaking to students at the Military and Political Academy in Pyongyang in April, Kim mentioned the necessity for North Korea to prepare for and prevail in potential conflicts, given the volatile military and political circumstances in the area.
The drone tests occur in the context of ongoing 11-day military drills by the US and South Korean forces, which include computer-simulated warfare and over 40 different field training exercises, featuring live ammunition.
