North Korea Expands Drone Program Under Kim Jong-un’s Directive
North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has ordered the mass production of kamikaze drones, following successful test flights observed by state media. These drones, which reportedly exhibit capabilities similar to Russia’s widely used tactics in Ukraine, are designed for remote operation and are difficult to intercept. Analysts suggest that the development marks a significant leap from prototype to mass production, potentially aided by technological support from Russia. The move aligns with Kim’s strategy to enhance North Korea’s military capabilities in the context of regional tensions, specifically targeting the U.S. and South Korea.
