북, '자폭 무인기' 성능시험 공개… 김정은 "더많이 생산"
North Korea's Kim Jong-un oversaw a test show of "suicide drones" this past weekend.
The drones revealed by the regime, appear similar to those used by Russia.
Our defense correspondent Choi Min-jung reports.
North Korean leader Kim Jong-un supervised a performance test of so-called suicide drones on Saturday, and called for the development of more, to boost war readiness.
According to state media on Monday, Kim oversaw the test of the new exploding drones, which are made to precisely destroy preset enemy targets on the ground and in the sea.
Kim emphasized the need to develop different types of drones, and improve combat capabilities for war operations.
He also highlighted the importance of incorporating artificial intelligence technology when developing drones.
Of the two drones revealed in the photographs, one resembles Russia's Lancet-three, which has had significant success in targeting Ukrainian forces.
South Korea is looking into the possibility of Pyongyang receiving help from Moscow.
“We are aware that Russia gave some drones to North Korea as gifts. We need to analyze various aspects, including whether North Korea made modifications to improve their performance."
One expert says the test could have been aimed at boasting that the regime is capable of producing and supplying drones to Russia.
"Russia is currently very dependent on drones in the war against Ukraine. So if North Korea develops and now produces them, I believe it will be meaningful in the long term with regard to supplying weapons to Russia."
The expert also pointed out that the North's drones could be beneficial to the regime, as they are harder to detect and strike,.. due to their small size and low-altitude flight maneuvers.
