North Korea’s Kim calls for rapid expansion of drone technology and observes weapons tests
Kim urged rapid expansion of drone and AI weapons as North Korea showcased suicide drones, cruise missiles and rocket launchers, state media said.
- On Thursday, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un visited the "Unmanned Aviation Technology Development-2026" exhibition, calling for "absolute superiority" in drone technology to meet modern warfare demands.
- Heightened tensions between the two Koreas follow last month's landmine blasts at the border, with Pyongyang firing about 10 short-range ballistic missiles on Thursday in its first such test in 17 days.
- The exhibition displayed strategic multipurpose UAVs, suicide attack drones, and 600mm multiple rocket launchers; state media reported the weapons hit an island target with 100 per cent accuracy during a demonstration.
- Kim announced unspecified steps to "rapidly expand and strengthen" unmanned aeronautical technology, asserting that "strength precisely means peace and peace is guaranteed only by strength."
- North Korea has sent more than 16,000 personnel to Russia to aid in the war against Ukraine, gaining combat experience while dialing up weapons testing to boost leverage in potential diplomacy with the United States.
