North Korea is in a ‘rearme’ situation. That word, so currently used by European leaders, could also be applied to the Asian country, although really, in this case it is something different, since it is one of the most militarized countries in the world. And so they want to continue being, according to what its supreme leader, Kim Jong-un said recently.
This can be verified with your latest statements. Putin’s dictator and ally in his war against Ukraine, where Pyongyang allocated several thousand soldiers several months ago, recently stated that his country has to produce more recognition and attack drones.
These are “suicidal attack drones,” as they explained from North Korea. They are equipped with artificial intelligence, in what is considered as an attempt by Pyongyang to renew and improve their arms capabilities. Therefore, the implementation of this type of technologies has become a priority for the supreme leader
These pretensions of Kim Jong-un have been especially clear in recent weeks, something that was ratified by Cha du-Hyeogn, South Korea’s intelligence exassor, North Korea analyst in Seoul.
“North Korea is realizing the need not only of nuclear weapons, but also of modernized capabilities for large -scale war, such as AI and unmanned systems,” said Cha. In addition, he insisted that “there is a risk that these become true combat capabilities within a relatively short period.”
As Yoo Yong-Won, a member of the National Defense Committee and according to the information published in the French media explained Marianne“North Korea is completely transforming when updating its weapons systems for modern war based on their experiences in war in Ukraine and copying military technologies from countries such as China and Russia.” This assured it last Friday before local media
Thus, echoing the information of Pyongyang, North Korea has developed “a new type of unmanned plane of strategic recognition”, capable of tracking and monitoring numerous objectives both on land and sea.
In fact, photographs of Kim were recently leaked inspecting a great recognition drone on a track and others crashing against terrestrial objectives. One of those that appears in the images is very similar to the US RQ-4 Global Hawk surveillance plane, according to the expert information.
Finally, the country’s leader pointed out the importance of “following the trend of modern war in which competition is accelerating for the use of smart drones as the main means of military power and the scope of its use is constantly expanding in military activities,” according to the report of the Central News Agency of Korea.
