North Korea has launched mass production of attack drones, possibly borrowing Israeli technology.
Israel Info writes that North Korea has begun testing new attack drones designed to destroy enemy targets. The country’s leader, Kim Jong-un, ordered to accelerate the transition towards mass production of these weapons, according to North Korean state media.
Drones are designed to deliver explosives with precision and hit targets, acting as guided missiles. The DPRK Central News Agency (KCNA) presented photographs showing Kim Jong-un discussing drone development with military representatives. Photos show attack drones destroying obsolete vehicles and tanks, demonstrating their combat capabilities.
According to KCNA, the North Korean leader was satisfied with the tests and stressed the importance of creating a mass production system for drones as soon as possible. The agency’s report notes that these drones are very effective and relatively low cost, making them versatile for various military purposes.
The KCNA statement said attack drones must be capable of precision strikes against enemy land and sea targets.
Pyongyang first unveiled its attack drones in August this year. Experts point out its similarity to the Israeli IAI Harop and HERO 30 models, as well as the Russian Lancet-3. It is assumed that the technology could have reached the DPRK through Russia, which in turn could have received it from Iran. Iran has previously been accused of stealing Israeli military developments through cyberattacks.
This new stage in weapons development indicates a possible connection between the DPRK, Russia and Iran, causing concern in the international community. Modern drones are becoming an essential element of armed conflicts, and mass production of such systems in North Korea can significantly improve its military potential.
