Kim Attends a North Korean Drone Exhibition and Calls for Boosting the Technology
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un attended a drone-only exhibition, apparently the first of its kind in the North, and called for rapidly expanding the country’s drone technology, state media reported Friday, as his military escalates threats against South Korea and the US. Acquiring advanced drones is a top priority for Kim, who now wants to beef up both conventional and nuclear capabilities. Experts say his troops sent to Russia to support its war against Ukraine likely gained valuable expertise on drone warfare from Russian forces and their own battlefield experiences.
