Seoul: Amid tensions between the US and North Korea, Kim Jong Un is constantly expanding and demonstrating his growing military capabilities. The world is aware of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un’s love for missiles. But now Kim has also started liking drones. North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has once again witnessed the demonstration of special ‘suicide drones’ designed to attack targets. During this, Kim vowed to strengthen his army’s war preparations and promote the development of such weapons.
Various types of drones included
North Korea’s official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) said the test involved different types of drones designed to target enemy targets at different ranges on the surface and at sea and fly different routes after hitting the target with precision. KCNA said that after the test, Kim vowed to promote the development of drones capable of carrying out explosions and reconnaissance of underwater targets to keep his country prepared in case of war. During this, he also said that the North Korean army should be equipped with advanced drones “as soon as possible.”
