North Korean leader Kim Jong Un called for his country to seize “absolute superiority” in drone technology as he attended an exhibition and demonstration of unmanned aeronautical technology, state media KCNA reported on Friday.
The firepower demonstration following the exhibition involved tactical suicide attack drones, tactical cruise missiles, multipurpose drones and a battalion of 600 mm multiple rocket launchers, KCNA said.
The display highlighted Kim’s push to modernize North Korea’s armed forces by using drones and artificial intelligence as Pyongyang draws lessons from its forces’ experience in Russia’s war against Ukraine and from other global conflicts.
