As reported today by the state-run ACNC news agency, during his tour of the Drone Institute of the Academy of Defense Science on Saturday, Kim, who chairs the State Affairs Committee, witnessed the accurate destruction of targets by the aforementioned drones.

Kim said that the global trend of military science calls for the development of the drone industry in both quantity and variety, including the so-called kamikaze or suicide drones, in order to provide infantry and special operations units with a wide tactical range.

Given our country’s characteristics, he noted, (a country) bathed by the sea, we should further develop underwater strategic weapon systems, such as the nuclear torpedo and other self-destructive underwater drones and apply artificial intelligence on such a task.

He ordered to carry out more rigorous tests under combat conditions and to supply them to the armed forces as soon as possible.

Experts who analyzed photos of the drones overseen by Kim Jong Un, published by ACNC, noted that at first glance some of them bear resemblance to the Russian-produced ZALA Lancet and Israel’s IAI Harop.
