North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has overseen the testing of suicide drones equipped with artificial intelligence, declaring that unmanned control and AI capabilities must be top priorities in modern weapons development.
Kim also inspected upgraded reconnaissance drones capable of detecting tactical targets and enemy movements on land and at sea.
The inspections included a flight test of a reconnaissance drone at Panghyon Airbase and tests of suicide drones targeting mock objects.
North Korea additionally unveiled an airborne early-warning aircraft for the first time—a system that could enhance its outdated air defense capabilities.
The country has stepped up its drone development, including kamikaze-style munitions, in what analysts suspect is part of deepening military ties with Russia over the past year.
