North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has announced plans to significantly increase the production of military drones, particularly kamikaze drones. This move appears to be supported by intensified cooperation with Russia, which has utilized drones in its Ukraine conflict. Kim emphasized the need for full-scale mass production of these military assets to modernize military tactics in response to growing global competition. Tensions on the Korean Peninsula have escalated, with North Korea conducting drone incursions over South Korea and testing its own drone capabilities, prompting South Korea to enhance its defense systems.
