North Korea’s military authorities recently conducted successful tests of reconnaissance and offensive-use “miniaturized unmanned drones,” Daily NK has learned.
Unmanned drones have been a significant focus of attention within North Korea’s military because North Korean leader Kim Jong Un referred to their development as an “important task” for the country during the Eighth Party Congress in January.
A Daily NK military source reported yesterday that the tests occurred over three days from Apr. 10 at a test facility in Banghyun District in the city of Gusong, North Pyongan Province. Researchers, engineers, and other officials from the Munitions Industry Department, Academy of National Defense Science, and the Ministry of Defense’s Bureau of Weapons Review observed the tests.
