Photos accompanying the report — the first time Pyongyang has made public the existence of its suicide drones — showed blurred images of two of the weapons attacking targets, including a dramatic image that showed one of the drones destroying what appeared to be mock-up of South Korea’s main K-2 battle tank. Pointing to the growing importance of drones on the battlefield, Kim said that developing different types of the weapons and “steadily increasing their combat performance” are crucial “in preparing for a war.” “It is necessary to develop and produce more suicide drones of various types to be used in tactical infantry and special operation units, as well as strategic reconnaissance and multi-purpose attack drones,” the North Korean leader said.
