Respected Comrade Kim Jong Un Guides
Performance Test of Suicide Attack Drones of

Various Types

Pyongyang, November 15 (KCNA) -- Kim Jong Un, general secretary of the
Workers' Party of Korea and president of the State Affairs of the Democratic
People's Republic of Korea, guided on the spot the performance test of suicide
attack drones of various types produced by an affiliated institute of the Unmanned
Aerial Technology Complex (UATC) and enterprises on Nov. 14.
He was accompanied by Ri Pyong Chol and Jo Yong Won, members of the
Presidium of the Political Bureau of the C.C., WPK, and other senior officials of the
C.C., WPK and the general manager of the UATC.
The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un got firsthand information on the attack
drones under development and watched the test.
The suicide attack drones to be used within different striking ranges are to perform a

mission to precisely attack any enemy targets on the ground and in the sea.
In the test, the drones of various types precisely hit the targets after flying along
different preset tactical routes in striking ranges.
Expressing satisfaction with the tactical and technical characteristics and data of the
newly developed drones, Kim Jong Un highly appreciated the fact that the UATC
has achieved remarkable successes in promoting the objects the plenary meetings
of the Party Central Committee and the Party Central Military Commission decided
and instructed to the defence industry. Then he underscored the need to build a
serial production system as early as possible and go into full-scale mass production.
He said: The competition for using drones as the main means of military capabilities
by introducing innovative technology is being accelerated in the world. It is easy to
use them as a component of striking power in a new domain due to their ever-
expanding range of use in military activities, low production cost and simple
production lines. The military authorities in the world will probably recognize that the
drones are achieving clear successes in big and small conflicts. This is a trend that

has emerged as an essential requirement in military aspect nowadays.
Such objective change urgently calls for updating many parts of military theory,
practice and education and keenly calls upon the fields of defence science and
education to redouble the prompt practical action and efforts, he said.

He affirmed that the DPRK has full possibility and potentiality to produce and
introduce various types of drones and it would find a prospect of combining and
applying new and promising tactical methods in the aspect of tactics as required by
modern warfare, too.
He said that the WPK has recently attached importance to the line of perfectly
combining unmanned military hardware systems with operational plans and war
principle in a military policy way and steadily supplemented and completed them. He
referred to the plan of the Party Central Committee on developing unmanned military
hardware and set forth a crucial strategic policy for implementing it.
His on-site guidance at the work of the Unmanned Aerial Technology Complex
serves as a landmark occasion that gave fresh vitality to the struggle for firmly
defending the sovereignty and security of our Republic by dynamically promoting the
qualitative development of the unmanned military hardware systems that are
practical and essential in bolstering up the national defence capabilities and actively
deterring and controlling potential challenges and threats in all aspects with their
absolute superiority. -0-
