Respected Comrade Kim Jong Un Oversees Performance Test of Drones
Pyongyang, August 26 (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, oversaw a performance test of various drones
organized by the Drone Institute of the Academy of Defence Sciences on
August 24.

He was accompanied by Jo Yong Won, Ri Pyong Chol, Pak Jong Chon and
other senior officials of the C.C., WPK.
The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un got firsthand information on the
drones under development at the Drone Institute.
The mission of the drones to be used within different striking ranges is to
attack any enemy targets on the ground and in the sea.
The drones of various types all correctly identified and destroyed the
designated targets after flying along different preset routes.
Developing different types of drones and steadily increasing their combat
performance take an important share in preparing for a war in view of the
trend of world military science and combat experience on battlefields, Kim
Jong Un said that 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.
Calling for constantly developing not only underwater strategic weapon
systems like nuclear torpedo but also various types of underwater suicide
attack drones in conformity with the characteristics of our country as a
maritime nation, and opting for proactively introducing artificial intelligence
technology into the development of drones, he set forth detailed tasks and
ways for doing so.

Expressing satisfaction over the tactical and technical features and data of
the newly-developed drones, he stressed the need to more intensively
conduct tests for their combat application and equip People's Army units
with them as early as possible.

Officials, scientists and researchers of the Drone Institute of the Academy of
Defence Sciences hardly repressed their surging emotion, looking up to him
who personally guided the test on the spot and indicated the path to be
followed by them in enhancing the combat efficiency of drones and
developing drone industry, and hardened their determination to thoroughly
carry out the important tasks set forth by him and thus make a positive

contribution to bolstering up the country's self-defensive military
capabilities. -0-
