Kim Jong Un Orders Mass Production of Suicide Drones for Russia Amid Calls for War Preparations and Nuclear Force Bolstering
Nov 17, 2024, 10:02 PM
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has directed the country's defense industries to initiate mass production of suicide drones, a move that raises concerns about potential military support for Russia in its ongoing conflict in Ukraine. This directive is part of a broader strategy to enhance North Korea's military capabilities, including updates to its national military theory and a call for improved readiness for actual warfare. Kim's remarks come amid escalating tensions on the Korean Peninsula, which he attributes to the actions of the U.S. and South Korea. Additionally, he emphasized the need to bolster nuclear forces 'without limitation' and complete preparations for war, reflecting a growing alignment between North Korea and Russia amid their respective military challenges.
