"Missile Guidelines Lifted, Development of Suicide Drones Also Possible"

[Asia Economy Yang Nak-gyu, Military Specialist Reporter] Following the complete lifting of missile guidelines at the South Korea-US summit, there are expectations that suicide drones will be developed.

On the 25th, Kim Byung-joo, a member of the Democratic Party of Korea, appeared on TBS Traffic Broadcasting radio program ‘Kim Eo-jun's News Factory’ and said, “The missile guidelines include regulations on drones and unmanned aerial vehicles,” adding, “Cruise missiles and suicide drones share the same technology.” Kim also stated, “Until now, unmanned aerial vehicles over 2.5 tons could not be developed, so they could not be equipped with bombs and only had surveillance cameras.” He continued, “Now, they will be equipped with weapon systems capable of mounting weapons and firing immediately.”

On the same day, Nam Se-gyu, former director of the Defense Science Research Institute, explained, “We have developed almost all the missiles necessary for our current security,” and added, “Just because you make a small car doesn’t mean you can’t make a big car.” He emphasized, “Now that there are no barriers, we can approach freely.”

Former Director Nam also spoke about the missile technology possessed by our military, saying, “North Korea has recently developed various technologies such as Iskander, but we started development 20 years earlier than North Korea,” and explained, “The technology related to Hyunmoo missiles, including accuracy, range, and ballistic power, surpasses the world’s top level.”
