Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin’s confirmation that the U.S. can now confirm the presence of North Korean troops in Russia is being viewed as a significant development. NBC News' Matt Bodner has the details for Early Today.
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un guided a test of suicide drones and ordered mass production of the aerial weapon, saying the introduction of such drones around the world requires an urgent update of military theory, state media said Friday. Kim had previously supervised the test of suicide drones earlier in the year amid a rapidly developing military cooperation with Russia, raising questions as to whether he was receiving technical help from Moscow to develop them.
Kim said the competition for using drones for military purposes is accelerating around the world, with military authorities most likely recognizing their success in conflicts of various scale. “Such objective change urgently calls for updating many parts of military theory, practice and education,” KCNA quoted Kim as saying.
