North Korea Unveils Clones of Israeli Kamikaze Drones.


North Korea's advances in drone technology are major problems for South Korea and could become a new deadly export for Pyongyang.

Though Harop’s targeting capabilities are highly automated, the operator can manually make fine course corrections in the terminal stages of flight to further improve accuracy, as well as the ability to abort an attack entirely should circumstances change. There is no indication one way or the other that the country in question was North Korea, but images Israeli authorities released at the time of the illicit loitering munition work showed designs roughly in line with variants of the Hero family. Though kamikaze drones are not new, their value has now been made fully clear by their regular use on both sides in the ongoing war in Ukraine, as well as by Iran and its proxies throughout the Middle East, including in attacks on Israel and ships in and around the Red Sea.
