Then he underscored the need to build a serial production system as early as possible and go into full-scale mass production.

He said: The competition for using drones as the main means of military capabilities by introducing innovative technology is being accelerated in the world. It is easy to use them as a component of striking power in a new domain due to their ever-expanding range of use in military activities, low production cost and simple production lines. The military authorities in the world will probably recognize that the drones are achieving clear successes in big and small conflicts. This is a trend that has emerged as an essential requirement in military aspect nowadays.

Such objective change urgently calls for updating many parts of military theory, practice and education and keenly calls upon the fields of defence science and education to redouble the prompt practical action and efforts, he said.

He affirmed that the DPRK has full possibility and potentiality to produce and introduce various types of drones and it would find a prospect of combining and applying new and promising tactical methods in the aspect of tactics as required by modern warfare, too.

He referred to the plan of the Party Central Committee on developing unmanned military hardware and set forth a crucial strategic policy for implementing it.

His on-site guidance at the work of the Unmanned Aerial Technology Complex serves as a landmark occasion that gave fresh vitality to the struggle for firmly defending the sovereignty and security of our Republic by dynamically promoting the qualitative development of the unmanned military hardware systems that are practical and essential in bolstering up the national defence capabilities and actively deterring and controlling potential challenges and threats in all aspects with their absolute superiority. -0-
