...hereditary Communist monarchy distinguished by its truculence and periodic acts of violence. Distinguishing features include Songun (Army First) policy, which involves feeding the army before anyone but the Dear Leadership, and Juche, which is Kim Jong Il's personal interpretation of Marxism-Leninism, which he told everybody was brilliant.

has issued an order for the mass production of kamikaze/suicide drones following successful tests of these drones. The directive highlights North Korea’s growing focus on enhancing its military capabilities.

According to North Korea’s state news agency, Kim stated on Friday, November 15, that there is an escalating global race to utilize drones for military purposes. He emphasized the urgent need to update military strategies in light of these advancements.

The introduction of kamikaze drones has become increasingly prevalent in conflicts such as the Russia-Ukraine war and the Middle East, according to Rooters. These drones are shaping modern warfare by offering strategic advantages.

This growing alliance not only intensifies the war in Ukraine but also challenges the existing balance of power, prompting heightened vigilance among Western nations.
