Are you suggesting we attack North Korea? Are you crazy! They have nuclear weapons!

Kim Jong-Un invented the drone.

This is a silly article. These drones tow targets so that Air Defense Artillery can have target practice. I am sure they can be weaponized but the article makes it sound like they have stolen state of the art technology that will kill us all.

Marcus Aurelius: Funny how the article fails to mention that that drone model is a thirty five year old target drone.

Must just be an oversight.

I thought all drones were targets.

Hopefully Best Korea will be as stringently ethical with their use as we are.

Drone technology falls into nerd hands.

The drone in question:



God help us if they master it.

Knowing them, the capability will be right up there with a 1970s Radio Shack remote control airplane.

target drones. You know, the ones we shoot down for practice. I don't see this as much of a problem.

If it runs off of broken dreams and shattered hopes we're all in big trouble.

Treygreen13: For their sake, the drones better use sadness and despair as fuel.

And an almost fanatical devotion to poverty.

Since it's on Fox News... I'm now begining to doubt that the U.S.A. has ever had drones.

Yeah... sure they are. I am sure we have a lot to be afraid of, and stuff. Everybody pan... zzzzz

More fearmongering from FOX News. They are nothing if not relentless.

Per TFA, We've been selling them to various middle eastern countries for a long time now. I wouldn't be too worried about how "high tech" these drones are.

Good luck with that.

theorellior: I'm confused, is Fox News trying to incite fear and loathing against North Korea now? I thought Iran was the approved subject for the beat of the war drums these days.

That's cute. So Iran going nuclear is nothing to worry about* I guess.

File too large to post, but worth the click.
But only if you like laughing...

I won't worry about any North Korean drone army until they construct additional pylons.

No one in the administration said that, implied it, or demonstrated it. Quite the opposite. I can only conclude that you're an ignorant buffoon.

There's nothing miraculous about the technology involved in producing drones.

Being able to build and maintain them with a most collapsed economy is going to be difficult.

And their biggest advantage seems to be against people without an airforce. Put these up against the US military and we'd swat them out of the air in the first couple of minutes.

So knock yourelves out Best-Korea.

What will their drones be made out of, coconuts and bamboo?

Yes, thirty-year old crap designed 40 years ago.

Huck Chaser: Are unmanned drones really such a complicated concept that they have to be "reverse engineered"?

In their defense, they are trying to put a dude in there.

So they made a ghetto cruse missile.

"assault freet," you mean.

This is an old drone used for target practice that is in the possession of a lot of countries. This isn't something they smuggled in secret, we've already KNOWN they've had these for a while.
