SEOUL, June 26 (Reuters) – South Korea will rapidly expand its drone and counter-drone capabilities, including by training 500,000 “drone warriors” and acquiring more than 20,000 low-cost expendable drones, the Defence Ministry said on Friday.
The military also plans to produce 110,000 drones in the period to 2029 for distribution across units, as part of a broader push to strengthen unmanned capabilities and counter North Korea, it said.
