South Korea plans to equip every soldier with a personal drone. France 24 reported that Seoul will train 500,000 soldiers in drone use and manufacture more than 100,000 drones in the next three years. The effort responds to a shrinking number of active military personnel and young people available for recruitment.
Self-guided weapons are positioned as a way to maintain defensive capability against North Korea.
