Undedized images, published by the Official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA), show that Kim is surrounded by a track staff inspecting a drone.
Kim agreed to a plan to expand the production of equipment, KCNA added.
Analysts said the development of technology was probably aided by Russia, which North Korea has recently supported by sending its soldiers to help with Moscow's war in Ukraine.
James Patton Rogers, CEO of the Institute for Technology Policy of Cornell Brooks and a drone expert, agreed that the Attack drone was proof of the “fruits” of increasingly closer relationships that they both torn In recent years.
Initially, North Korea revealed the existence of drones – also known as bad ammunition, which bump into whole with their built -in combat heads – in August 2024.
Patton Rogers said he “should worry about South Korea and the international community” that Pyongyang is now developing such opportunities.
“North Korea envies the future of drones for its military,” he told the BBC.
“The problem is whether these algorithms are healthy enough, secure enough, advanced enough to make decisions that do not escalate the delicate situation with the security of the Korean Peninsula.”
He said that Russian help probably entered the development of the drone.

More resembling a commercial aircraft, these aircraft use radar to provide an air inspection of a combat area.
South Korean officials said it would take longer to evaluate the efficiency of the air aircraft in Pyongyang in the early warning.
