North Korea unveils two new UAVs

North Korea has unveiled two new unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), which outwardly appear to resemble US-origin UAVs.

The aircraft were shown on 26 July during the visit of Russian Minister of Defence Sergei Shoigu and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un to the Weapons and Equipment Exhibition 2023 at the Armed Forces Hall in Pyongyang. The aircraft resemble the General Atomics Aeronautical Systems (GA-ASI) MQ-9 Reaper and the Northrop Grumman RQ-4 Global Hawk.

According to the state-owned television, the larger of the two aircraft had been designated as a reconnaissance aircraft and the smaller Reaper-like UAV has been described as a multirole UAV. Both models of UAVs carried the inscription‘조선인민군공군' (Korean People's Air Force: KPAF) on the sides of the fuselage. The two aircraft also had serial numbers painted on the sides – potentially indicating the aircraft are in service.
