North Korea has tested a new underwater nuclear-capable attack drone. Significantly, the drone operated continuously for 59 hours underwater before being destroyed
As part of a drill to intimidate the US and South Korean armed forces. The North Korean military deployed and tested-fired the new weapons system this week during a military drill directed by Kim Jong Un, with the aim of determining if it could produce a deadly blast and wave on a super-scale. According to KCNA, This nuclear underwater assault drone may be launched at any coast and port or operated while being towed by a surface ship.
The nuclear-capable underwater attack drone tested by Pyongyang can also leash a radioactive Tsunami. The drone was placed in the ocean near South Hamgyong province on Tuesday as part of the experiment, and it drifted there for 59 hours and 12 minutes, at a depth of about 80 to 150 metres (260 to 490 feet), before exploding on Thursday in the waters of the province’s east coast. Yonhap said that the drone’s final target point was a mock enemy port set up in the waters of Hongwon Bay. The drone exercise comes as a US B-1B strategic bomber returned to South Korea to participate in the joint military exercise on Sunday, just 16 days after its previous deployment, as Pyongyang fired yet another ballistic missile into the East Sea.
