Drone Technology

South Korea's military will provide drone operation training to all conscripts starting next year to bolster combat capabilities in modern warfare, the defense ministry announced on Wednesday. Dubbed the "500,000 drone warrior" project, the plan allocates about 33 billion won ($22.9 million) to purchase around 11,000 small commercial drones for training. Defense Minister Ahn Gyu-back stated that fostering these drone warriors will not only enhance military drone operations but also serve as a foundation for troops to enter related industries after service.
