A South Korean delegation will soon travel to Poland to inspect their UAVs and assess their suitability for operations on the Korean Peninsula. This move comes amidst increasing recognition of the importance of drones in modern warfare. Notably, Poland’s Warmate suicide drone has seen deployment by Ukraine in its ongoing conflict with Russia.
The exploration of Polish UAVs follows Defense Minister Shin Won-sik’s visit to Poland last month. This visit potentially yielded Polish interest in selling their drone technology to South Korea.
South Korea’s military is actively seeking to integrate UAV capabilities into its operations. The recent establishment of the Drone Operations Command in September 2022 underscores this commitment to unmanned aerial systems.
This potential drone acquisition could signify a strategic alignment between the South Korean and Polish defense industries. However, the specific types of Polish UAVs under consideration and the timeline for evaluation and acquisition remain undisclosed.
