Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

South Korean military after the DPRK starts applying a mirror coating to drones: "Ahh. Well... Nevertheless."
Jokes aside, the real challenge will be cooling and targeting and fire rate. China has already got swarming drone attack munitions in service so it's less of a matter of how much it costs to down one drone and more of a matter of can this thing fire fast enough to down 10, 20, or 50 drones in a minute.
The South Korean defence industry is very interesting because its products are being treated as substitute goods for American/German/French weapons by 2nd tier NATO and vassal powers but all of them are essentially completely untested in any sort of conflict and who the fuck even knows how the supply chain from South Korea to (say) Poland will hold up in an actual conflict. I suspect that a lot of it is just NAFO types blindly cheerleading whatever tanks their side buys.
