The U.S. is to deploy new attack drones in South Korea that could be used to kill North Korean leaders and launch pinpoint strikes on its missile launch pads.

Twelve Gray Eagle/MQ-1Cs will arrive at an air base in Gunsan, North Jeolla Province in March and April. Their deployment coincides with joint South Korea-U.S. drills that will be staged in early April right after the closing of the Winter Paralympics in Pyeongchang.

The Gray Eagle is an improved version of the MQ-1 Predator, the leading U.S. medium-altitude unmanned aerial vehicle, and has both strike and reconnaissance capabilities.

It could hit a vehicle carrying North Korean leaders, a missile launch site, or mobile missile launchers with four Hellfire anti-tank missiles or four Viper Strike small guided precision bombs. Each GPS-guided Viper Strike bomb weighs 20 kg and is accurate to within 1 meter so it can destroy even a fast-moving vehicle.


Better sleep tight while you still can Kimmy. You'll never be safe again once these bad boys are flying through your neighborhood.

Why are you supporting a dictator who kills his own people?

Conservatives tend to be warmongers. Its like theyve already forgotten the disastrous conflicts that GW Bush got us into.

This type of shit has always seemed ridiculous to me.

TC. Since the day you were born the US has had the ability to exterminate nearly all of the population of North Korea overnight and has had targetting solutions programmed in to do exactly that. Why would some drones scare Kim Jong Un more than the sword hanging over his entire country?

You're comparing total annihilation of a country to a single undetectable night time operation to destroy a single are of a building?

Kim would be aware of a large incoming military campaign to dispose him. Compare that to the possibility that at any time a small aerial craft could kill him with no warning and yes that is much scarier.
