Norks threaten use of nukes

AFP:

North Korea on Saturday warned it was prepared to use nuclear weapons if it was invaded by the US and South Korea.

The official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) carried the remarks by the North's Joint Chief, General Ri Yong-Ho, during a national meeting on the eve of the birthday of the communist country's armed forces.

"The revolutionary armed forces of the DPRK (North Korea) are fully ready to frustrate any provocation of the aggressors at a single blow," Ri said.

"They will mobilise all means including the nuclear deterrent... should the US imperialists and the South Korean puppet warmongers dare intrude into the inviolable sky, land and seas of the DPRK even 0.001mm," he said.

...
It sounds like they fear retaliation for the sinking of the South Korean corvette. I am not sure what the government of South Korea has in mind, but I suspect they are gathering the evidence to be used in a presentation at the UN. Not that the Norks care what the UN think, but it could lead to greater sanctions against the despotic regime in North Korea. The key may be what the Chinese think of the irresponsible conduct of the North Korean regime.

Drones appear to be replacing jets for many operations.  The Russia-Ukraine war is an example of that.  Drones are often hard to detect and can be used for intelligence operations as well as for attacking enemy targets.  It would not surprise me to see drones engaging other drones in combat.  They also cost much less than manned fighters.
