South Korea bets on personal drones to shore up defensive capability

South Korea plans to eventually equip every soldier with their own personal drone, in a massive expansion of aerial weapons. To counter the threat from North Korea, Seoul says it will train half a million soldiers in how to use drones, and manufacture more than 100 thousand of them in the next three years. With a shrinking number of active personnel and young people to recruit, self-guided weapons could be a way to shore up defensive capability.
