Rodong Sinmun Thursday says in a bylined commentary in this regard:

This is little short of an open declaration of the U.S. that it would boost the drone capability and work hard to strengthen the aggression and military interference by relying on it.

The new-type drone assumes increasing danger as it has sphere of activities three times as much as the previous one and can take off and land on the deck of aircraft carrier.

The development of the new-type drone and its deployment can serve as a time bomb that may render the situation in the Asia-Pacific region strained and touch off a new arms race.

If the U.S. warmongers persist in the military hegemony and steadily pursue the development of drone, the international situation will develop into an unpredictable phase.

The U.S. has made efforts to realize its ambition to dominate the world by taking the military advantages, remaining utterly indifferent to the security and sovereignty of other nations and defying international denunciation. This is a dangerous criminal action posing threat to the global peace and humankind.

The U.S. should stop at once the reckless drone development.
