Is North Korea Developing A Dirty Bomb Drone?


Popular Mechanics: Experts: North Korea May Be Developing a Dirty Bomb Drone

Radioactive drone could sicken, make areas uninhabitable for years.

A Korean think tank claims that North Korea is developing a drone capable of spreading lethal amounts of radioactivity over a wide area, sickening people and making areas unlivable. If true, the weapon is the latest in a series of nuclear or radiological weapons being developed by North Korean leader Kim Jong-un's regime.

According to South Korea's Yonhap News Agency, Kim Jong-un may have begun to develop the drone in 2012, shortly after the death of his father Kim Il-sung. The Banghyun-5 drone, as it is supposedly called, is made of titanium and carbon composites and has a 900-liter fuel tank, allowing it to fly for up to 10 hours. The drone is designed to carry a payload of enriched uranium, which North Korea is believed to possess as a result of its nuclear weapons program.
