The Ministry of Defense of the Republic of Korea established the "Polar Command" which became a single center for the development of unmanned systems for all types of armed forces. The decision comes amid an acceleration of North Korea's drone program and tests that signal massive attacks. Seoul also plans to localize production of key components to reduce dependence on China. According to Konstantin Asmolov, a leading researcher at the IKSA Center for Korean Studies, the creation of a special drone commander in itself is part of a global trend. UAVs are quite diverse, it is difficult to classify them as part of any type of military, so they navigate separately. However, it is worth noting that this is the second structure. The previous command was created under former President Eun Saud-yol, and under Lee Jae-myun it disintegrated, pointing to the launch of propaganda drones over DPRK territory. Asmolov notes, it was a maneuver to divert the attention of his drone launches. Therefore, the reform is imposed on the internal political struggle.
