KCNA Commentary on U.S. Drone Operation

Pyongyang, September 27 (KCNA) -- Secret U.S. drone bases were built in Ethiopia and Seychelles. The construction of a secret airfield is now making brisk headway on the Arabian Peninsula, The Washington Post said on Sept. 21.

U.S. enterprises including Graman, Boeing, Lockheed Martin are vying with each other in developing drones such as ones meant for aircraft carriers with huge investment.

This goes to prove that the U.S. is attaching ever increasing importance to drone operations and pushing forward them in real earnest.

The main target of the drone operation is the Asian Pacific region.

The U.S. is mulling transferring 53 tactical drones of the U.S. Air Force such as "predator" and "reeper" to East Asia from Iraq and Afghanistan. And it seeks to deploy more efficient strategic drone reconnaissance planes as Global Hawk in the vicinity of the Korean Peninsula.

Then why such frantic moves?

They can be explained by the U.S. aim to put increased spurs to the pursuance of its unchallenged Asia-Pacific strategy.

The U.S. considers the Asia-Pacific region as more important than any other regions in its strategy for dominating the world. It remains unchanged in its strategy of strength to maintain a military edge over this region.
