So why the purchase? NK doesn’t have the hard cash to waste. Maybe they can use something new? Like Carbon Filiments? Think of all the most successful terrorist attacks and what made them successful? They improvised they adapted, they made the best use of what they had. They don’t have a billion dollar R&D funding.
How about bragging? Has any purchases been confirmed?
I suspect that the west have been flinging panicky tales of emps around so much that it’s a cheap lever for the monkey boys.
