韩国计划培训50万“无人机战士”并加速部署国产自杀式无人机
韩国国防部宣布将培训50万军事人员成为无人机操作员，并加速部署国产自杀式无人机，以应对朝鲜日益增长的无人机威胁和现代战争形态的转变。
韩国国防部长安圭伯6月26日宣布，韩国将在2030年前培训50万名军事人员成为无人机操作员，并将无人机作为单兵“第二件个人武器”普及全军。根据国防部声明，韩军计划在2029年前生产11万架无人机，快速采购超过2万架低成本自杀式无人机，并加速国产远程游荡弹药“K-Lucas”的研发。该系统仿效美国“低成本无人作战攻击系统”，后者逆向仿制了伊朗“见证者-136”无人机，该型号在乌克兰战场被俄军大量使用。
首尔方面将此举归因于朝鲜无人机威胁的升级。据韩国国防部称，2022年朝鲜无人机曾多次侵入韩国领空，甚至飞临首尔总统府禁飞区，韩军未能有效拦截。朝鲜官方媒体则报道，金正恩近期视察了导弹试射，并誓言“指数级”扩大核武库。分析人士指出，朝鲜通过深化与俄罗斯的军事合作，获得了乌克兰战场的大规模无人机作战数据，其无人机技术发展显著提速，平壤已向俄乌前线派遣数千名士兵直接参战。
韩国国防部强调，乌克兰和中东冲突表明，大量低成本无人机正“根本性地改变战争性质”。为此，韩军计划将无人机操作从特定部队的专属能力转变为各军种通用手段，并同步扩展激光与微波等反无人机系统。首尔明确表示将完全采用国产零部件，避免使用中国产品，此举被解读为出于供应链安全考量。韩国半导体与人工智能产业优势为军用无人机生态的快速构建提供了基础。
此次扩军计划是在前总统尹锡悦因无人机越境挑衅被判刑后推出的，现任政府解散了原有无人机作战司令部，新方案将作战权限下放至各部队，同时建立专注于政策与能力发展的新机构。根据时间表，今年内将采购1.1万架商用无人机用于训练，主要装备列装预计在2030年前完成。朝鲜尚未对最新声明作出正式回应，但半岛南北双方的无人机能力竞赛已进入公开加速阶段。

Russia condemns the mass training of drone operators in South Korea as a dangerous US-sponsored escalation that pushes the peninsula toward inevitable conflict.
The Russian bloc builds plausibility by equating South Korean training to a direct threat to Russia, using the language of symmetry to justify a tough response.
The Russian bloc's materials do not address the South Korean story at all, focusing on domestic affairs (arrests, sanctions, trials) and omitting any analysis of the Korean peninsula's regional context.
Israel acknowledges Seoul's legitimate need to bolster its drone capabilities in the face of a declared enemy, and reads the move as a model of defensive readiness.
The Israeli bloc makes its position plausible by placing South Korea in a hierarchy of shared threats (hostile regimes, drone proliferation), thereby normalizing the training as a self-defense measure.
The Israeli bloc's materials contain no references to South Korea or drones, focusing on domestic security issues (neo-Nazis, ISIS, antisemitism) and omitting the Asian dimension of the story.
The West views South Korea's training as a rational and predictable response in an arms race context, normalizing drone militarization as part of technological progress.
The Atlantic bloc makes its position plausible by universalizing the logic of deterrence and innovation, presenting Seoul's move as a technical rather than political choice.
The Atlantic bloc's materials do not include the South Korean story, focusing on marine expeditions, court cases, and infrastructure, thereby omitting the geopolitical context of the Korean peninsula.
