[Featured Stock] Perstek Deploys Domestic Kamikaze Drone in Field... Spotlight on Kamikaze Drones Increases

Perstek is showing strong performance. This is interpreted as being influenced by news that the Ministry of National Defense is accelerating the deployment of domestically produced kamikaze drones in actual combat.

As of 10:16 AM on the 23rd, Perstek is trading at 3,360 KRW, up 5.0% compared to the previous day.

According to a media report the previous day, the Ministry of National Defense is currently undergoing testing, evaluation, and contract procedures for the deployment of domestically produced kamikaze drones. The number of drones to be deployed within the year is expected to be in the dozens, and plans are in place to improve performance and increase the number of drones in the future.

The military anticipates that in the event of a crisis on the Korean Peninsula, the conflict could resemble a "drone war of attrition" similar to the Ukraine war, and it is reported that they have also established a policy to stockpile kamikaze drones at levels comparable to artillery shells.

Meanwhile, Perstek is considered one of the leaders in the domestic UAM market and possesses drone-related technological capabilities. The company has cooperated with Israeli UAV company UVision and last year released a canister-launched drone similar to the well-known American kamikaze drone Switchblade.
