⚡️🇰🇵 — North Korea announced it had tested a new AI-assisted precision-guided torpedo system, named Zam-2.0, designed to use artificial intelligence for target detection and guidance. The underwater test took place on Thursday, according to state media, which said the system had undergone more than 180 tests over the past five years. — Al Arabiya

➡️ Analysts say AI could help torpedoes distinguish real targets from decoys and potentially carry out evasive maneuvers. However, experts cautioned that North Korea still faces technical challenges, particularly reducing the underwater noise generated at high speeds, which makes torpedoes easier to detect.

➡️ The test follows Pyongyang’s recent launches of submarine-based cruise missiles and an AI-assisted hypersonic missile, as North Korea and South Korea intensify their weapons competition. Analysts believe Russian assistance, potentially provided in exchange for North Korean troops supporting Moscow’s war against Ukraine, may be accelerating Pyongyang’s military development.

➡️ The latest tests come amid speculation that US President Donald Trump could meet North Korean leader Kim Jong Un during his Asian tour next month, around the November APEC summit in China.
