Israel-Palestine Conflict: Military Lessons for South Korea? : the advent of suicide drones and cheap rockets necessitates rethinking South Korea's defense strategy/ Schoni Song - 2021

The Israel-Palestine conflict has provided a sharp lesson on how future battles might be fought the world over. What's different in the recent Israeli-Palestinian conflict is the use of low-cost loitering munition systems, along with rockets, by Hamas. Each rocket or drone costs far less than a crewed platform or a fully reusable UAV. It's also important to recognize that unlike South Korea and other liberal democracies, adversaries may have no ethical or legal concerns about using autonomous weapons.
