North Korea has released images and footage of what appear to be exact replicas of U.S. RQ-4 'Hawk' and MQ-9 'Reaper.' Capabilities are unknown.
The bigger of the two drones, aka the "Hawk-type," bears a very close resemblance in size and appearance to the US Air Force's RQ-4A jet-powered drone and similar models utilized by the US Navy, NATO and other nations such as South Korea. The North Korean design also accurately replicates essential aspects of the American-made drone, such as the V-tail and the air intake positioned above the fuselage.
Very little information about the "Global Hawk-type" drone's specifications and mission is available. However, based on its resemblance to the RQ-4 series, it is likely designed for high-altitude flights and can cover longer distances depending on its engine performance and other factors. As for the smaller "Global Reaper-type" drone, recent satellite images revealed that it likely has a wingspan of about 65 feet , which is only slightly smaller than the wingspan of the actual MQ-9 drone at 66 feet .
