"North Korea has deployed an indigenous unmanned aerial vehicle capable of attacking ground targets based on stolen U.S. target drones, the Pentagon revealed in a report to Congress.
Images of the North Korean drone in flight were shown as part of a March 2013 military drill, the Pentagon report said.
"The drone appeared to be a North Korean copy of a Raytheon MQM-107 Streaker target drone," the report said. "North Korean press coverage of the event described the UAV as being capable of precision strikes by crashing into the target."
Those pesky North Koreans. Using our own designs against us.
