Military experts debated the unseen results of the coming budget cuts to South Korea’s spy satellites and Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) development plans.

The South Korean National Assembly on Thursday decided to draw back a significant amount of funding from the development of spy satellites and UAVs.

On the development of satellites alone, the South Korean military originally requested about 64 billion Korean won ($55 million). But the National Assembly has decided to cut the budget for these to 2 billion won.

The budget for the development of division-level reconnaissance UAVs also was nearly halved from 24.8 billion won to 13.2
