South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol speaks at an interview with Reuters in Seoul, on Nov 28.SEOUL – South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol said on Tuesday he would advance the creation of a military unit specialising in drones, criticising the military response to a border intrusion by North Korean drones.on Monday, prompting Seoul to scramble fighter jets and attack helicopters, and try to shoot them down, in the first such intrusion since 2017.
"The incident showed a substantial lack of our military's preparedness and training for the past several years, and clearly confirmed the need for more intense readiness and training," Yoon told a cabinet meeting. The military apologised for its failure to shoot down the drones, which it said were too small to easily intercept, measuring about 3 metres.
In 2017, a North Korean drone on an apparent spy mission crashed and was found on a mountain near the border. In 2014, a North Korean drone was discovered on a South Korean border island. Analysts said the drones might be too small and primitive to conduct full reconnaissance missions, but they could be enough to carry a weapon or disrupt aviation activity, as seen on Monday, when flights departing from the Incheon and Gimpo airports were suspended briefly.
