The South Korean military has come up with countermeasures against North Korean drones.

It was a countermeasure that was put forward a day after the unmanned aerial vehicle penetrated the sky in Seoul, and the expression new manual, new equipment, and new unit was repeated again.



Kim Tae-hoon, a defense reporter, pointed out whether this is a fundamental solution.



<Reporter> The



military held an emergency briefing yesterday (27th) and apologized to the public.



[Kang Shin-cheol/Chief of Operations Headquarters of the Joint Chiefs of Staff: I apologize for not being able to detect and track but not shoot down.]



Attack drones can detect and strike, but this small reconnaissance drone less than 3m like this one confesses that it lacks in detection and strike. I put it.



Accordingly, as a countermeasure, an aggressive manual was put forward by actively using detection assets such as radar to detect unmanned aerial vehicles at an early stage, while aggressively injecting ground-to-air strike assets.



He also said that he would periodically conduct joint air defense drills between the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps at the Joint Chiefs of Staff level in order to shoot down without civilian casualties.



Every time a North Korean drone was discovered, the manual and training were rewritten, but now it was helpless, so it will be maintained again.



President Yoon Seok-yeol also pointed out the lack of training.



[President Yoon Seok-yeol: It was an incident that showed that the preparedness and training of our military had been very lacking over the past few years and clearly confirmed the need for more intense preparedness and training.]



In addition, the military has also put forward a plan to establish a drone unit with various capabilities early and secure stealth drones.



However, in 2015, a dedicated unit was set up in the Capital Defense Command to catch North Korean small drones, and nearly 3,000 units of various drones have been deployed in the Army alone.



Before hurriedly coming up with countermeasures, it seems that a closer inspection is needed to see if North Korean drones are missed due to lack of equipment or troops, or if there are loopholes in manuals and training.
