President Yoon Seok-yeol made strong remarks toward North Korea today (29th), emphasizing the military's preparedness.

The military, which only watched North Korean drones, conducted an intensive joint training, but the opposition party criticized it for making the people uneasy with 'security arms'.

President Yoon Seok-yeol, who has been giving tough instructions day after day since the infiltration of North Korean drones, such as be prepared for escalation and punish, and do not be afraid of North Korean nuclear weapons, raised the level of remarks again today.



[President Yoon Seok-yeol/Defense Science Research Institute (this morning): In order to achieve peace, we must prepare for an overwhelmingly superior war.]



The former government also directly targeted North Korea policies centered on the Korean Peninsula peace process.



[President Yoon Seok-yeol: We must realize that not only can we not protect our peace and security with disguised peace, but even the foundation will collapse.] We will



set up a clear angle of confrontation with the Moon Jae-in government, and the military's readiness has been weakened because of that. I'm going to catch it.



After receiving the president's solemn message, the military started joint training in preparation for drone provocations for the first time in five years.



It was a training exercise in which all available resources such as helicopters, anti-aircraft weapons, and radar were used to make up for the gaps in which the Army and Air Force could not respond to small unmanned aerial vehicles.



The opposition party accused the president of promoting the risk of war by defining the president's series of hardline remarks against North Korea as a 'security arm'.



[Ahn Ho-young/Democratic Party Chief Spokesperson: People are anxious about irresponsible security arms.

It's not about scaring North Korea, it's just a trick to cover up the government's incompetence by scaring the people.]



It's saying that the president's security leadership and the military's capabilities are not being able to respond in a practical way to North Korea's provocations, and only raising the level of criticism with words to incite anxiety. At the same time, you can see that it has risen to the test.
