On the morning of the 29th, President Yoon visited the Defense Science Research Institute in Daejeon along with military leaders, including Minister of National Defense Lee Jong-seop.
Regarding the infiltration of North Korean drones, we reviewed the South Korean military's surveillance, reconnaissance and interception systems, and the current status of domestic weapon system development.
President Yoon said at this meeting, "We must realize that provocations must come with a severe price." "Only firm punishment and retaliation for acts that violate our freedom can deter provocations."
"Whether the other side has nuclear weapons or weapons of mass destruction, we must give a clear message to those who provocate, and we must not be afraid or hesitant," he reiterated yesterday's remarks about not being afraid of North Korea's nuclear weapons.
In particular, he said, "In order to achieve peace, we must prepare for an overwhelmingly superior war," suggesting the strengthening of military capabilities through various exercises as well as drone power in the future.
President Yoon is ordering strengthened preparedness in a strong tone every day regarding the infiltration of North Korean drones.
Yesterday, at a meeting with the staff of the Presidential Office, he said, "We must certainly punish and retaliate against any provocation by North Korea."
It is an analysis that it is unusual for the president to directly mention the North Korean nuclear issue and order reinforcement of preparedness.
