▲ Tracks of North Korean drones submitted to the National Assembly by the Joint Chiefs of Staff
When a North Korean drone invaded our airspace last month, he admitted that situation sharing and cooperation were not properly done within the military.
The Joint Chiefs of Staff explained today (8th) that "there was a lack of cooperation and sharing of the situation between the 1st corps (which first detected the drone) and the defenders."
Previously, on the 26th of last month, when the North Korean drone invaded, the radar of our forward troops was detected for the first time, and even though the drone was heading to Seoul, criticism was raised that related information was not immediately delivered to the Capital Defense Command guarding Seoul.
The Joint Chiefs of Staff also admitted that it took more than an hour and a half from the process of responding to North Korean drones to the issuance of a 'crowned crane' response posture.
At the same time, he said, "Even before the issuance of the crane, our military judged the unknown flight to the south as a North Korean drone and was implementing necessary operational measures, such as strengthening anti-aircraft surveillance, emergency deployment of air power, and ground air defense weapons on standby."
The Joint Chiefs of Staff also explained the point that the North Korean drone was not recognized until six minutes after it was initially detected on radar.
The Joint Chiefs of Staff said, "A 1st corps radar operator first caught and tracked an unknown track in North Korea at 10:19. reported," he said.
