“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 apologized for its failure to shoot down the drones, which it said were too small to easily intercept, measuring about 3 meters . Both devices were deemed crude, mounted with cameras that mostly contained images of South Korean military facilities and border regions. 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.
