On December 26, a shocking scene occurred on the Korean peninsula. Five North Korean small drones swaggered deep into South Korean airspace. South Korea then dispatched 20 fighter jets to intercept. The final result was that the North Korean drone retreated unscathed after wandering in South Korean airspace for 5 hours, while South Korea crashed a fighter plane.

According to South Korean media reports, five North Korean drones crossed the military demarcation line between South Korea and North Korea one after another on the morning of December 26 and entered South Korean airspace for five hours. Four of the drones lingered in Paju, Gimpo, and Ganghwa Island in Incheon, Gyeonggi Province, and one flew to the northern part of Seoul, as if entering an uninhabited land. Sources pointed out that a North Korean drone that entered downtown Seoul may have successfully photographed the South Korean President's Office in Yongsan District, which made the South Korean government extremely angry.

In order to intercept North Korean drones, South Korea successively dispatched 20 military aircraft, including fighter jets such as F-15K and KF-16, as well as attack helicopters such as Apache and Cobra, to intercept. The attack helicopters fired more than 100 20mm shells at the North Korean drones, but failed to shoot them down. After being intercepted by South Korean military aircraft, the North Korean drones did not immediately turn around and escape, but continued to penetrate deep into South Korean airspace. One of the drones also penetrated deep into the air defense circle of Seoul, South Korea.

Because North Korea dispatches small drones, these drones not only fly slowly but also fly at a low altitude, which brings huge difficulties to South Korea's detection and interception work. The minimum flight speed of the F-15K and FK-16 fighter jets dispatched by the South Korean Air Force is much higher than that of North Korean drones. The effect of intercepting low-speed drones is not ideal, and if you are not careful, the aircraft will crash and people will be killed. After supersonic fighters and attack helicopters were unable to effectively intercept North Korean drones, the South Korean Air Force immediately dispatched the KA-1 light attack aircraft. This attack aircraft is equipped with an piston engine , has a slower flying speed, and is equipped with a 12.7mm machine gun and 70mm rockets, which can effectively deal with North Korea's small drones.

However, the KA-1 attack aircraft crashed in a farmland in Hengseong County, Gangwon Province, about 140 kilometers east of Seoul shortly after taking off from the Air Force Base in Wonju City, South Korea. The two people on board successfully escaped. The South Korean military did not disclose the cause of the crash. It only stated that the two pilots were currently conscious and had been sent to a nearby hospital for treatment.

Although the South Korean military conducted intensive interceptions that day, the North Korean drones finally escaped and all returned to North Korean airspace. In this regard, some media pointed out that due to the slow flight speed and small size of North Korean drones, it is difficult for South Korea's radar to conduct real-time tracking and monitoring. Therefore, the South Korean military has been unable to accurately grasp the flight trajectory of North Korean drones from beginning to end, which has brought great difficulties to the interception work.

Regarding the intrusion of North Korean drones, South Korean President Yin Xiyue stated at the State Council meeting that he planned to create a combat unit specializing in tracking North Korean drones near the military demarcation line to assist in monitoring and reconnaissance of South Korea's military situation to avoid the recurrence of such incidents. The South Korean military also publicly apologized to all South Korean people for this, admitting that the military's response capabilities are indeed insufficient, and promised to form a drone force as soon as possible in the future to guard against the threat of North Korean drones.

However, just one day after the invasion of North Korean drones, a North Korean drone was observed on Seimao Island, Ganghwa County, South Korea, on December 27. The county urgently sent an alert to the public. However, the South Korean military stated that the abnormal air conditions that occurred on the 27th were not caused by North Korean drones. According to preliminary research, they were caused by the activities of a flock of birds.

In the face of extremely low-tech North Korean drones, the South Korean military, equipped with many advanced American fighter aircraft, was at a loss. Not only did it watch the North Korean aircraft "hang out" in South Korean airspace for several hours, but it also self-destructed a fighter plane. It can be seen that there are great flaws in the combat capabilities of the South Korean Air Force and the air defense circle of the South Korean capital. If this had happened during wartime, then the South Korean Presidential Palace might have been taken over by North Korean drones long ago, which is really shocking.

This shows that the real combat power of the South Korean army, which has a lot of advanced equipment, cannot be flattered. I am afraid that only the South Korean army can think of birds as drones. This also shows that the South Korean army has reached the point where the grass and trees are all soldiers.

Next, North Korean drones may fly into South Korean airspace. If the South Korean army cannot effectively intercept them, it will really be a complete slap in the face.
