Yin Xiyue said in a speech on Tuesday that the previous government has not been in place to deal with drones from 2017 and has not even trained.
(Seoul Composite Electric) North Korea's drone crossing the border into South Korea's leading leadership has led to the continued upgrade of tensions between the two countries.

Yin Xiyue said on Tuesday (December 27) in Parliament that the North Korean drone invaded South Korean airspace to explain that the defense capabilities and training of the South Korean army in the past few years must be insufficient and must be strengthened.
He emphasized that the previous government's ability to respond and combat power to drones from 2017 was not in place, and no training was not even conducted.Yin Xiyue also blamed insufficient defense on the policy of relying on the release of goodwill to the DPRK, as well as the 2018 military agreement, saying that it was extremely dangerous.The 1991 military agreement signed in 2018 banned drones from flying to the Korean Peninsula's military division line 10 kilometers west.
Yin Xiyue said that the government had previously planned to create the drone forces to monitor and reconnaissance North Korea's major military facilities.Realize the invisibility of drones and strengthen surveillance and reconnaissance.
He also pointed out that in the 2023 military budget to deal with the provocation of the drone, he was cut by 50%in Congress. He will once again convince Congress to increase the budget to strengthen the defense capabilities.
Five North Korean drones, on Monday morning, entered South Korea to lead the air, flying for more than five hours, and one of them even flew over Seoul.The Korean side sent fighters to launch more than 100 artillery shells, not only failed to hit the target, a fighter also crashed, causing the Korean side to be embarrassed.South Korea's public opinion generally believes that South Korea's defense has loopholes.

Jiang Xinzhe, the Minister of Combat Battle of South Korea ’s joint staff headquarters, said at the briefing:“ The Korean army ’s ability to detect and strike for a small drone for reconnaissance with less than three meters is limited ... Because the military response is insufficient, it makes the people feel that the people feelI am very worried. In this regard, the military will strengthen the ability of drones in the future. "
Che Douyi of the Institute of Policy of South Korea believes that although the North Korean drone that has entered South Korea ’s airspace is small and cannot perform comprehensive reconnaissance tasks, it is still possible to carry weapons or disturb aviation transportation.
