I think the South Koren pilot screwed up. The North Koreans I think just wanted to show the USA and Soth Korea they can reach them.
The flew through the US THADD ant aircraft system without even being challenged.
Honestly I think Russia put them up to it, just to show what could be done. And that the Patriot system is out of date.
Patriot missiles are waste against drones. An attack drone can cost $20,000. A single Patriot missile costs $4 million.

Can't understand the ineptness of the South Korean pilots without more intel. Right now I'm SMH.

Either:
1. the drones are so small they can't see them or lock them up
2. Drones are so maneuverable that they can break lock and/or evade A/A missiles and gunfire.

3. The South Koreans are woefully under-trained in live fire.

I'm going with 3. without more info.

Good points. Also add that drones are small and slow. They won’t show up on radar, no heat, low sound.

Therefore, they have to be visually observed From either the ground or air. Current jet aircraft fly too fast to see the small target and then be able to shoot it with projectile ammo.

The best air defense platform to defeat attack drones will be other drones. Or you could put together a single engine propeller fighter group to constantly patrol and kill drones. The return of the bi-plane Might be necessary.
