A drone suspected to be from North Korea had taken aerial photos of the US THAAD anti-missile defence site in South Korea before it crashed on its way back.

Seoul’s Defence Ministry said Tuesday investigators discovered hundreds of photos from the drone’s Sony-made in-built camera.

The ministry said they include 10 photos of the Terminal High Altitude Area Defence missile launchers and a radar system installed in the southeastern town of Seongju earlier this year. It says the rest are mostly photos of residential areas, farming fields and other less-sensitive areas in the South.

Jimbrown,

That's funny, however, I don't really believe North Korean weapons run on rubber bands. This is a very tough military power.

If we had to go to hot war with them, we may well "win" but it would be extremely pyric. The American mainland will almost certainly not be spared much death and destruction AND this is assuming we actually "win" which is by no means certain and may not even be probable.

While we may ultimately need to go to war with them, careful thought and sober consideration will need to be given before doing so. Underestimating an adversary or potential adversary will almost certainly end badly.
