Analyst Claims Recent ROK Air Force Accidents Caused By A Lack of Training Caused By Prior Presidential Administrations
It is hard for me to say that a lack of training caused the recent accident mishaps by the ROK Air Force like this defense analyst claims. Sometime accidents just happen and fortunately no one was killed unlike the U.S. Blackhawk helicopter that flew into a commercial airliner in Washington, D.C. After that crash no one claimed the U.S. military lacked training:
South Korea’s military has come under fire for lax discipline following a series of major accidents in recent months, including the latest involving the Air Force’s accidental dropping of two gun pods from a KA-1 light attack aircraft during training on Friday.
The series of incidents came amid a leadership vacuum in the military that began in December, prompting security concerns due to signs of a weakened defense posture. Former Defense Minister Kim Yong-hyun and several other key unit commanders were arrested and have been detained for their alleged roles in ex-President Yoon Suk Yeol’s botched martial law declaration on Dec. 3. Vice Defense Minister Kim Seon-ho is currently serving as the acting defense minister.
“On the surface, (the series of accidents) may seem to be merely a lack of discipline within the military, but it’s more an accumulation of inadequate military training,” said Yang Uk, a research fellow in military strategy and weapons systems at the Asan Institute of Policy Studies, speaking via phone on Sunday.
“It’s the result of inconsistency in military training, with the liberal Moon Jae-in administration having halted and scaled back several key drills and then the Yoon administration failing to revive the momentum of the exercises,” he said.

The comments about training are probably more ccp/nork agitprop.
ROK Military rotten with CCP sympathizers, spies, and those trapped in honey pots.
