South Korea has found three drones that are suspected to come from North Korea. While the drones did not have any immediate danger attached to them, they did have cameras installed to their undersides. The cameras were reported as looking like digital cameras that one could buy at Best Buy. Two of the drone's camera pictures were recovered but South Korean officials, but one of the cameras was taken by a man who wanted to keep it for himself.. so he deleted all of the pictures taken. On the pictures that were recovered, South Korean military bases looked to the main target for these drones. Luckily, the drones were not able to process the pictures back to North Korea in real time. A weapons analyst examined the drones and reported that the drones were not made to go on long distance missions and would not be able to carry that much weaponry on them. They were painted light blue in order to blend in with the sky, but they were located and brought down.
Honestly, I think that this was a big mistake by the North Koreans. Now, South Korea and the US know that they are watching them and they are not going to take this lightly, obviously because North Korea is a loose canon. It scares me, just a bit, that they are watching and that they have a vendetta against us... but, I don't think it would be worth it for them to wage a war with the US and South Korea.
