According to Yonhap News Agency on the 26th, the South Korean Navy conducted a domestic suicide drone naval combat test in the southern waters of South Korea on the 25th. Both launches ended with the drone crashing into the sea. On the same day, the South Korean Navy test-flew a medium-sized suicide drone developed by the Korea Defense Science Research Institute aboard the amphibious assault ship “Maro Island.” According to the test plan, the drone took off from the deck of the “Maro Island” to carry out reconnaissance missions and track and strike an unmanned target boat moving at a high speed two kilometers away. The first drone tested crashed into the sea seconds after takeoff. South Korea's National Defense Science Research Institute used a second backup drone on the spot and reassembled for launch, but this drone also crashed a few seconds after takeoff. A relevant person in charge of Korea's National Defense Science Research Institute said that before carrying out maritime tests, the drone had completed more than 30 ground flight tests, and its performance was stable, but when the sea was windy and windy, shaking the hull may cause abnormal equipment parameter matching, causing the test flight to fail.
