"Yonhap news agency later said South Korea’s military fired about 100 shots but failed to shoot any down." That's not good.

It also indicates they were warning shots. Regardless, using kinetic ammunition against a small, agile aerial target is not easy. 100 shots is about 2 seconds worth of fire....if that. If they really needed to take these down, they would saturate the airspace with lead, or fire any form of ordinance with tracking.

Bbbrrrrrrrrrrp. Thank you for expressing that 100 shots is about 2 seconds of blast.

These 100 shots were fired from a fighter jet, nobody hunts birds with a fighter jet.
