Picture of the Day: Firing Drill Against Illegal Chinese Fishing Boats

Firing drill against violent Chinese fishing boats

The Incheon Coast Guard conducts a firing drill against violent Chinese fishermen and boats catching fish illegally in the South Korean waters off Incheon, west of Seoul, on Oct. 13, 2016. Six patrol boats joined the drill, which followed the government’s recent decision to use force and firearms against violence by illegal Chinese fishermen. The stern measure came about after a Coast Guard speedboat was sunken by a Chinese boat which rear-ended it in defiance of a crackdown on illegal fishing inside the South Korean waters on Oct. 7.

“PICTURE OF THE DAY: FIRING DRILL AGAINST ILLEGAL CHINESE FISHING BOATS”

No wonder the Chinese are unafraid. Firing a gun is threatening… but firing a drill? Are they going to hang a picture on the side of the Chinese boats?

“Six patrol boats joined the drill”

It took six patrol boats to transport one drill? I could swim with that in my hand.

“The stern measure came about after a Coast Guard speedboat was sunken by a Chinese boat”

Why would they measure the stern? All ship dimensions are on the blueprints. This seems like a waste of time.

I find the Korean response with power tools and measuring tape to be structurally ineffective.
