ROK Army Drone Crashes into Helicopter on the Ground in Yangju
Another major accident from the ROK military that fortunately did not have anyone killed or injured:
An Army surveillance drone collided with a helicopter parked at an airfield just north of Seoul on Monday, but no casualties were reported, the Army said.
The collision took place as the Israeli-made Heron drone was attempting to land at the Army base in Yangju at about 1 p.m., sparking a fire that was extinguished in about 20 minutes, according to the Army.
No one was injured, but the drone and the helicopter, a Surion built by Korea Aerospace Industries Ltd., were completely destroyed by the fire, an Army official said.
The military has launched an investigation into the exact cause of the accident.

Is the airfield the former R-222 ROKA airstrip?
@152G, yes. https://aviapages.com/airport/rksd/
Was an airfield with no assigned aircraft, colocated with a non aviation ROK army post. Use to have to get out of aircraft and chase off local village kids to do emergency landing training.
