1. Font used on the drone
The used font is similar to ‘Hancom Batangche,’ commonly used in South Korea, not in North Korea.
Objection
“Hangul and Computer” is also in North Korea. South Korea provided it to North Korea when they cooperated in the past.

2. Flight range of the drone
The estimated flight range from North Korea to Blue House is about 100 km (round-trip). Can it fly that far?
Objection
A drone manufacturer said that the fuel efficiency is about 2.7 L per hour, and the estimated velocity is 100~120 km/h. The fuel capacity of the drone is about 4.97 L, so it had enough fuel to make the trip. Also, it would have not needed abrupt motions, so the fuel efficiency may be even higher.

3. Resolution of the photo taken by the drone
The photo taken by the drone has a poorer resolution than the one provided Google earth. Why would North Korea put efforts to obtain such a seemingly futile outcome?
Objection
The satellite photo in Google earth is from more than 2 years ago. Because of security, the photos of strategically important places are not renewed often and do not have much accuracy. However, for military purposes, renewal of the data is much important than having better resolution.

4. Clean
Drones are too clean. Fuel used in drone makes much soot. Also, fallen drones are too unscathed.
Objection
An exhaust pipe head to upperside, so most of exhaust emission isn’t stank to drone. Also, drone in Paju used parachute, so it fell very slowly and fall in rice paddy(First reporter watch it). Drone in Baeknyoungdo was broken hardly. Landing gear and wings are almost broken.

5. Possibility of Civilian Action
The drones found in Paju and in Baeknyoungdo have different models. Could they be just made by civilians and invaded the restricted area accidentally?
Objection
The drone found in Samcheok is the same as the one found in Paju; there is a numbering on each drone that suggests mass production of the drones. Also, the drone is decorated sky-blue and cloud-shapes, possibly for camouflage purposes.
