South Korea has begun installing the first part of its advanced indigenous Surface-to-Air Missile system.
Considered the South Korean equivalent to the U.S. Patriot system,... it's built to counter possible attacks from the North.
Lee Seung-jae reports.
South Korea has a number of different missile defense systems in place to defend against potential North Korean missile attacks.
THAAD defends against ballistic missiles at altitudes of 40 to 150 kilometers.
The Patriot missile defense system defends at up to 40 kilometers.
Now,... South Korea has begun installing its domestic missile defense system,... called 'Cheongung-II'.
The Surface to Air defense system can defend against medium-range missiles at an altitude of 15 to 20 kilometers.
Unlike the Patriot system,... which requires moving the launch vehicle to change the launch direction,... it can change direction by 360 degrees even after launch.
The system is the upgraded version of 'Cheongung-I',... and is equipped with a multifunction radar to strike aircraft and missiles simultaneously.
The Agency for Defense Development began the upgrade project in 2012,... and has since recorded a 100-percent accuracy rate during multiple test launches.
According to the agency's chief,... the deployment "is expected to contribute to establishing a Korean-style missile defense system, boosting the military’s core capabilities for a prompt transition of the wartime operational control."
With the first of the planned seven batteries to see service in the nation,... Seoul expects the system to get international approval.

I Love South Korea
Go..go.. Best country on earth to live on earth
So this are the Karbis with High Technologicalities.👍🏻
Agni Kashmir.👍🏻
So we can start pulling our system out? I mean there is a replacement right?
nope this is replacing old MIM-23 Hawk
US can pull them out. But what you fail to realize is the US missile system in Korea is for US defense. Any missile fired from China to US mainland will be first tracked and intercepted from THAAD missile system in S.Korea. This is why US has military base on all continents and big advantage over China.
S Korean government should always remember what Henry Kissinger said. "America has no permanent friends or enemies, only interests" good example what happened after US station THAAD in S Korea. Also during Vietnam war, Henry Kissinger said "It may be dangerous to be America's enemy, but to be America's friend is fatal" good example is why Israel rely on themselves for defense even with strong support from Washington and telling people that Washington is working for it's own interest because it's set up that way. Thus S Korea must build its own tactical nuclear weapons and nuclear submarines for its own defense. Alliance doesn't mean anything but just piece of paper to Washington.
South Koreans are happy the US stepped in. Look at South vs North progress
