South Korea showcases missiles, drones and tanks in rare military parade

By Mohiuddin HossenPublished 2 years ago 1 min read

As of my last knowledge update in September 2021, South Korea has been actively developing and showcasing its missile capabilities as part of its national defense strategy. South Korea has a significant defense industry, and it has developed a range of missile systems for various purposes, including deterrence and defense against potential threats from North Korea.

Some notable missile systems that South Korea has developed or showcased include:

1. **Hyunmoo Missiles**: South Korea has developed a series of Hyunmoo ballistic and cruise missiles with different ranges. The Hyunmoo-2B, for example, has a range of around 500 kilometers and is capable of precision strikes against various targets.

2. **Hyunmoo-4**: This is an extended-range ballistic missile system capable of reaching targets at a distance of up to 800 kilometers. It provides South Korea with an extended strike capability.

3. **L-SAM**: South Korea has developed the L-SAM (Long-Range Surface-to-Air Missile) system for air defense purposes. It is designed to intercept and destroy incoming missiles and aircraft.

4. **Taurus Missile**: While not a South Korean development, South Korea has purchased the Taurus KEPD 350 cruise missile from Germany. It is a long-range air-to-ground missile used for precision strikes.

5. **Submarine-Launched Ballistic Missiles (SLBMs)**: South Korea has been working on developing its own SLBM technology, which would give it a more robust second-strike capability in case of a conflict.

It's worth noting that the security situation on the Korean Peninsula is complex, with ongoing tensions between South Korea and North Korea. South Korea's missile developments are often seen as a response to potential threats from the North.

Since my information is not up-to-date, I recommend checking the latest news sources for any recent developments regarding South Korea's missile showcases or advancements in its missile capabilities. Please be aware that the situation may have evolved since my last knowledge update.
