SOUTH KOREA’S ARTILLERY INTERCEPTION SYSTEM

July 28, 2021

South Korea has approved plans to develop an artillery interception system, similar to Israel’s Iron Dome.

About:

This new defence system will be designed and built specifically to thwart attacks by rockets and long-range missiles launched by North Korea.
The South Korean government had announced in June that it would be spending approximately $2.5 billion on research and development of this new system, with a target to deploy it by 2035.
North Korea deploys around 1,000 artillery pieces along the Military Demarcation Line that divides the Korean Peninsula.
