According to reports from South Korean news sources, the country has successfully tested its latest air defense systems in response to recent North Korean aggression.
According to military officials, South Korea has successfully tested its cutting-edge Long-range Surface-to-Air Missile missile interception system. A crucial component of the country's envisioned layered missile defense shield known as the Korea Air and Missile Defense intended to counter advancing threats from North Korea.
A kill vehicle with a divert and attitude control system is utilized by the anti-ballistic missile defense system to provide movement during the terminal phase of the engagement. The kill vehicle interceptors are believed to have a range of about 90 miles and are designed to eliminate high-speed ballistic targets at great heights, up to between 25 miles and 60 miles .
Thanks to two different missile types—one for taking out airplanes and other air-breathing threats and another for destroying ballistic missiles—the L-SAM can take on various aerial threats.According to unnamed military officials quoted by South, the L-SAM successfully intercepted a target. However, no information was released regarding the test's timing, location, or the type of target that was obliterated.
The government-run Agency for Defense Development will finish the system's development by 2024, with mass production set to begin in 2026 and deployment as early as 2027.
