The interception system will form a key part of South Korea's anti-missile programme, which includes the Patriot Advanced Capability-3 missile and the Cheongung II, a medium-range surface-to-air missile. The reveal is a clear sign South Korea is advancing its defense technology as the nation steps up efforts to combat North Korea's growing missile threats.
