South Korea has begun deploying an advanced anti-drone system to better tackle North Korean unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) incursions, Seoul’s ruling party lawmaker Kang Dae-sik’s office confirmed to NK News on Friday.
A document Kang’s office provided to NK News shows that the South Korean military’s failure to promptly respond to North Korea’s drone incursion into the ROK airspace in Dec. 2022 triggered the emergency procurement of the system from local defense conglomerate Hanhwa Systems.
