Sources suggest that South Korea tested the L-SAM, its most modern and effective anti-missile defense system, as a preventative measure against any assaults made against them.
After a recent strike by the North that focused on the conflict between the two countries, tensions between the North and South Koreans are rising.
L-SAM Anti-Missile Defense System
With the help of the cutting-edge L-SAM Anti-Missile Defense System, the United States will be able to respond to threats from North Korea more effectively and defend itself against them.
A new armament system has reportedly been installed to protect the nation’s airspace against North Korean threats, according to news organizations and media in South Korea. The Long-Range Surface Air Missile (L-SAM) Anti-Ballistic Missile Defense System is an addition to the nation’s present aerial defense system.
According to reports, this is retaliation to North Korea’s most recent attack, in which it launched 23 missiles at South Korea, breaking its previous record for most missiles launched against the Republic.
The L-capabilities SAMs and features for military defense in the airspace are demonstrated in a video that the state-run Yonhap News also released.
South Korea vs. North Korea
Although South Korea is best regarded as being a democratic nation, its neighbors and fellow citizens on the other side of the inter-Korean border are not treated kindly by the government.
Even while South Korea rarely starts hostilities, it is still prepared for any form of attack, especially if it threatens the security of its people or its territory.
The Korean Peninsula continues to see a divide from either side’s administration as both display aggressiveness toward one another and retaliate to every attack, and the tension between North and South Korea shows no signs of abating.
While prior attacks showed missiles and artillery rounds being hurled against both sides, the recent tension around its renowned demilitarized zone (DMZ) had both sides shooting warning shots at one another.
Due to the lengthy history of split on either side of the Peninsula, both sides use these episodes to demonstrate their respective countries’ might and dominance.
The South Koreans are well recognized for collaborating with the United States on defense and military developments, and they also host the renowned THAAD missile system in their nation.
However, China felt frightened by this development and alliance and urged South Korea not to increase its stock of weaponry. Given North Korea’s continued isolation from the outside world and the media, military advancements are essential for both parties.
The only way North Korea can survive is to put its best defense forward, anticipate the worst, and implement preventative measures to safeguard its side and populace.
