THAAD missile defense system intended to intercept North Korean missiles
(Infowars) – South Korea has suspended the deployment of a US missile defense system intended to protect the country from North Korea.
The decision, made by South Korea’s newly elected president Moon Jae-in, was confirmed by a senior official in Seoul Wednesday who stated that although two previously-installed launchers of the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) system would remain, four others would not be deployed until an environmental impact assessment was completed.
“We won’ t do anything to (the two launchers) already deployed, but when it comes to the additional deployment (of four launchers) , we have to wait for the environmental impact assessment, ” the official said.
The THAAD system is designed to locate and destroy short and medium-range missiles as they enter the final stages of flight.
