US to deploy THAAD missiles to South Korea in 10 months US to deploy THAAD missiles to South Korea in 10 months The US military says it will deploy its Terminal High-Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) system to South Korea within eight to 10 months. Vincent Brooks, the commander of US forces in South Korea, made the remarks in an interview with the Yonhap news agency on Friday. Brooks said the missile deployment on the Korean Peninsula would have a deterrent effect against what he called North Korean provocations, according to the agency. He also said the THAAD anti-missile system battery would be bigger than one deployed in Guam, an American territory in the western Pacific Ocean. US and South Korean governments are reportedly also discussing for the deployment of rotating strategic weapons onto the Korean Peninsula as deterrence. The United States and South Korea have agreed to deploy the THAAD system in the Southeast Asian country to protect it against North Korean threats. China, North Korea’s main ally, is strongly opposed to the plan, but has expressed its anger over North Korea’s repeated missile and nuclear tests in the region. Pyongyang says the tests aim to protect itself from the US military, which occasionally deploys nuclear-powered warships and aircraft capable of carrying atomic weapons in the region. North Korea has been at odds with the South since the end of the Korean War of the early 1950s. An armistice ended all military hostilities between the two Koreas back then, but no peace deal ever ensued, meaning that, while the two countries are not at war, they are not at peace, either. Although the US has a record of sending advanced weaponry to the Korean Peninsula amid heightened tensions between the two neighbors, such flights near the world’s most heavily fortified border are unusual. In September, two US B-1B strategic bombers flew over South Korea and then approached North Korea’s border, according to US officials. South Korean media reported that both bombers flew over a front-line US firing range located about 30 kilometers (19 miles) from the border. One of the nuclear-capable supersonic bombers landed at Osan Air Base, near Seoul, the capital of South Korea — a first in two decades. The four-engine bomber will stay at the base for an unspecified period of time.

ABD ordusunun Güney Kore’ye kurduğu Terminal Yüksek İrtifa Alan Savunması (THAAD) füze savar sisteminin ilk çalışma kabiliyetine ulaştığı duyuruldu. Hem bölge halkını hem de çevre ülkeleri öfkelendiren tartışmalı füze sistemlerinin faaliyete geçtiğini canlı yayında açıklayan Güney Kore Savunma Bakanlığı Sözcüsü Moon Sang Gyun, “Terminal Yüksek İrtifa Alan Savunması’nın (THAAD), mevcut teçhizatı kullanarak Kuzey Kore’nin nükleer ve füze tehdidine cevap verebilecek kapasiteye sahip olduğunu teyit ediyorum” diye kaydetti. Bu arada Seongju kasabası sakinleri, füze savunma sisteminin kurulumuna karşı çıkıyor ve sık sık polisle çatışıyor. Bölge sakinleri, Kuzey Kore’nin bu sistemlerden ötürü kendilerini hedef almasından endişe ediyor. Öte yandan, konu ile ilgili açıklama yapan Çin Dışişleri Bakanlığı Sözcüsü Gıng Şuang, başkent Pekin'de düzenlediği olağan basın toplantısında Pekin yönetiminin, THAAD'ın Güney Kore'de mevzilendirilmesine karşı çıktığını ve bu konuda tutumunun net olduğunu ifade etti. Amerikan ordusuna ait dünya genelinde 6 THAAD bataryası bulunuyor. Sistemin amacı, atmosferin içinde ya da dışında, son uçuş aşamasındaki balistik füzeye kilitlenerek yok etmek. Şu ana kadar herhangi bir savaşta kullanılmayan THAAD’ın füze saldırılarına karşı koyma kapasitesi henüz bilinmiyor. QHA
