First elements of THAAD system arrive in South Korea

摘要

The first elements for a battery of the US Army's Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) system have been deployed to South Korea. Video footage published by US Forces Korea (USFK) showed a Boeing C-17 Globemaster Ⅲ airlifter delivering two Oshkosh Defense HEMTT-based truck-mounted launchers at Osan Air Base in Pyeongtaek, 70 km south of Seoul, on 6 March, which was the same day North Korea test-fired four ballistic missiles into the Sea of Japan.
