South Korea Revives Request for Patriot Interceptors

July 5, 2005 :: AFP :: News

South Korea intends to buy Patriot interceptor missiles to defend against North Korea, reports the AFP. South Korea hopes to phase out its aging arsenal of Nike surface-to-air missiles beginning in 2006, replacing them with new Patriots purchased from either the U.S., or second-hand ones from Germany. In 2000, Seoul came close to buying 48 Patriots from the U.S., but ultimately cancelled the purchase.
        The article does not specify whether Seoul intends to purchase the PAC-2 or the upgraded PAC-3.  (Article)
