South Korea’s army warned it would be quick in completely obliterating the hermit kingdom’s front-line artillery systems if war were to break out on the peninsula.
And military chiefs are pushing for a “three-axis” defence platform against the North’s threats and provocations – the Kill Chain pre-emptive strike system, the Korean Air and Missile Defense (KAMD), and the Korea Massive Punishment and Retaliation (KMPR) scheme.
In a report to the National Assembly, army chiefs presented their three-tier missile strike concept that could be deployed in the early stage of an armed conflict.
The weapon that would first be mobilised is a tactical surface-to-surface missile, called KTSSM and known as artillery killer.
In a statement to the Assembly, bosses said: “KTSSM-I will strike the enemy’s tunnels with the 170-mm self-propelled howitzers and 240-mm multiple-rocket launch systems.”
KTSSM-II could then be used to bomb SCUD missile facilities and North Korea’s 300-mm rocket launchers.
The Army also plans to fire Hyunmoo-II ballistic missiles against the North’s nuclear and other WMD systems and supporting units.
Then, to take the North’s leadership out, the army is seeking to acquire more powerful ballistic missiles – tentatively named the Hyunmoo-IV.
