North Korea has deployed some ten thousand long-range artillery and launchers along the military demarcation line. They pose an immediate threat to Seoul, which is just 50 kilometers away. To counter the threat, the South Korean military has been developing a defense system.

A missile soars into the sky amid flames. A few moments later, it produces a flash of light. This is the Israeli air defense system Iron Dome, which can strike short-range missiles and cannons. The dome-shaped virtual defense system boasts the accuracy rate of 90 percent. The South Korean military has announced that it has been developing its own Iron Dome...to counter the threat posed by some ten thousand self-propelled cannons installed along the military demarcation line. The 170-millimeter self-propelled cannons and 240-millimeter and 300-millimeter multiple-rocket launchers have the firing range of up to 200 kilometers, which is long enough to reach the South Korean capital.

[Soundbite] Jeong Kyeong-doo (Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman) : "We are doing our best to counter North Korea's threats posed by its nuclear weapons, weapons of mass destruction, multiple rocket launchers and cyber attacks and eliminate public concerns regarding national security."

The military plans to further bolster the Kill Chain preemptive strike system by developing unmanned air vehicles in order to minimize damage. Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Jeong Kyeong-doo announced that the military is devising a new operational plan in an apparent reference to concerns over a possible leak of South Korea's operational plan during North Korea's hacking attack on the South's defense network last year. Jeong said that although the Mutual Defense Treaty between the Republic of Korea and the United States does not include a stipulation on the U.S. forces' intervention in case of war on the Korean Peninsula, he is sure that the United States will intervene immediately in line with its pledge to defend South Korea.
