The Kurdish PKK has published a video of a guided missile attack on a Turkish army excavator in northern Iraq.
The cost of one rocket is more than 100 thousand dollars.
This still image of Korean Tactical Surface-to-Surface Missile (KTSSM) striking a maritime target was released by the Agency for Defense Development (ADD).
Although KTSSM was developed as surface-to-surface weapon against North Korean bunker complexes along the DMZ, this kind of test hints at a possible anti-ship application as an Anti-Ship Ballistic Missile (ASBM).
UAE defense officials will be in South Korea soon, reportedly to negotiate sales of Cheongung KM-SAM Block-II missile interceptor and Korean Tactical Surface-to-Surface Missile (KTSSM).
UAE forces have urgent need to increase its missile defense capability against short-range ballistic missile such as the SS-21 Scarab and SCUDs.
While UAE operates Patriot PAC-2 GEM-T and Patriot PAC-3 MSE, they are either no longer in production (former) or very costly (latter). In addition, Patriot batteries have poor mobility, making protection of forward-deployed units difficult. As such, UAE is said to be looking for a more cost-effective and more maneuverable solution.
KM-SAM Block-I and Block-II missiles are said to cost around 1/4~1/3 and 1/3~1/2 of Patriot PAC-3 MSE missiles, respectively. The lack of trailer also makes KM-SAM battery more mobile than the Patriot batteries, as testified by South Korean military (which operates both weapon system).
KM-SAM's Multifunction Radar (MFR), however, was not designed to oprate in hot desert condition. As such, its MFR had to be modified.
Back in 2019, UAE was reported to be interested in South Korea's KTSSM bunker-buster missile. Since then, that interest seems to have developed into an actual intent of purchase.
As an operator of K239 Chunmoo MLRS, UAE forces will be able to utilize existing platforms to launch KTSSM and engage hostile cave networks.
