If North Korea were to fire its nuclear-tipped Rodung ballistic missile,... Seoul has 11
minutes and 15 seconds before impact. That was the warning bell sounded during a
seminar organized by the chair of the parliamentary's defense committee Yoo Seong-min on Wednesday.
While Defense Minister Kim Kwan-jin expressed confidence during the meeting in the ability
of the Korea Missile Defense and 'Kill Chain' systems to deter North Korean missile threats,...
weapons experts called for changes. Representative Yoo stressed... that South
Korea needs to improve its capabilities by adopting the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense
system and Standard Missile 3 system,... which can effectively intercept both long-range...
and short-to intermediate-range ballistic missiles.
