"Now our defense cannot be broken through": South Korea has completed the development of the L-SAM anti-aircraft system

On November 29, a ceremony was held in South Korea to mark the completion of work on the new L-SAM long-range anti-aircraft system.

Even if North Korea tries to arrange rocket provocation, then now it will not be able to break through our reliable defense system. It will have to pay a high price

- said Defense Minister Kim Yong Hyun.

The L-SAM system is designed to intercept targets at altitudes above 40 km, and its range is estimated at 50 to 60 km. It consists of an early warning and target tracking radar, a mobile launcher, and interceptor missiles capable of neutralizing threats in the middle or final stages of flight.

The complex is integrated into a multi-level architecture Defense countries alongside existing systems such as Patriot and M-SAM II, and will play a central role in KAMD – the “Korea Air and Missile Defense System.”

The L-SAM is expected to enter production next year, with deployment in the South Korean military planned for the mid- to late 2020s.

In addition, South Korea is developing a version of the L-SAM Block-II designed to intercept targets at high altitudes.

Development of the L-SAM system began in 2015 as part of South Korea's ambitious program to enhance air defense capabilities by using exclusively indigenous technologies. Prototypes were manufactured for initial testing in 2019, and target interception tests have been underway since 2020.

Blessed are those who believe.
"Korean" Kinzhals and Oreshniki will scatter all of Seoul's air defense into the bushes.

I like the comparison - the serious, focused faces of the South Korean military (I've heard similar statements on TV) and Kim's open face.
So which one of them is afraid?

[oleg-nekrasov-19]

..........that's pretty much how he smiled

6 TPK on PU - you'll get tired of reloading the launcher, I think on average an hour
and how many charging machines per battery - 1
and how many PUs are in the battery - 3 more will not be able to handle the TZM
the radar channel is no longer important because after the first 18 missiles have been fired, it then takes an hour to reload the first launcher
and the flight time of the Iskander OTRK missileЭ at a range of 300 km (RCRT) = 2 minutes

One old lady told me that all thermonuclear charges from the DPRK to the South Korea were delivered underground, the button is on Kim Jong-un’s desk, and the second one is in his pocket.

[Romario_Argo]

yeah, even on SVO they actively use Mole
2-3 days tunnel 5 km under all fortifications of the Ukrainian Armed Forces - ready
horizontal auger drilling - called

Kim has about 14 decent caliber guns on the demarcation line. One salvo would wipe out half of Seoul in a matter of seconds. The death toll is estimated at over a million. L-SAM, you say, well, well...

[kventinasd]

Too loud a statement. Thousands of artillery barrels of North Korea aimed at Seoul will leave no stone unturned from this city and no air defense or missile defense will save it.

Any defense can be broken through... the question is who will put in more effort and resourcefulness, the attacker or the defender.

[Romario_Argo]

Any defense can be broken through

I agree,
Over there, near Kursk, they broke through an entire S-8 division with 400 Atakms missiles
It would seem that the Pantsir Ash air defense missile and gun system with 4 target control channels is covered
S-400 has RPN 92N6 only fires like a machine gun - 72 channels
Moreover, it has a radio horizon for low-flying targets of 20 km, and with the 40V6MD tower, 43 km
- Oh no - the 8th missile was missed

[nik-mazur]

8 Atakms missiles penetrated an entire S-400 division... oh no - the 8th missile was missed

And this one missile, apparently, destroyed: from 8 to 12 transport and launch units, a radar complex, a multifunctional radar and a combat control point. Because this is what the basic composition of the S-400 SAM division looks like.
So, this... cut back on the sturgeon, otherwise it smells too much like a CIPS victory.

[Romario_Argo]

but apparently I just chose the wrong words

[rocket757]

So it is often more difficult to defend... we have exactly this situation with air defense!!!
There are more means of attack, and more difficult targets. With the right skills, the use of new technologies, especially with a trick that has not been encountered before, you can achieve your goal!
Of course, the means of influence are not standing still either, development and modernization are taking place in all directions, but... and in this case, the means of attack are ahead, at least for some time.
Also, to top it off... we have to do a lot of things in general and air defense systems are only part of what is most necessary!!! There simply isn't enough time and strength, resources for everything!!!

[Romario_Argo]

The S-350 has been in serial production for 2 years now, but the Ministry of Defense has not announced where the divisions will be deployed

[rocket757]

Each air defense system has its place and time... and yes, they are never superfluous.

[Lech from Android.]

How will the L-SAM system repel a salvo of hundreds of Un's long-range guns?
The overload of South Korean air defenses will be critical.
Dreamers.

[Graz]

If the primitive hypersonic weapons of the Houthis of Iranian origin periodically broke through Israeli systems of all classes, then what are the South Koreans quacking about?

[Zaurbek]

That is, the analogue of the Iskander missile system will not be able to hit the air defense missile system with known coordinates?

[Joker62]

Even intercepts 155mm artillery shells???
Shells are not missiles, and it is simply impossible to intercept them.
As for missiles, perhaps only simple ones, but not hypersonic ones.

How invincible!
Any defense can be broken. It all depends on the assigned forces and resources.
What worked in training will not necessarily be repeated in life.

[sgrabik]

Everyone says this at first, but in reality it can be completely different.

[Hiller]

As the ancients said: "Do not boast when going to battle, but boast when going from battle." Time will tell.

Tyuuu! Don't say hop!

Zelensky, wrap everything up and send yourself the bill

The L-SAM complex is designed to intercept targets at an altitude of over 40 km, and its range is estimated at 50 to 60 km.

And the Koreans still haven’t mastered the vertical start, judging by the video.

[501 Legion]

Using the example of the Zionists and the Russian Federation, everyone has seen for a long time that there are no insurmountable air defense systems

[Brother Fox_2]

Lavrov's expression goes)))
The number one enemy for the southerners is the DPRK, they have deployed LONG-RANGE artillery, the entire south is in the zone of destruction, and this ultra-modern ash-tank is absolutely useless!
