S. Korea to Purchase US Spy Aircraft
The Defense Ministry has officially requested the United States sell its high-altitude, long-range surveillance aircraft as part of its mid to long-term arms acquisition plan, ministry officials said Tuesday.
The request was made at a subpanel session of an annual defense ministerial meeting between South Korea and the U.S., called the Security Consultative Meeting (SCM), in Hawaii last month, officials said. The two allies are scheduled to hold the SCM in October.
The South Korean delegates asked the U.S. to consider selling its Global Hawks, high-flying unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), during the sub-panel session, adding that the U.S. has yet to make any official response.
