None

South Korea plans to buy two Israeli early warning radar systems, it said on Tuesday, as it reinforces air defences against North Korea despite fast-improving relations.

 

The decision to adopt the two Green Pine Block C radar systems, built by ELTA Systems, a subsidiary of state-owned Israel Aerospace Industries, was made at a defence acquisition committee, Seoul's arms procurement agency, DAPA, said.
