In order to counter the growing nuclear threat from North Korea in the Korean Peninsula, the US is expected to deploy an unmanned aircraft system to South Korea, Yonhap News Agency reported Monday, citing a Seoul military official.
The attack drone will be deployed to strengthen strike capabilities against ground targets in the North, the official told the South Korean news agency.
The Gray Eagle aircraft will be deployed to a US military base in the southwestern town of Gunsan — about 111 miles south of Seoul, the report said.
However, it is still unclear when the system will be installed.
The Gray Eagle is capable of striking military facilities in the north of the Military Demarcation Line separating the two Koreas, the official told Yonhap. The aircraft can operate at an altitude of up to 29,000 feet and can carry four Hellfire air-to-surface missiles.
