A South Korean-made Cheongung II medium-range surface-to-air missile system reportedly carried out its first recorded combat interception in the United Arab Emirates as Iranian missile strikes swept across the region following U.S. and Israeli operations against Iran. Emirati air defenses activated during the launch wave, and the M-SAM II system engaged one of the incoming ballistic threats. The intercept marks the first time a South Korean-developed air defense platform has successfully engaged a real combat target, providing an early operational test of a system that has been exported to multiple Middle Eastern partners as part of Seoul’s expanding defense industry presence.
此次拦截发生于更广泛地区导弹与无人机攻击交锋背景下。伊朗部队为回应早先军事行动,向海湾多地发动打击。阿联酋防空系统随即反应。据阿联酋国防部通报,袭击过程中共探测到174枚射向该国的弹道导弹,其中161枚在抵达目标前遭摧毁。当局还报告探测到689架无人机,其中645架遭拦截。该防御作战依托多层防护体系,包含美制“爱国者”防空系统及近期部署“天弓-II”导弹连。韩国时报》指出,集成至阿联酋导弹防御架构的“天弓-II”导弹连直接参与至少一枚来袭弹道目标拦截。该系统此前已作为韩国与海湾国家扩展防务伙伴关系组成部分对外出口。阿联酋系首个国际用户,于2022年签署价值35亿美元合同,采购韩国防务企业LIG Nex1、韩华系统与韩华航空航天所产十套导弹连。目前至少两套导弹连已部署阿联酋境内。
