SEOUL, March 7 (Xinhua) -- The South Korean government is hurriedly pushing the deployment of Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) in its soil as part of efforts to break through political difficulties facing impeached President Park Geun-hye and the conservative bloc.
South Korea's defense ministry said Tuesday two mobile launchers and a part of equipments necessary for THAAD arrived here late at night Monday and were transported to an unknown base of the U.S. Forces Korea (USFK).
THAAD is composed of six mobile launchers, 48 interceptors, an X-band radar and the fire and control unit.
It indicates a de-facto start of the THAAD deployment, which came just a week after Lotte signed a contract with the defense ministry to swap its golf course in southeast South Korea for military land near the capital Seoul.
No advance procedure has been completed, but the THAAD elements have already been brought to somewhere in South Korea, though not to the golf course in Seongju county, North Gyeongsang province where the THAAD battery is set to be placed.
