If the South Korea Goes to War, These Missiles Would Strike North Korea
South Korea’s missile deterrence doctrine revolves around two strategies: Kill Chain and Korea Massive Punishment and Retaliation, otherwise known as KMPR. Both of these strategies are reliant on thorough surveillance of North Korean targets of interest, and the ability to accurately target and destroy these targets.

South Korea’s missile deterrence doctrine revolves around two strategies: Kill Chain and Korea Massive Punishment and Retaliation, otherwise known as KMPR. Both of these strategies are reliant on thorough surveillance of North Korean targets of interest, and the ability to accurately target and destroy these targets.
Kill Chain aims to preempt a North Korean attack on the South. If an attack is being prepared, Kill Chain would target North Korean long-range artillery, missiles, and nuclear infrastructure. Importantly, Kill Chain is not an attempt at regime change.
