SEOUL: The
US military in South Korea has asked the Pentagon to provide more attack
helicopters, aircraft and missile defence systems, its chief said Tuesday, amid
threats by North Korea against the South.
"In
order to enhance war-fighting capabilities, I have asked for prioritisation to
receive an additional attack and reconnaissance squadron to bring to our combat
aviation brigade," General James Thurman told a forum.
"And
I have asked for increased capabilities in terms of theatre ballistic missile
defence," said Thurman, adding he is confident the request will be met.
