South Korea plans to buy and integrate TAURUS on F-15K

South Korea’s defense minister told a parliamentary committee that Seoul plans to buy the TAURUS KEPD 350 air-launched cruise missile for its F-15K fleet.

Kim Kwan-jin said this is due to difficulties in obtaining the Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile (JASSM).

South Korean media reported that the country is looking to buy 200 of the missiles.
