“We are going to field Global Hawk for actual operations within the second half of this year. They will be put into service after the one remaining unit arrives here, which will take place soon,” an anonymous source was quoted as saying.

South Korea was cleared to buy 4 RQ-4s in 2013. The first aircraft was delivered in December 2019.
