THAAD will be deployed in eight to ten months: USFK General

Deployment technically possible, but politically very difficult, a Seoul-based expert says

U.S. Forces Korea (USFK) General Vincent K. Brooks said the U.S. made Terminal High-Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) system will be deployed in South Korea in the next eight to ten months, numerous media outlets in South Korea reported on Friday.

The news came a day after another high-ranking U.S. official’s statement, which also said the THAAD battery deployment will go forward as previously planned.
