However the better question is what it gains S. Korea to have the US BMD capability-the threat to them is not really a BMD threat-and would not some of the other US systems work better-from a geometry standpoint if nothing else. Japan and Korea's problems are quite different when it comes to BMD. And either way calls for some pretty sophisticated sensors.
