Portions of a report published by Harold Korea:

After the UAE's acquisition of M-SAM systems and CHUNMOO multi-barrel launchers, it is now showing interest in the L-SAM long-range air defense system.

* In January 2022, the M-SAM was contracted. Will the winds of January 2023 carry the blowing of the L-SAM?
