천궁-II부터 한국형 CIWS-II 까지 전세계 러브콜 K-방공 무기 [본게임2] 277회 @KFNPLUS

The Middle East war, triggered by airstrikes on Iran by the U.S. and Israel, continues without finding a way out. In the first week of the war alone, Iran deployed 500 to 700 ballistic missiles and 2,000 suicide drones, pressuring the multi-layered air defenses of Israel and Gulf states using a "mixed fire" tactic. They relentlessly exploited gaps in the multi-layered defense network by saturating air defense sensors with inexpensive drones before deploying ballistic missiles. This Middle East war is spiraling into a war of attrition where losses increase the more defense is maintained, characterized by a structure where missiles costing billions of won are used to counter drones costing only tens of millions of won. Amidst this trend, Ukraine's Sting interceptor drone has emerged as an alternative. Cost-low at around $2,000 to $2,500 per unit, it is attracting attention as a realistic solution to replace expensive interceptor missiles because it rams Shahed-136s into the air to shoot them down. Furthermore, in the Middle Eastern air defense market, the Cheongung-II is emerging as the "Korean Patriot." Its strengths include price competitiveness compared to the Patriot, with a cost of approximately 300 to 500 billion KRW per battery, as well as operational efficiency secured through 360° all-around response and high simultaneous engagement capabilities. In addition, the Biho-Hokhap is rapidly gaining prominence as a solution for countering low-altitude drones. As a system combining a 30mm autocannon with Shingung missiles, it features a layered defense structure that responds to targets within 3km with the autocannon and threats at the 7km level with missiles. In a new war environment where missiles and drones are intermingled, [The Main Game 2] examines how nations will resolve this "balance of attrition."
