South Korea May Allow Sharing THAAD Radar Data with Japan

This is pretty significant if the South Korean government moves forward with this suggestion:

North Korea provocations are making Seoul reconsider intelligence sharing strategies with Tokyo.

Seoul’s defense ministry spokesman Moon Sang-kyun told reporters Thursday the radar information from the U.S. anti-missile defense system THAAD could be shared with Japan, local news service Newsis reported.

That response was a departure from a previous statement issued July 19, when Defense Minister Han Min-koo told parliamentarians the information from the THAAD radar would not be shared with Japan.  [UPI]

You can read more at the link, but keep in mind that the South Koreans do not need THAAD to share data with Japan.  That is because the ROK already has their Israeli bought Green Pine radars installed with coverage of North Korea that could also share the data with Japan if the ROK wanted to.
