U.S. Begins Process Towards Signing Defense Procurement Pact with South Korea
Just another sign of how far the ROK’s defense industry has come that now even the U.S. is interested in procurement:
The U.S. Defense Department has started a process to solicit industry feedback on its pursuit of a defense procurement agreement with South Korea to allow easier access to each other’s market amid growing security uncertainties from North Korean threats and other challenges.
Last week, the department posted a notice in the Federal Register to request public comments on the pursuit of a new Reciprocal Defense Procurement (RDP) Agreement with South Korea through March 25.
Seoul and Washington have been seeking to sign the agreement as President Yoon Suk Yeol and U.S. President Joe Biden committed to strengthening partnerships in defense-sector supply chains and beginning talks on the agreement during their summit in April last year.
“The purpose of an RDP Agreement is to promote rationalization, standardization, interchangeability and interoperability of conventional defense equipment with allies and other friendly governments,” the department said in the notice.

Good going Korea! Yoon appears to know how to negotiate,
South Korea has enough production capacity of ammunition to supply BOTH Europe and the US at the same time.
And both of the powers are putting more and more pressure on South Korea to supply Ukraine directly.

If this was a smart government as setnaffa claims it is, then it would be using this fact to South Korea’s advantage to get what South Korea needs, like economic concessions and other favors. However, so far the result has been that Yoon gives away the world for exactly nothing in return (other than a worthless piece of paper that claims the US will protect SK from nuclear attack at the expense of endangering US cities).
“South Korea has enough production capacity of ammunition to supply BOTH Europe and the US at the same time.”
For training, supplying Ukraine, or fighting Russia and China from Warsaw to Taipei?
