Korean Government to Install Electromagnetic Wave Detectors to Appease THAAD Activists
These electromagnetic wave detectors are not going to detect anything because the THAAD radar looks up towards the sky into space where a ballistic missile comes from. Pointing the THAAD radar at the ground towards a farm will not allow it to detect ballistic missiles. The claim made by activists has already been disproven with tests taken before, but the government is going to go ahead and continue to play this game for activists that will never be happy until the radar is removed:
South Korea’s defense ministry has selected a successful bidder in its project to acquire and install electromagnetic wave detectors around the THAAD missile defense base in a southeastern county, officials said Sunday.
The ministry is to receive the delivery of eight electromagnetic wave detectors by April 28, 2023, under a promise made to residents in Seongju, 217 kilometers southeast of Seoul, home to an advanced U.S. missile defense system called Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD).
Five of those will be installed near the base to monitor the potentially hazardous electromagnetic waves of THAAD’s X-band radar around the clock, with the remainder to be set aside as spares.
The equipment is expected to be installed in the second quarter of next year, according to an official, who added that the ministry is in talks with local organizations on the exact locations.

You can read more at the link, but does the government provide electromagnetic wave tests for all the Korean Green Pine and Patriot radars spread out around the country?
Commies hate anything that allows democracies to defend themselves.
If I had known this was going on, I would have submitted my bid.
It checks all the boxes.
– affordable (relatively)
– uses only recycled tin foil
– won’t detect any pesky waves
– contains enough C4 to punish tamperers
So why not have these at every Korean Airport, Airbase, Sea port, sea surface search radar site, and ADA missile site? What a bunch of idiots.
We did this years ago and the Government even brought in an independent measurement team, but the protestors would not accept any data.
So the answer is to address irrationality with rationality?
No.
It doesn’t work with druggies, crazy people, women (a week or so out of the month), or ideologues.
In this case?
Violence. Everybody understands violence.
