US delivers fourth and final RQ-4 Global Hawk UAV to RoKAF

by Dae Young Kim

The Republic of Korea Air Force (RoKAF) has received the fourth and final Northrop Grumman RQ-4 Block 30 Global Hawk high-altitude, long-endurance (HALE) unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) it ordered from the United States in 2014.

An official from South Korea’s Defense Acquisition Program Administration (DAPA) told Jane s on 15 October that the UAV arrived in the country in September.

The first UAV was reported to have arrived at Sacheon Air Base in South Gyeongsang Province on 23 December 2019. A few months later, on 19 April, Harry Harris, the US ambassador to South Korea, released an image showing the second UAV alongside the first one in a hangar at an undisclosed location.

It is still unclear when exactly the third UAV arrived in South Korea but, according to the Yonhap News Agency, three of the platforms had been delivered by June.

The RoKAF is believed to be operating the platforms from Sacheon Air Base as part of a recently established reconnaissance squadron.
