Perhaps its due to Trumps treats around Greenland that they chose South Korean missile launchers over american ones? It also sounds like a good idea to buy a system that will be able to use missiles constructed in Poland instead of in the US.
It seems that the US are loosing big on defence contracts these days...Europe buy new frigates..from Europe and now this..
Me think it is a sign of the current state of affairs between USA and Europe.
Since it might also be a risk that Trump who time after time showed that he is unreliable might decide not to sell missiles for american systems to Europe if he feels the need to punish the continent for some real or percieved slight towards him or his grandiose ideas. The rumors surrounding kill switches in the F35s might also hurt american defense exports in general.
Also I have read that South Korea delivers much faster then american defense contractors, and they do seem to have a lot of success in Europe as of late, selling a lot of main battle tanks and self propelled artillery aswell.
