The Taurus missile, mounted on F-15K fighter planes can hit key facilities in Pyongyang from the sky over Daejeon, 164 kilometers south of Seoul and has a range of 500 kilometers. The Air Force received the first shipment of missiles from Germany's Taurus Systems in October with plans to sequentially take a total of 170 Taurus missiles by 2018. The missile deployment is part of South Korea's efforts to develop its pre-emptive missile destruction system, called "Kill Chain," to detect and strike North Korea's missiles and nuclear targets.
