according to yonhap news agency on the 13th, the south korean military discovered that more than 1,300 closed-circuit television surveillance systems installed in front-line troops were not produced in south korea, but chinese products. they then dismantled the existing monitors and are reinstalling them, and plan to file claims against suppliers.

the south korean military said that during a joint inspection of military equipment with intelligence agencies at the end of july, it was discovered that the surveillance system was made in china. the military has dismantled existing products, and so far about 100 sets of south korean-made surveillance devices have been installed.

a south korean military official said that after investigation, it was found that the dismantled surveillance system was designed to "access a specific chinese server", and there was a risk of the video footage shot by the surveillance camera being leaked, but no intelligence leaks have occurred so far. the official explained that these surveillance systems were mainly used to monitor training grounds and troop fences, not to monitor the demilitarized zone between north and south korea.

according to reports, the south korean military plans to claim compensation from the supplier because the supplier lied that the batch of monitors were "made in south korea" and delivered chinese products to the south korean military.
