"I've advocated for Poland to acquire the L-SAM high-altitude long-range interceptor system. Unless they're willing to acquire the expensive US THAAD system like Saudi Arabia. Since last year Hanwha has been showcasing anti-drone low-altitude medium-altitude and high-altitude air defense solutions in the Middle East and Europe. At MSPO they showcased not only the L-SAM but also the H-SHORAD Laser H-SHORAD Sky Light (laser) and the 40mm unmanned air defense systems. Poland already operates or is preparing medium-range SAMs so the H-SHORAD and L-SAM look promising. Few countries are developing"

While it's a premium export model it's highly likely to replace the ROK Navy's DDH-II Yi Sun-sin-class destroyers. Therefore negotiations with Saudi Arabia should be prioritized and conducted in parallel with the KDDX schedule as much as possible.
