I don't know, my guess is it won't be until 2028. The ROKAF's KF-5s need to be replaced urgently, and we need time to make sure that the production capacity of the facility is equal to the actual target. According to KAI, it can produce 2-3 KF-21s and 4 FA-50s per month.

South Korea's sixth and final KF-21 Boramae prototpye aircraft successfully completed its maiden flight on 28 June 2023. I thought it would make its maiden flight in July due to the rainy season, but it's nice to be proven wrong. KF-21 block 1 will begin Low rate initial production in 2024 to...

[From the Scene] Polish pilots on transition from flying Soviet jets to S. Korea's FA-50 https://www.koreaherald.com/view.php?ud=20230621000643 8 Polish pilots in S. Korea for FA-50 operation training as delivery of combat aircraft starts in August

The ship carrying the Korean-assembled Homar-K departed today and will be delivered to Poland in mid-August. Only the first three will be assembled in South Korea, after which the remaining launchers (215 units) and the Jelcz 8x8 will be assembled locally in Poland. Now it's Poland's turn.

I almost forgot to mention that the first Homar-K was released because of the FA-50 GF, haha. This is the same shape as the previously revealed Chunmoo KTSSM-II launcher. This means that Homar-K will also have a Tactical Ballistic Missile capability.

It was an event that KAI and the Korean Ministry of Defense put a lot of work into. I'm looking forward to the upcoming release of Block 20.

Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI) unveiled the upgraded FA-50 Fighting Eagle with aerial refueling capability. The upgraded FA-50 is now able to conduct aerial refueling via probe & drogue method, which will greatly enhance its operational range. Polish FA-50PL will be the first FA-50 to feature...

As the Batch-I to Batch-II program progresses, there are also export warship programs based on this ship. The Jose Rizal-class Frigate is HHI's export warship based on the Batch-I Incheon-class. The first ship was delivered in 2019 and the second, Antonio Luna, is currently in service with...

FFX Batch-II (Daegu-class frigate) - 8 The Daegu-class is an improved variant of the Incheon-class frigate. Modifications to the Incheon-class include a TB-250K towed array sonar system and a 16-cell Korean Vertical Launching System (K-VLS) that is able to deploy the K-SAAM, Hong Sang Eo...

The FFX program refers to the ROK Navy's future frigate program, which began in the early 21st century. Previously, the ROK Navy built PCC and FF to counter North Korea's high-speed spy vessels and semi-submersibles. Notably, this high-speed spy ship had multiple engines, allowing it to...

I mean, if you had to choose between a nuclear submarine and an aircraft carrier. Isn't it funny, the same arguments that Korean military enthusiasts used to have are happening here.

I don't know what Turkey is aiming for, but if I had to choose, it would be an aircraft carrier.

Oh, I think it's been around for a while, especially since the North Korean SLBM threat became more certain. In South Korea, many military enthusiasts have talked about plans for a nuclear-powered submarine, but the government has never officially announced that it is moving forward. I'm sure...

? South Korea is not building nuclear submarines.I appreciate that you are paying attention to our economic development and the growth of our nuclear power industry. But we Korean are focusing on light aircraft carriers, not nuclear submarines.

They seem to train pretty hard.

The annual production capacity found in KAI's Earnings Presentation. This is not to say that KAI is currently producing at this rate, but rather that this is the maximum Capa they can produce in a given year and the maximum number of workers they can produce with in their current production...

As far as I know, Japan has never built a TB2 class drone. (I think they have done a lot of research and experiments.) Only recently have they imported the American MQ-9B and used it in the JCG. In particular, the JGSDF has only been known to use small UAS. It is possible that the JGSDF is...

The range is 290 kilometers. Actually, I don't know if it's correct to use the term batch-2, maybe KTSSM-2 is the official name.

First picture of the K239 Chunmoo MLRS with KTSSM-I batch-II Compared to the standard K239, you can see that the launcher is slightly extended. 239mm, 300mm, KTSSM-I batch-II(CTM=Chunmoo Tactical Missile+290KM)
