South Korea to upgrade F-15Ks; buy more tankers
By Greg Waldron, 29 December 2022
Seoul has approved a plan to upgrade Boeing F-15K ‘Slam Eagle’ fighters operated by the Republic of Korea Air Force (ROKAF), as well as plans to obtain additional tanker aircraft.
The F-15K performance update...
I think your compatriots know much more about Gezgin than me. What I read was comparable with Tomahawk and Kalibr.
500 kg warhead, different versions planned with ranges from 800-1,000/1,500/2,500 km or longer.
Same family name with no. can also be totally confusing when done not right:
Korean Hyunmoo 2 and 4 are ballistic missiles, Hyunmoo 3 variants are all cruise missiles. Hyunmoo 4-4 is the designatin for the SLBM. And Hyunmoo 1 was a missile based on old US Nike Hercules (surface-to-air) with a...

ROK Armed Forces failed to shoot down the intruders. One KA-1 Woongbi crashed during operation (pilots safely ejected). Poor response and performance of SK, heads must roll … national defense is compromised. Embarassing...
Dr. Sahin & Dr. Türeci are a real success: he came to Germany when he was 4 years old, she was born in Germany and both got German citizenship.
They are brilliant people, I bet, they could have developed the mRNA vaccine also in Turkiye if they had lived there. Gifted scientists often get an...
??? Where did I look down on Turkey???
Please re-read my posts. There‘s no point in accusing someone during a discussion, if you‘re of opposite opinion.
But what does that prove? The founder of Samsung Group stayed at home and created an even bigger empire than TSMC 20 years earlier. 30+ other founders of Korean multinational chaebols who propelled Korean economy were also not returned emigrants. They wouldn‘t have built that companies if they...
About Dekasegi:
If you live in Japan, you surely know how they‘re looked down on and discriminated by the average Japanese because of language barrier und cultural differences.
Jessica and Krystal and other Korean-American stars are typical returners because of Kpop (white America ignored yellow folks in music & movies):
„Korean American return migrants have predominantly been entertainers who were either recruited by South Korean talent agencies or had chosen to move...
Thanks for the stats. There‘re approx. 7 million people of Turkish origin living in Germany, roughly half of them already with German citizenship.
193.000 young Turks returning home over a time span of 4 years is a good number, but only a bigger drop (2,75%). The majority will stay in Germany...
Don‘t know about Turkish remigration numbers and mindset of returning home.
The returning numbers for Koreans from USA and Japan are miniscule, even when the economy is booming. Once settled in a new country (business running, houses built, kids in school/college) people seldom return …
Most importantly Korea was poor as f*ck. The people then knew nothing else than authoritarian regimes since the beginning of the Republic. The military came 1961 into power and ruled until 1987.
Over 1 million Koreans emigrated to the US in this period, approx. 900.000 live in Japan today (mass...
It‘s often not solely about economic but also societal & political factors. No one leaves the homeland light-heartedly. But I didn‘t want to get in a political discussion, therefore I don‘t know enough about the inner workings of Turkish society.
Good luck with that. TSMC manufactured Elbrus-CPUs and Baikal microchips so far.
Russian chip manufacturer Mikron (not US Micron) has certified 64 nm tech, could scale down to 28 nm.
But without a new fab with embargoed high precision equipment and material from mostly US, European and...
