    Korea KTX-II (T-50, TA-50, FA-50) program

    KAI's T/FA-50 MLU Proposal announced in 2022. It was not officially created by the South Korean Ministry of Defense. The T-50 family of aircraft has been in service for 18 years since it was first delivered to the Air Force and will reach mid-life (20 years) in 2025. Why does the T/FA-50...

    Korea SAM programs

    In the first place, PAC-3 and L-SAM have different areas of responsibility. Rather than looking at which one is better, we should look at whether they can accomplish the mission in their respective areas, especially in ballistic interceptions on a narrow peninsula, where KAMD requires layered...

    Korea KTX-II (T-50, TA-50, FA-50) program

    The KAI production line was shown in a Korean TV show. The T-50/FA-50 line is running non-stop, and it's been a while since we've seen news about the T-50i. I think it was filmed in August.

    Korea Massive military parade in Seoul

    It will rain again this year, although not as much as last year. It's fun to see air shows and military equipment, but I hope this government will stop doing such parades. It's not only about the budget used for the parade, but it's going to be hard for the soldiers who are mobilized for it...

    Korea KF-X/ IF-X (KF-21) program

    Thank you for being more precise. But I think there will be a lot of people asking that question about KF-21 in the future.(including misunderstanding of the TOT in Indonesia) The end of the misunderstanding is far and wide.☺️ Probably because they want to differentiate themselves from American...

    L-SAM ABM The square cell you see next to the ABM is the L-SAM AAM. The truck is the same, only the missiles on the trailer are different. The AAM is in a square cell because it has a smaller diameter than the ABM and is being considered for integration into the Navy's K-VLS in the future...

    There have been reports that the Iraq contract will be signed before that, but this time it remains to be seen whether it's real. From the major media reports, it seems quite likely. I'm looking forward to seeing if it will be a Chuseok gift. Have a nice Chuseok!!

    Korea SAM programs

    I was cleaning up my cloud and found a photo I missed from last year. It was taken at the 2023 ADEX LIG Nex1 booth. The Long-range surface to air missile on the far right is the AAM of the L-SAM. It's a shame that the ABM was shown up to the launch scene, but the AAM was not. Both types are...

    As @Chocopie told us, this is a SAR satellite called Doory-Sat. It's not officially operated by the government, but it's Hanwha's own EQM, and the official project will be a SAR satellite based on this model. It's called the “H-model”, and we're going to launch a validation satellite in '26...
