Short range IR guided missile typically need to track target with its "eye" first before launch. Putting it on underbelly pylon make it difficult to track target.
More of Boramae
No explosion cord on canopy glass like F35 so Boramae need to jettison the whole canopy in the event of ejection. I hope that BAE's Lite HUD is as strong and tough as F-16's HUD (that HUD has to be strong to shield pilot form incoming rushing air)
Edit: on a closer look I notice...
Some source said they switched their offer to Su57. But I don't think that will fruitful. Indonesia need US approval to get their KFX ToT afterall.
(Su35 aja dramanya udah panjang gini, eh mau Su57.... 😑)
Renegotiation will finally come to an end...
Do you think I'm just talking about Korean?
And too bad, since 9th April it's already point of no return for us. The only thing we can do now is putting local content as much as possible, like InfoGlobal instruments, etc. Just like @Indos said.
No IWB for block 2.
Block 2 is just software...
Greenligh a project that possibly become their competitors? Genius...
And why those countries have to buy an aircraft which use the same subsystem with their old one (same capability), less pylons, less range, pretty much the same MTOW, and not so stealthy to begin with?
Hanwha AESA
Thales's RBE2-AA
Just look at how different they're mounted in their respective platforms. We have to structurally redesign KFX nose sections if we want to put RBE2-AA into it.
But I totally agree if ID AF use MBDA Meteor
