Let's wait and see if at least one of these designs will actually be built and mass produced instead of ending up as another image collection in someone's flashdisk.

Or, worse, only ends up as the 1,016,267th prototype in this country.
I'm actually hoping most of them will become another useless prototype, thus will not be use for actual combat by our personnel.

TAV 4X4... Tavaxa... This suddenly reminded me with *Shudder* "Tahvava" :eek:

Anyway, I have no doubt that we have more than enough talents who are just as capable in designing military vehicles as other nations. Whether we have enough will and industrial capacity to really build them are another matter, though.

Oh one more thing: I do hope that Kemhan and Pindad registered those designs for patents with sufficient compensation for the designers.
With no published spec and some design look similar to existing design on the market, not to mention many of them look like it was design by someone who doesn't have the slightest clue (let alone experience) in driving anything more than 2 wheeler❓ Even that no 1 design is practically ridiculous, without any real world practical application other than for extremely specialized role (such as unmanned rover)

[Exclusive] Applying ‘stealth paint’ to ‘KF-21 Boramae’

Reporter Shin, Shin | Input 2021-08-13 03:10:00

It is known that the first domestic fighter 'KF-21 Boramae', the prototype of which was unveiled in April of this year, is highly likely to have some stealth performance. Last year, the domestic stealth paint development was completed and the performance was proven, so they plan to apply it before mass production of the KF-21.

According to a related source on the 10th, the development of a paint with radio wave absorption function (RAM paint) that Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI) entrusted with a research service entrusted to a private company was completed last year and its performance was recognized in the subsequent evaluation. The source said, "We are in the stage of applying (paint technology)." It is said that the performance will be verified by applying paint to the prototype in the process of developing the KF-21, which will undergo 2,200 flight tests over 4 years from July next year after ground testing.

The paint applied to the surface of the fuselage is the core technology of the stealth aircraft, along with the internal weapon window and the infrared emission suppression engine. The reason that the authorities initially started developing paints in Korea was because it was not easy to introduce them overseas due to technology leakage. Authorities believe that this domestically developed paint will greatly reduce the 'detection rate', which reduces the possibility of being detected by enemy radar.

The F-35A, a representative stealth aircraft, has a radar cross section (RCS) of 0.001 m2, the value of which the electromagnetic field emitted by the radar meets an object and returns back, and the F-22 'Raptor' reaches 0.0001 m2. It is said that these fighters are detected on the radar at the level of a 'golf ball'. Another source said, “It is not as good as the fifth-generation fighters such as the F-35A, but the detection rate will be significantly lower than that of existing air force fighters such as the KF-16. I think this will be the case.”

Although not developed as a stealth aircraft, the KF-21, which is similar in appearance to the F-22, is evaluated to have the highest specifications as a 4.5th generation fighter except for the 5th generation. The South Korean military plans to deploy 40 units by 2028 and 120 units by 2032 in total.

The question is, are they willing to apply that coating to IFX too or not?

Posted this here to compare it with our Harimau prototype (this one is still Kaplan MT, not Harimau. Idk if Pindad has access to this version)
