Korea Kicks Off Stealth Fighter Program
Citat:The biggest homegrown weapons development project in Korean history is about to take off as Seoul begins production for its new cutting-edge, multi-role fighter jets known as the KFX.
The design for the KFX, which stands for Korean Fighter Experimental, is the result of almost two decades of planning that cost the government approximately 8.6 trillion won ($7 billion). Once production begins on 120 units of the new jet, which is scheduled to start in 2026, an additional 10 trillion won will be needed, putting the bill for the entire project at around 18.6 trillion won.
The Defense Acquisition Program Administration (DAPA), Korea’s arms procurement agency, concluded its three-day critical review of the jet’s design last week, giving its final approval on Friday. Production of a prototype model begins this month.
According to Ryu Kwang-soo, head business manager of the KFX project at Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI) - the project’s main developer, around 9,300 out of the approximately 12,000 detailed blueprints needed for the KFX project are complete - 78 percent of the project, including key components.

Elbit Systems to provide TF/TA systems for RoKAF’s future KF-X fighter aircraft
Citat:Israel's Elbit Systems announced on 6 February that it has been awarded a contract by Hanwha Systems to equip the Republic of Korea Air Force's (RoKAF's) future KF-X fighter aircraft with its terrain following/terrain avoidance (TF/TA) systems.
The Haifa-based company said in a statement that the contract, which is worth USD43 million, will be performed over a six-year period.
"Embedding Elbit Systems' TF/TA solution enables fighter jets to fly and manoeuvre safely at low-altitudes, in zero visibility, and harsh weather conditions [instrument meteorological conditions], thereby enhancing their capability to operate undetected in hostile territory," said the company.
