^ Brzo to ide i turcima takođe. Naravno ne teba im razvijati motora i novih sistema naoružanja iz nule kako to amerikanci rade.

Indonesia Proposes Major Reduction in Funding for Joint KF-21 Boramae Fighter Project with South Korea
Citat:Indonesia has proposed reducing its financial contribution to a joint fighter jet development project with South Korea, according to sources familiar with the matter cited by Yonhap. The Southeast Asian nation suggested cutting its payment to approximately one-third of its original commitment amid ongoing concerns regarding delayed payments.
The proposed reduction would see Indonesia’s total contribution to the KF-21 jet project drop to 600 billion won (US$442.3 million), a stark contrast from the nearly 20 percent of the project’s 8.1 trillion-won budget that was initially agreed upon in 2015.
Citat:To date, Indonesia has contributed approximately 300 billion won (around 220 million dollars) to the project but has struggled to meet the scheduled payment deadlines, raising doubts about its commitment to the development timeline. This has resulted in financial strain on the project and prompted discussions about the future of this international collaboration.
Last year, Indonesian officials requested that South Korea allow them to defer payments until 2034. However, Seoul has remained firm, insisting that payments continue according to the original schedule with a final deadline in 2026.

South Korea Undertakes First Meteor Missile Test with KF-21 Fighter Jet.

The test firing is scheduled to take place over the ocean, off the southern coast of Korea, this week. This follows the successful separation of Meteor missiles during a test with two KF-21 prototypes in March 2023. The upcoming test aims to confirm the KF-21's enhanced range and interception capabilities. A positive result would place the KF-21 among a prestigious group of aircraft, such as the Eurofighter Typhoon, Rafael, and Gripen, which have demonstrated similar capabilities.

Citat:Weapons detachment test.
Unfortunately, KAI and government didnt released missile live fire video which were conducted today.
Today, KF-21 has intercept the small drone(over 87km away) by using Meteor, IRIS-T missile.
The KF-21's radar was used to acquire drone from a far.

South Korea unveils diverse variants for KF-21 Boramae fighter
Citat:Bizhankook reports that South Korea’s next-generation fighter jet, the KF-21 Boramae, is taking shape with plans for three distinct variants: the KF-21 EA, EX, and SA. This diversification strategy aims to not only bolster South Korea’s own airpower but also unlock export potential in the global arms market.
Taking the two-seat KF-21B as its baseline, the EA variant will undergo modifications to accommodate a dedicated Electronic Warfare Officer (EWO) station in the rear cockpit. Three Electronic Attack (EA) devices and two Electronic intelligence (ESM) devices will be integrated into the aircraft, enabling the KF-21 EA to perform a critical escort jamming role. Similar to the U.S. Navy’s EA-18G Growler, the KF-21 EA will disrupt enemy ground-based air defense systems using its jamming technology, safeguarding friendly aircraft during missions. Additionally, the KF-21 EA will be equipped with anti-radiation missiles such as the AARGM-ER to suppress enemy air defense networks (SEAD).

The KF-21 EX variant represents the most ambitious iteration, targeting performance benchmarks that rival fifth-generation fighter jets. To achieve this goal, the KF-21 EX will incorporate a significant modification: an internal weapon bay (IWB). This advanced technology, currently limited to a select few high-performance aircraft, offers a significant advantage by minimizing the radar signature of the aircraft when weapons are stowed internally. This capability is crucial for achieving true fifth-generation stealth characteristics. The IWB on the KF-21 EX is expected to house four Meteor long-range air-to-air missiles or eight smaller air-to-ground munitions. Additionally, the KF-21 EX is envisioned as an integral part of the Next Air Combat System (NACS), a future network that leverages unmanned aerial vehicles and satellite data links.

The KF-21 SA caters to the specific needs of potential export customers. While the base specifications will likely closely resemble those of the Korean Air Force variant, the SA version allows for customization of weapons and internal equipment to meet individual country requirements. Negotiations with potential buyers like Indonesia are ongoing, but final configurations for export models remain undetermined.

South Korea’s Hanwha shows off prototype aircraft engine
https://breakingdefense.com/2024/07/south-koreas-h.....n-9-years/
Citat:An official from Hanwah told Breaking Defense that the engine has a six-stage compressor, one less than the F414, and sits in the range of 15,000-18,000 pounds of thrust, with up to 24,000 pounds if an afterburner is engaged. The official also said that while there was no 3D printing used for the engine prototype, but that would be something to consider in the future.
Citat:The goal is for the F414 to be swapped out of the KF-21 and replaced with this domestic engine, which the company believes could be ready in under a decade with the help of potential international codevelopment.
