South Korea Develops Hypersonic Missile to Elevate KF-21 Fighter’s Strategic Role
Citat:On August 12, 2025, according to publicly released information and as reported on X by @mason_8718, South Korea confirmed the development of an air-launched hypersonic ballistic missile intended for the KF-21 fighter. The program is based on the Korean Tactical Surface-to-Surface Missile (KTSSM) family and envisions a configuration allowing two weapons to be carried per aircraft. The concept is similar to the Israeli Air LORA and ROCKS systems, as well as the American Mako project, all of which are designed to provide long-range strike capability while penetrating advanced air defense systems.

Citat:Two missiles will be armed on the KF-21 and are expected to be based on the KTSSM series missiles. The concept is similar to the Israeli Air LORA and ROCKS, or the American Mako. According to the press release, the goal, similar to numerous other air-launched missiles designed for the KF-21 and FA-50, is to penetrate and evade enemy air defenses and strike key targets. According to data, development has already been completed silently, with plans to acquire over 100 missiles. However, the detailed schedule is unknown.
The missile's speed is said to be Mach 5-10, and its range is estimated at 400-1,000 km.
The other intimidating air-launched missiles, such as hypersonic cruise missiles, also reach significant development status.
