The Republic of Korea has begun to create a prototype of its own fighter of a new generation.

South Korea has embarked on an expensive project involving the creation of the Korean Fighter Experimental (KF-X) 5 generation fighter, reports MIC with reference to the country's Defense Ministry.

It is planned that “by 2021, the company Corea Airspace Industries will produce the first six prototypes of the combat vehicle,” the agency notes.

“Then over the course of four years, the fighter’s flight tests will go on, and mass production can begin in the 2026 year,” the report says.

According to the ministry, “by 2032, the 120 of such combat vehicles will be supplied to the Air Force.”

The new fighters will replace the outdated F-4 and F-5 vehicles, which are currently the basis of the RK air force.

The cost of the project to date was $ 14,9 billion. Indonesia took part in it. Support is provided by the United States, which provides modern military technology to Seoul.

[Looking Petrovich]

The layout of the KF-X glider resembles the F-35 and also seems to be single-engine. A trend has been observed in the development of fifth-generation combat aircraft: the West has relied on a single-engine scheme, and Russia and China on a two-engine one.

"Corea Airspace Industries"

- It’s not funny for us, how does it sound in Russian? It was easier (and more pleasant for the eyes) to translate: "Korean aerospace industry", for example. And the plane, yes, it looks like it will be tracing paper from the F-35. But maybe the Koreans will bring it to mind.

How do you like this picture? F-35 - also a case reminiscent of the fifth generation?

Normal, single engine. The fact that the air intake is TWO does not mean TWO engines. This is an ordinary Penguin. Only smaller, Koreans are more skinny than staff.

Well, they will drive them, like mongrels, those single-engine ones. Or seriously decided to fight with KRET? Whoever had the most breakfast, he has a turnip champion - and the combat load and other, um, gizmos. We should be more attentive, in the sense of techno-spies ...

[Pimply]

Quote: Looking Petrovich

there was a tendency in the development of 5 generation combat aircraft: the West relied on a single-engine scheme,

Why? The Americans also have a twin-engine apparatus of the 5 generation. ATD-X Japanese, for example, is being developed with two engines. Yes, and the Korean - with two.

And is it worth it for the sake of a series of 120 cars to fence a garden? Yes, even with the vague prospects of their production by the year 2032? Then already sixth generation fighters will appear.

I don't even know what animal this pepelats (F-35) can be compared with. Obviously not with a horse, rather with a donkey. For a decade and a half, Lockheed's constructors have been cramming the unproductive, trying to make a "universal soldier", but to no avail .. Something with the concept itself is not the same, it seems.

This is the eternal nipple from the Allies. Nifiganeloham Martin need to beat off the money. And there is a clearing yo-mine ... From helmets to headlights. Well, plus all sorts of stuff like stealth. Only this is secret, t-ss, otherwise the Russians will know.

[Tjeck]

Maybe they will, but this does not mean that you can put a bolt on everything. If everyone thought so, then now they would still be fighting on derezable, throwing bombs with their hand. Tembolee now does not even have the concept of the 6th generation, I read that they will work on something called `` morphosity '' but this is still more fantasy.

Well, yes, for more than 60 years they all have united, they cannot unite, Kim scared the south, they immediately ran to the smoked papa to complain. So, most likely there will be no regional superpower.

Anyway, the result will be F35 for $ 14,9 billion, and by the year 26 already outdated.

[Altona]

It turned out prettier than the Japanese, and the classic duck-trough shape for aircraft of this type. The lantern of the cabin is simply more organic than that of the Japanese ... The Japanese has a metal back closed ...

[gabonskijfront]

But what, 25 years ago the whole automotive world laughed at the Korean automobile industry, and now here you are. So it’s quite realistic. That they pull the technologies themselves, which will stir up and make a decent car.

A plane is not a car, air is not land. Electronics can fill the trash can, will there be any sense?

[Karlovar]

35 years ago, they laughed at Korean shipbuilding as well ... Today, Korean shipbuilding is the 2nd in the world after the Chinese ... Warships are also being built (the most powerful Korean destroyers in the world, the Daejeon the Great series) .The destroyer is also not a car and the sea is not land .....

Not a lot, not a little immediately, of the 5th generation, boldly. What to begin, it does not mean yet. And we'll see. But actually they are stubborn.

Yeah, the muzzle from the raptorf22, and the asshole from the f16 is quite a Korean plane! The Chinese way went, "take away" other people's ideas, and then "world experience" will shout!

And what, the guys are ambitious and neat. Mix a little from one, from the other, but do not shake ... It will turn out quite a plane. Not F 35th fly! Koreans are frugal guys ...

Its aerodynamic shape resembles the American F-35.

[Dr. Bormental]

The news is not like new ... But in general, creating a fighter is not a fart in a puddle, much less modern. Something Americans muddied ... decided, you bastards, run your plane at someone else’s expense ...

[WUA 518]

Quote: Dr. Bormental

Something Americans muddied ...

Lockheed Martin, an American company, refused to transfer four technologies used in the development of the promising F-35 Lightning II fighter to South Korea. According to Defense Aerospace, the Koreans planned to use these technologies in creating their own KF-X fighter, the development of which should be completed by 2025. Due to the impossibility of agreeing on a transfer, South Korea intended to abandon the project, but now decided to continue the development of the KF-X. South Korea planned to receive from Lockheed Martin the technology of a radar station with an active phased array, infrared search and tracking system, and electron-optical aiming system and electronic suppression equipment. The South Korean Defense Procurement Authority announced that it intends to request all the information important for the creation of this equipment from other countries and research centers.

The US government banned Lockheed Martin from sharing F-35 technology back in April of this year, but negotiations continued until the end of September. It should be noted that technology transfer was specified in the offset agreement to the main contract for the supply of 40 F-35A fighter jets to South Korea. This agreement was signed in September 2014. The deal amounted to 7,3 trillion won (6,3 billion dollars).

The question is not even what they will build, but in investments in technology. Then the road will be overpowered by the walking one.

A source at DAPA said the organization will seek help from Israel, the UK and Sweden during the development of the radar. http://bastion-karpenko.ru/kfx/

[Zaurbek]

Koreans are smarter than buyers of F-35, who are not given the source codes for the equipment. They will use and upgrade their aircraft themselves.

[Zaurbek]

To create a 5th generation fighter in the Western world, with the availability of funds, you can. Technologies are in different countries of varying degrees of modernity. But there can be problems with export. The Swedes wanted to sell influenza in Argentina, the British vetoed, because part of the equipment was BEA systems. and all, there is no export. The Turks wanted Altai to sell a veto to Azerbaijan-Germany on MTU engines. The problem is that the 5th generation fighter is an expensive thing and you need to build from 100 copies to pay off. How much do you need South Korea with Indonesia aircraft? And there will be no free export. And the technology is expensive.

[Pirogov]

Well, why not if they create it themselves it will be, but of course if, with the help of the Yankees, then yes, until the owner gives the green ho. Lui can’t even breathe!

[Garis]

And what member of this fifth generation has all the pendants on the wing? He will not be able to fly like that on the supersound of afterburners

This is for sponsors.

2035? Seriously?

[SMICKER]

It’s good to share technology. The world still has to undergo shocks, then we'll see who spoils whom the slingshot pulled by the Americans will shoot!

[Neko75]

The Americans would not have climbed, the two Koreas would have united for a long time and there would have been no problems in Taiwan. Trying to keep other people's brains in control by promoting their technologies. For this prototype amerikosy probably also tore the dough!

[Al_oriso]

I am sure this news does not touch anyone. They will create, so they will create. Anyway, with needles to attack the bulletproof vest.

[colonel manuch]

It’s better to take a ready-made plane, and it won’t become obsolete and will certainly be cheaper.

[0255]

I read the comments - again everyone is sure that the Korean fighter project is exclusively cut, and the Koreans will not succeed, as well as the Japanese and Chinese People, let’s less cherish the development of others.
