KF-21 Boramae: South Korea's Cheaper Fighter Jet

The KF-21 Boramae, formerly KF-X, is a South Korean-led aircraft development program to produce an advanced multi-role fighter for South Korea. The KF-21 project aims to provide a cost-effective alternative to the American-made Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II while enhancing South Korea’s domestic defense industry.

Of course Korea can't make Fighter jet like F-35 but can surely sell these to countries looking for something similar to it which is a huge game changer.

[SirAndoy]

In its future blocks, its planned to make a stealth variant.

[martinberg]

The Saudis have expressed interest to partner up with the Koreans to develop the jet

[colinjames]

It is an interesting idea to transform and adopt the F-35 into their arsenal as they did. It looks promising

[ryanmac]

They don’t have price gouging like we do.Americas defense budget has always been over inflated.Five hundred dollars for a harbor freight screw drivers.lol

[adnunnkeypengyt]

Philippines will the first in line for KF21

[markymarknj]

THIS is the fighter the USAF needs! It's capable and cost effective, something US DoD programs are not.

[wwewewaeawdasdw]

Its for the filling the cap if f-4 not f-16or f-35 ...

[jayyoo]

Bora-Mae means Tan colored- Falcon (hawk) is the trained hunting hawk that has been popular in Korean hunting culture.

[Lord_Unicorn]

will you guys going give us the money you promised?

[olracmike]

Can they modify block 1 to have internal bay hope it is not an expensive upgrade so current customers can enjoy the full power it promised

[saeedabdelqader]

More information need to provided about the capabilities of this Airplane . I will be surprised if it is any better than F 16 of F 15

[channeldeleted]

Please make a video about the TF-X Kaan

[JoelLabilles]

The Philippines should have this flying machine aside frm the F16
And the JAS 39 Gripen.

[robertogonzalezherrera]

No bomb bay doors or bomb space in the fuselage

[PIZZA_KITTY]

At the end of the video the island behind the KF21 is Dokdo, which is Korean territory historically, and legally.

[urfiredude]

I don't know much about nozzles on fighters but they look kind like the Super Hornets. I know another NATO country actually uses the Super Hornets engines for their fighters .

[Hey_lts_Me_Goku]

Ngl this kiiinda reminds me of something 🤔

[Martiniinc]

Anyone know the weather forecast for tomorrow ?

[otterconnor]

But like, the stealthy-ish shape is completely undone by the dozen non stealthy things bolted to the wings. It would be more effective and efficient to purchase a vetted legacy 4th gen, like a f16 or Rafael, than have all the problems of a new fighter with new technology.
