South Korea unveils new fighter jet

South Korea has unveiled the prototype of its next-generation indigenous fighter, the KF-21 Boramae (meaning hawk in Korean).

The new KF-21 is one of the most important national projects to replace current air force fighters and introduce the next generation fighter that can satisfy the future operation concept of the force battlefield.

Boramae is a multi-role fighter jet and the result of the KF-X aircraft development program, ongoing since 2016.

Indonesia has promised to fund 20 percent of the total development cost, or 1.73 trillion won ($1.55 billion), in exchange for 50 planes that will be manufactured there for the Indonesian Air Force, as well as the transfer of the technology.
