South Korea's KF-21 Boramae multirole fighter has successfully completed 1 accident-free test flights. This emphasizes its reliability and technical excellence.
Developed by Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI), this aircraft has maximum speed of Mach 1,8. The combat radius is 2 km and equipped with advanced systems such as active phased array antenna (AESA) radars and electro-optical sighting systems. The fighter was created to strengthen South Korea's defense autonomy and reduce dependence on foreign suppliers.
Serial production is planned to start in 2026 with an initial order of 120 units for the South Korean Air Force. Prospects for export to the countries of Southeast Asia and the Middle East are also being considered.
