Well they do need them urgently... To the point that they willingly gave up some of its stealth potential to have it in service earlier.Boramae testing is certainly coming on fast.

Until now, it has been testing the stability of the aircraft and missile operation by flying at a low speed of 400 to 800 kilometers per hour, and it was confirmed that it exceeded Mach 1.8 of the top speed of the aircraft for the first time in a test flight on May 2.

On May 8, the South Korean Defence Acquisition Program Administration (DAPA) conducted a successful test of the Meteor long-range air-to-air missile from the KF-21 Boramae fighter jet.

Additionally, DAPA also confirmed the successful testing of the IRIS-T short-range air-to-air missile on the same day, further showcasing the KF-21’s versatile armament capabilities. The KF-21 Boramae is now the fourth aircraft type to be integrated with the Meteor missile, following the Rafale, Eurofighter, and Gripen.

Related photos and videos have not been released yet, but they are expected to be released soon. During the missile launch test, there is no video taken from the outside aircraft, but only video taken from inside KF-21.

Yeah he's just a fanboy at this point, and I've heard that he's not even Korean? Regardless you can't expect to gain useful info from him.The watermark says mbicnews
thats the problem with ハクMason's Twitter
he takes a lot of work from elsewhere, doesn't credit them, and adds a lot of his own spin to it which half the time is pure speculation.
I mean, the KF21 is a very impressive development for the Koreans. Basically a 4.75Gen fighter, and isn't the KF21 their first home grown fighter design? LO shaped, but still has 4gen engines for right now.Yeah he's just a fanboy at this point,
What I meant by that is he doesn't have much knowledge to offer. As said, he's not different from those fanboys regardless of nationality.I mean, the KF21 is a very impressive development for the Koreans.

Same with the Turks and Kaan.

I'd recommend procuring more FA-50s first. They need to expand their laughable fleet but I'm not even sure they have the budget for more aircraft.Believe this when I see it:

yeah I totally agree with this, better to consolidate their fleet first and build up more of the same types to improve both capacity and simplify logistics.I'd recommend procuring more FA-50s first.

Forget Boramae, even a couple of Vipers don't seem possible at this point.
Someone's eyes are way, way bigger than their budget...Believe this when I see it:

Manufactured by Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI), the KF-21 Boramae is a fighter aircraft that resembles the design of the F-35A. South Korea has investing nearly US$8 billion in the fighter development programme which is set to be completed by 2028.www.shephardmedia.com
