I was going to write this reply to SpudmanWP's post at "The Bar" forum, but the thread was locked for some reason.Yes, there is now a strong hint that Boeing won the Korean F-X contest based on two indirect evidences.1. The treasury ministry is going to hold a side by side comparison between the indigenous KFX development plan vs the heavy modification of the "FX3 contest winner's" existing model early next year to see which one cost less while meeting the performance goal. This implies a Boeing win because Lockheed did not include such a plan in its bid.2. Korean F-15 parts supplier's stocks are rising for 10 straight days at the stock market, based on the market anticipation of Boeing win. In fact, one large F-15 parts supplier was mentioning a big fighter jet parts order coming in the next quarter in its financial statement.Korea appears to be the first open fighter jet contest where the F-35 is defeated.
