South Korea received the first serial-production KF-21 Boramae fighter jet built domestically. The aircraft with tail number 001 22 flew from the Korea Aerospace Industries factory to Yecheon Air Base in September. It took the country 25 years to carry the program from the initial concept to handing the first fighter over to the military.
The KF-21 belongs to the 4,5 generation and is intended to gradually replace the aging F-5 fighters. South Korea’s Yonhap news agency reported this, citing a joint statement from the military and the Defense Acquisition Program Administration (DAPA).
