South Korea's Korea Aerospace Industries and Hyundai Rotem signed an agreement to develop and integrate a homegrown long-range air-to-air missile for the KF-21 Boramae fighter jet, aiming to enhance sovereign air-combat capability and gain an export advantage.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Defense Tech.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

South Korea has secured local control over a key weapon for the KF-21 jet, creating a stronger position for export deals. If you build complementary defence tech or weapons, now is the time to explore partnerships or supply opportunities in this expanding state-led programme.
