Presedintele sud-coreean Moon Jae-in a dezvaluit primul prototip al KF-X, avion de vanatoare de noua generatie dezvoltat de KAI (Korea Aerospace Industries), azi, 9 aprilie, 2021.
Numit KF-21 „Boramae” („Soimul” in coreeana), aeronava este o alternativa low-cost si mai putin „stealth” la F-35-ul deja aflat in serviciul ROKAF (27 pana in prezent, dintr-un total de 40 comandate).
La dezvaluirea oficiala (tinuta la sediul KAI din Sacheon si transmisa live pe Youtube) au participat si reprezentanti ai Indoneziei, partenerul Coreei de Sud in acest program.
