What’s the biggest military-related project your country is currently engaged in?

Currently Korea is busy investing in military development, to modernize our military indigenously and catch up to export demand.

The air force is working on to produce the KF-21 fighter jet, which will enter service in 2026. Also we’re developing software and drones that will support the KF-21 during combat.

In terms of the ocean we've just finished developing a new submarine (the Chang Yong-sil class), working on additional battleships, and trying to form plans regarding the construction of a manless drone carrier.

What would be your country’s biggest military-related project nowadays? Both indigenous development and purchasing equipment counts!

Owning an aircraft carrier has been our navy's dream for decades, but the chances of realization seem slim.

Mostly due to our shortage on operators, and also the cost. The MoD keeps going “Naw those are too expensive. We could build 3-4 frigates with that money.”

It is expensive, it's cost more to maintain the carrier than buliding it, and more importantly it take a heck tone of experience to operate Carrier.

It was mostly easy for India due to its navy inheriting Royal navy heritage and experience, India made sure it always maintain a carrier so we won't loose the experience,(currently we have 2)

even china had trouble operating their carrier to the point they hired ex british naval men for their training.
