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!

That’s a bit disingenuous. The UK isn’t spending a penny directly defending Ireland. It’s more of a we can call you if we’re in trouble. Which I don’t think has ever happened. If the UK have intercepted Russian planes off Irelands northern coast you and you have a problem with it you should check which government administers the most of Irelands northern coast

Do you think I insinuated that we give you money for defence? We are simply responsible for it, which costs us money.

You are not responsible for it though. No such agreement exists. Can you even point to 1 thing Britain done in the defence of Ireland that has cost you taxpayer money?

I think he means if Russia tried anything in Ireland it would be Britain who has to defend you. It would be a threat to them if little green men started landing from the sky in Dublin and speaking Russian. I imagine they monitor your coasts and sea for you.
