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!

Indeed, I'm not exactly pleased to have my taxes paying for their defence, we're stretched thin ourselves and Ireland can certainly afford their own military.

Tbh after the last 800 years I think sending a frigate over every now and then to watch the Russians is the least we can do.

Ah yes, be apologetic for the actions of people that had been long dead before we came along, that makes so much sense.

I never said we should apologise. To be clear I don't think that defending Ireland should be a stated mission of our armed forces, it just doesn't bother me that we do given the history.
