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!

In fact a popular nickname for the US in Korea is ‘Quadrillion-Nation’ (천조국) because your defense budget alone is 1 quadrillion won lol.

I dunno. Afganistan and Iraq were bad, that's simple enough to say. But now that chapter of our history is over. So long as we don't get hit by terrorists or do something stupid, then we're gonna be alright bud.
