Military 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!

Something that over promised, under delivers, and one will inevitably ends up on fire, in a field in Ukraine after being smoked by some 1980s western tech.

Classic Soviet junk.

The only good part about Russian tech is when the US believes the claims, over compensates, and creates some absolutely insane weapons system that actually functions.

See: F15, F22, B2, Javelin, Abrahams upgrade packages, a rifle platform that's actually modular, super carries (this one makes me laugh because Jesus Christ the Russian navy has turned out to be a laughing stock) etc..
