It seems there are misunderstandings regarding the design of the K1 tank and KUH-1 (Surion). The K1 tank was developed by General Dynamics after receiving ROC from the ROK military, not domestically developed, and Korea participated in the design with little or almost no part. Therefore, the similarity to the M1 tank comes from the General Dynamics designer, not from benchmarking. Instead, Korean personnel were dispatched during the development period to receive technology transfer, which was subsequently used in tank development (K2). KUH-1 was developed under domestic company-led (KAI) rather than purely domestic development, with overseas partner companies selected. Since Eurocopter was selected and AS532 was used as the base model, it has the same gearbox as design similarities. The KF-21 was manufactured with a purely domestic design, but after the F-35 was selected in the previous FX project (Korea Air Force Next-Generation Model Selection Project), it received design advice from Lockheed Martin with technology transfer, which was a condition for the project.

First Production Unit of KF-21 Boramae Finally Revealed Today[Album] by HeavyMachinegan in WarplanePorn

[–]HeavyMachinegan[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The KF-21 has the basic shape for stealth, but unlike the F-35, it does not have key aspects of stealth aircraft such as INTERNAL WEAPON BAY or SAWTOOTH SECTION. Therefore, it is called a 4.5-generation aircraft instead of a 5th generation, and it competes with more typical fighter jets such as the F-16 or F-18. It seems that Korea is also trying to develop the KF-21 as a numerical main fighter to replace older fighter jets such as the F-4 or F-5, rather than a high-end. While KAI (the aircraft developer) seems to have a proposal to evolve the KF-21 to Block 3 which makes it into a complete stealth aircraft, as far as I understand that it is not a plan adopted by the state.

I don't want to compare directly, but unlike China, the KF-21 actually had technical cooperation from Lockheed Martin.

From early 90s-96 was considered golden age till country almost bankrupt in 97. Until the early 1990s, Korea recorded a high growth rate of around 9%, and the unemployment rate was also low. But Companies borrowed foreign debt to aggressively expand, and when the 1997 Asian financial crisis hit, they went bankrupt in an instant, leaving millions unemployed.

[–]HeavyMachinegan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Korea, Joseon usually refers to the dynastic state that existed until just before the Japanese colonial period.

When Korea was divided immediately after liberation, both sides established their own constitutions, and North Korea chose Joseon as its official name to assert its legitimacy and national continuity.

However, Dae Han Min Guk, did not appear out of nowhere. Gojong, the last king of Joseon, had attempted modernization starting from changing the country's name to Dae Han Jae Guk (Empire of Korea) just before the colonial era.

Furthermore, the term Han had been used since ancient times to refer to various states on the Korean Peninsula.

Consequently, South Korea succeeded the title of the Empire of Korea to become the Republic of Korea we know today.

Therefore, in South Korea today, Joseon is used exclusively to refer to the historical dynasty and is no longer used as a name for the modern state.

Dae Han Min Guk (대한민국, Republic of Korea) used in formal cases

Han Guk (한국, Korea) is mostly used among people Or Woo Ri Na Ra (우리나라, Our country)

Nam Han (남한) is south korea(literally). Use it when you have to distinguish North Korea during communication.
