What many analysts leave out is that South Korea's weapons development could not have happened if they didn't have core industries already in place. Yes, South Korea makes high quality tanks, self-propelled artillery and armored personnel vehicles but before all that South Korea made world class cars, trains, ships and construction equipment. That allows a country to have the infrastructure, the engineering base and technological base to make high quality tanks, APCs and SPHs. South Korea manufactures competitive missiles, smart bombs and radars but that's because they have a highly competitive electronics and semiconductor industrial base. South Korea makes good submarines, frigates and destroyers? Well, they have a world leading shipbuilding industry too. This is something that a country like India forgets. You cannot make world class tanks, armored vehicles or submarines if you have none of the already existing civilian manufacturing infrastructure that your defense industry can feed off of. You have to start with the basics before you have the ability to create a well developed and sustainable military industrial complex. None of this is easy and requires DECADES of sustainable focus and buy-in from both government and the populace to build something stable, but incremental, over time to realize results after 40, 30 and 20 years into the future.
You are right. (1) SK has the technology, STEM and industry base (2) SK just bench-marks the trend of the US weapons and its development orientation (3) SK picks the target (within the present or potential reach of its capability) and optimizes the product concept (4) very rapid and economic R&D and extensive testing ... Let me elaborate a little on the point (2)... First example. The US began developing 'all-in-one' electronic fuse for 155 mm shells, in 2022... SK has started developing the equivalent in 2024.... And SK will combine this all-in-one electronic fuse with anti-jamming-capable trajectory-modifying fuse into one piece, within the target cost for R&D and for mass production. Second example. The US Navy succeeded in developing a new generation of anti-radar missile (AARGM-ER) in 2021. The US Air Force was so impressed that it began upgrading this anti-rada supersonic missile (propelled by a solid fuel ramjet) to all-purpose version (SiAW) in 2022. One of the greatest differences is in the seeker. The Air Force version added infrared. SK began developing air-launched supersonic missile. AARGM-ER or SiAW is slightly off the reach of SK's capabilities since it involves a very high technological barrier. Still SK decides to go with it in 2023 for its indigenous fighter, KF-21. And SK just wants to skip the AARGM-ER and seems to have made the all-purpose model(SiAW) as its target. It will take about 10 years, But if SK succeeds in developing a comparable one, it will reach a higher level of supersonic cruise missile technology. Third example. In a sense, KF-21, the indigenous model, looks like an upgraded Super Hornet with twin-engined F-22 form factor. The F-35 has the single engine fuselage, which limits its internal space. The US ditched the idea of a 'twin engine stealth' fighter when it decided to retire the F-22. South Korea, with the consultation from Lockeed Martin, picked up this twin engine structure. One of the reasons is that anyway there is little chance for South Korea to have the bargaining power to procure the state-of-art (TIT temperature exceeds 1900 degree celsius) engine from the US. (If you cannot buy a powerful one for a single engine structure, you can use two of less-powerful engines..).. But here kicks in the real trick. South Korea has the technology to optimize the fuselage, using all sorts of brand new high-tech materials such as carbon fiber and 'glue'. The current version's internal fuel tank can carry 6.6 ton of fuel. Still there is 'hidden(extra)' 6 metric meter space within the fuselage.For a 4.5 gen fighter, this extra space can be used for fuel tank, making KF-21 with 'the longest internal-fuel-only range' . For a 5 gen variant, this extra space can be used as the internal weapon bay. In short, fuselage technology together with electronics/sensors/chips has revived F-22's twin-engine structure. South Korea (as this episode aptly pointed) is on the crossroad in this ever-more-becoming-polarized world. It has the potential and capability to become the arsenal of the West, even surpassing France, especially several years after KF-21 reaches the IOC(initial operational capability) stage in 2027, I suppose. But can South Korea cope with this dangerous business? Beijing is less than 1,000 kw away from Seoul. What would be the response of China as South Korea is arming itself with the most sophisticated indigenous Missile Defense? With terrifying Diesel-AIP-Lithium submarines with 4,000 ton displacement and with (non-nuke) ballistic missile tubes? (Three-month submerge.. though it is slower than a nuclear-powered sub, it is much quieter... ideal for ambush around the Peninsula)... Thousands of intermediate range non-nuke ballistic/cruise missiles covering almost all of China... with high-end UAVs such as long-endurance ISR and attack model, or unmanned stealth fighter model, or stealth flying-wing model.... a few tens of medium weight reconnaissance satellites (Electro-Optical or Infra-Red or SAR) and hundreds ( a constellation) of very small SAR satellites. ... How will China respond? One thing is clear. South Korea has not chosen to destabilize this region. It is China, by arming North Korea with nukes and ballistic missiles, who started the chicken game involving the US, South Korea and Japan. And when it comes to a chicken game, South Koreans are masters. Since this country is a free republic, it is no big deal if the President gets nuked. There are many, many 'somebody-else's' who can run the country. But North Korea and China are different. The state exists for the top echelon of the party and for the leader. China cannot go on as the present polity if this upper crust is crushed. An all-in game has started. Freedom and independence are our choice. War and peace are their choice. Meanwhile, South Koreans cannot help developing and producing very, very terrifying (non-nuke) stuff.

For last 30 years, major European arms exporting countries (France, Germany, UK, Italy, Spain) reduced their defense spendings and weapon development. But South Korea maintained its defense spending, weapon development and investment. France maintained its arms export with Rafale fighter jet. Russia and China use Russian standard weapons. SK become one of the largest suppliers of NATO standard weapons ranging from small arms to fighter jet or submarine. Western weapons are generally expensive for smaller counties. But Korean weapons are quite affordable and reliable as SUV cars from Hyundai or Kia. She will be 4-th largest arms exporter in few years, surpassing China. No wonder considering that South Korea is major exporter of automobile, electronics, smartphone, semiconductor, and shipbuilding.
Military weapons systems are not profitable. Western countries have been divesting where they can. Many companies don’t have customers outside of their own government and don’t want to expand production. The military industry is a huge drag on the economy.
@@bourbonlover7158 The big numbers make people think that there are big profits, but that is just ignorance. Margins are getting squeezed even more because of Ukraine. Countries see Ukraine getting $100 Billions in free weapons, so what is the incentive to purchase. There are headlines of large sales, but they are almost always at near 0 interest rates and often include supplemental systems given at no or low cost. Poland is already trying to pull out of some of the Korean purchases.
@@EMateoEEven US have more slum than China because they spend so much money trying to be a world cop, Indonesia have a good relationship with China and they refused to host the US base on the soil and they have smaller slum than both India and Philippines who are trying to be a local regional cops.
@@laosasean8482 It's funny how you 'wumaos' always try to include U.S. in every discussion. China is one of the Biggest Pollutants in the world. The world only wants to trade w/ china because of cheap labor and Goods, but everybody knows that China is a Regional Bully and Engages in Economic Coercion, Bullying and Intimidation. Indonesia also has a good relationship w/ US thru joint military Training, Partnership..etc. coz they know that China is their #1 regional threat. China also has a lot of poor people, and people who doesn't have any voice bec. of their Evil government.
Territory wise, Korea is size of England, Italy, or Germany. These territory size nations represent majority of nations around the world. Only large state that is much larger and live in 1st world economy is USA, while China is largest 3rd world nation with record of poor quality and poor knockoff copies, and for this reason Chinese weapons don’t sell; even Pakistan, strong ally of China, is very reserved buying Chinese weapons. Knockoffs haves limits to export markets.
China is 3rd world? That doesn't sound right when regular Chinese has luxury car, incredible apartment, and bank account one would only look at with envy, and has some of the biggest cities in the world, that are globally leading in terms of Infrastructure, economic development, size, fast traffics and Chinese and their power isn't going down , but up, So can you explain how it is just one 3rd world country comparable to east European nations, lot of America and Africa? Also you think they wouldn't be able to get their hands on some powerful weapons when they are the largest industrialists in the world while also possessing impressive amount of nuclear power?
@@NootNootMdf do you know what "3rd world" mean? Just because a country has some advanced technological sectors and thriving major cities, this does not make a country a first world country (democracy, freedom of press, high standards of living, independent judiciary etc.).. China is simply an authoritarian developing country that may never get out the middle income trap..
So the Aldi of the defense world with free shipping of technology. Once the kf-21 jet is in full production they will probably break into the top 3 exporters.
US Army allows ammunitions from 2 countries for its use. S Korean PMC and Israeli IMI. NATO including the US is using S Korean 155mm artillery rounds to fill their storage after sending their rounds to Ukraine. S Korean weapons are reliable and cheaper than the West.

North korea is struggling to stay relevant while South Korean moved on, that’s why North Korea always launching missiles to grab international attention.
Even when China suffered a crushing defeat and fell to Mongolia, it was the small country of Korea that held on for over 30 years. China distorts history and pretends that Mongolia is Chinese history, but the original country was originally founded by Mongolia. China, which is mostly ruled by other peoples, distorts history as if that history is theirs. China's history is simply a history of defeat and domination.
China does not need to be worried,, The only country is worry will be the United States, South Korea is eating a big piece of Americas cakes. America rely heavily on selling weapons. Now is losing profits
I see the Devil of this world. That Devil does not come in bright red suit and a pitch fork. That Devil comes preaching "freedom, democracy and human rights".
This report say " ...HOSTILE countries like North Korea, China, JAPAN (?!?!?!?!?!)...". Since when in Japan a hostile nation ? Poor reporting. Very poor.
from Korean perspective, Japan is a potential enemy due to historical reason. Japan & Korea also has some unresolved teritorial dispute which may cause a conflict in the future.
Its the US thats extremely worried about Koreas sudden n rapid military industrial growth as this will cannibalise US military industrial complex revenues
12 billion in arm weapon sales is nothing compared to Russian china and US s Korea manufacturer on electric and auto is down so they need to sell something else but weapon technology is way behind tank is cheaper but air force and advanced jet is where the profit at.
While south koreans have successfully developed a full fledge defense industry , the indians on the other hand still imports 70% of its weapons despite getting thrashed by chinese in 1962 and losing thousands of soldiers and land. Indians also now buying a lot of weapons from south koreans😂
Yeah so what, what is laughable about it. Every country has its own pace and laughing about 1962 war ....... Can i laugh about china when Imperial Japan invaded it.
@@sourabhthakur6064 I will have the last laugh kid. I will tell you why. 😂 The chinese were united in fighting the imperial japanese army and finally managed to expel them. But on other side, indians were colonised by imperial British for 250 years . The indians were not divided but divided along religion, caste and race. The worst part is many indians worked for british as cheap labourers and mercenary soldiers. The indian soldiers massacred their own people under the white British orders. The indian mutiny against the British failed because the Indians were not united where some soldiers revolted and others were loyal to their white masters. Indians should be shamed for themselves for not united and killing their own kind under the order of foreign masters. The lal bagh massacre in delhi is good example. It was reported some 3 million indian soldiers fought for colonial masters not for liberating india but to expand the imperial British rule over other countries. 😂
@@sourabhthakur6064 do you want to discuss 250 years of British enslavement of indians. How about 300 years of brutal moghul rule on india and another 300 years of rule by delhi sultanate? What a great indian history 😂
Korea does not trust Japan. This is a nation that always betrays. The country that knows Japan best is Korea. Japan is inherently faithless. It is a culture that is not ashamed of being faithless. Korea and Japan have completely different ethnicities.
Philippines is highly interested with the KF21 Boramae & the Gripen E. It will be a tough fight between SAAB & KAI for the 40 units of multi-role fighter jet contract from the Philippines...
No they can't.. When the real deal happens.. Its not only the hightech weqpons that counts.. But manpower to man it.. Men to do obersvation and most of all men to fight down and dirty.. South Korea deosnt have that.
I don't know about this country if they really manufactured better weaps. than other asians despite china& Russia.{obsolete products} Yah i can tell that we bought some of Korean arsenals but no results still in real actions so i still dont bow unto it
CHINA OUTNUMBERED 16 MILITARY FORCES WHICH INCLUDES THE U.S & SOUTH KOREA IN THE KOREAN WAR AND WON. THOSE WHO NOT LEARN FROM HISTORY IS BOUND TO REPEAT IT AGAIN.
No, it didn't. The Chinese and Commie NK attacked the SK then the US-led UN intervention began. Stop lying. It ended in a stalemate. South Korea is way more successful crappy NK.
The title of this video is misleading, for it is a click-bait. But SOKO's chance of exporting more weapons than China might be feasible-although I highly doubt. Eastern Europe and the Middle East have been buying Korean weapons. And the Koreans are fiercely marketing their goods in Africa, where Chinese weapons are dominant. The future of SOKO's arms industry lies on Africa, in which many countries are using Chinese arms except Senegal and a few.
The tone last more like a loser. South Korea survived in that war and responded well to become a leading industrial countries when China’s ally, North Korea degraded into poorest in the world.

Will these weapons outlast a KIA? Is there a warranty?
Of the top 10 arms exporters in the world, 8 are western democracies. 40% of the world's arms exports are made in the USA.
north korea says hello😂
North korea is struggling to stay relevant while South Korean moved on, that’s why North Korea always launching missiles to grab international attention.

Even when China suffered a crushing defeat and fell to Mongolia, it was the small country of Korea that held on for over 30 years.
China distorts history and pretends that Mongolia is Chinese history, but the original country was originally founded by Mongolia.
China, which is mostly ruled by other peoples, distorts history as if that history is theirs.
China's history is simply a history of defeat and domination.
yes south korea's product have good quality compared to chinese thats the main reason 😢😢😢😢
Small correction: India is south asia not south east asia and Australia is european country not asian
Australia is oceanic country, don t confuse with Austria
Australia is European? Lol
It seems like a lot of Chinese people are leaving comments here.
China does not need to be worried,, The only country is worry will be the United States, South Korea is eating a big piece of Americas cakes. America rely heavily on selling weapons. Now is losing profits
OH Boy, what a load of bull !!!
that is the truth . Korea-small country but good engineering unlike the “COPIER” that COPIES only Ha Ha Ha !
I see the Devil of this world. That Devil does not come in bright red suit and a pitch fork. That Devil comes preaching "freedom, democracy and human rights".
This report say "
...HOSTILE countries like North Korea, China, JAPAN (?!?!?!?!?!)...".
Since when in Japan a hostile nation ?
Poor reporting. Very poor.
from Korean perspective, Japan is a potential enemy due to historical reason. Japan & Korea also has some unresolved teritorial dispute which may cause a conflict in the future.
They are very hostile to each other. And Korean navy's potential enemy is Japan.
Godzilla
Japanese were always backstabbers. You never know what they will do.
Democracy is protected by Korea. The arsenal of democracy.
The product in South Korea are good quality follow from Japan
That's old news. SK is producting better stuff now. Sony era is over.
Love from North Korea.
Of course in your dream. We severely lack people who run those armament system.
Its the US thats extremely worried about Koreas sudden n rapid military industrial growth as this will cannibalise US military industrial complex revenues
12 billion in arm weapon sales is nothing compared to Russian china and US s Korea manufacturer on electric and auto is down so they need to sell something else but weapon technology is way behind tank is cheaper but air force and advanced jet is where the profit at.
While south koreans have successfully developed a full fledge defense industry , the indians on the other hand still imports 70% of its weapons despite getting thrashed by chinese in 1962 and losing thousands of soldiers and land.
Indians also now buying a lot of weapons from south koreans😂
you are forgetting level & size .
@@Infinity_movies you should elaborate more.
Yeah so what, what is laughable about it. Every country has its own pace and laughing about 1962 war ....... Can i laugh about china when Imperial Japan invaded it.
@@sourabhthakur6064 I will have the last laugh kid. I will tell you why. 😂
The chinese were united in fighting the imperial japanese army and finally managed to expel them.
But on other side, indians were colonised by imperial British for 250 years . The indians were not divided but divided along religion, caste and race.
The worst part is many indians worked for british as cheap labourers and mercenary soldiers.
The indian soldiers massacred their own people under the white British orders.
The indian mutiny against the British failed because the Indians were not united where some soldiers revolted and others were loyal to their white masters.
Indians should be shamed for themselves for not united and killing their own kind under the order of foreign masters.
The lal bagh massacre in delhi is good example.
It was reported some 3 million indian soldiers fought for colonial masters not for liberating india but to expand the imperial British rule over other countries. 😂
@@sourabhthakur6064 do you want to discuss 250 years of British enslavement of indians.
How about 300 years of brutal moghul rule on india and another 300 years of rule by delhi sultanate?
What a great indian history 😂
Japan and South Korea are not enemies, but nice try there, buddy.
Study your history on Japanese occupation of Korea.
This isn't this isn't WW2, GTFOH. Currently, Japan is not a threat to South Korea. GTFOH.@@sparc4ux
Korea does not trust Japan. This is a nation that always betrays. The country that knows Japan best is Korea. Japan is inherently faithless. It is a culture that is not ashamed of being faithless. Korea and Japan have completely different ethnicities.
The sentiment is still there
Sentiment doesn't mean enemies.@@deidresable
Now the president is busy rehersing "AmericanPie" rather than managing his country,the father of boyband🤭
Of course, they can't...what kind of question is this?
You cannot purchase the KF-21 without US or British approval.
When it comes down to FA50, it is. KF 21 is not. KF21's AESA is manufactured made by Hanwha and LIG NexOne.
이사람은 생각이 바르지 않습니다, 아마 깽판을 치거나 여론을 파괴하기 위하여 댓글을 다는 부류라고 봅니다.
This chinese guy is spreading the lies.
KF-21 is neary all made in S Korea with K-technology. There are already many interests from air force around the world.
@@sinnopal1at least you no how things are being run,can you say it out loud, maybe your not free,just like your parents parent.
Haha, good joke😂
Too much component in SK weapons system are from USA.
Korean men 👌
Western media propaganda
India is importer country from South Korea
Philippines is highly interested with the KF21 Boramae & the Gripen E. It will be a tough fight between SAAB & KAI for the 40 units of multi-role fighter jet contract from the Philippines...
Simple answer it cant
love china from India

South Korea waiving north korea rocket man lol,,
No they can't.. When the real deal happens.. Its not only the hightech weqpons that counts.. But manpower to man it.. Men to do obersvation and most of all men to fight down and dirty.. South Korea deosnt have that.
answer: No
I don't know about this country if they really manufactured better weaps. than other asians despite china& Russia.{obsolete products}
Yah i can tell that we bought some of Korean arsenals but no results still in real actions so i still dont bow unto it

Hello how are you lm from San Felipe in puerto plata dominicana Republican dominicana 🇩🇴
Hola
CHINA OUTNUMBERED 16 MILITARY FORCES WHICH INCLUDES THE U.S & SOUTH KOREA IN THE KOREAN WAR AND WON. THOSE WHO NOT LEARN FROM HISTORY IS BOUND TO REPEAT IT AGAIN.
No, it didn't. The Chinese and Commie NK attacked the SK then the US-led UN intervention began. Stop lying. It ended in a stalemate. South Korea is way more successful crappy NK.
The title of this video is misleading, for it is a click-bait. But SOKO's chance of exporting more weapons than China might be feasible-although I highly doubt. Eastern Europe and the Middle East have been buying Korean weapons. And the Koreans are fiercely marketing their goods in Africa, where Chinese weapons are dominant. The future of SOKO's arms industry lies on Africa, in which many countries are using Chinese arms except Senegal and a few.
get your facts straight here en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_spring_offensive
The tone last more like a loser. South Korea survived in that war and responded well to become a leading industrial countries when China’s ally, North Korea degraded into poorest in the world.
@@weipeng4425 But as China's strength increases, North Korea will also unify South Korea. South Korea is a colony of the United States and has no sovereignty.
😂😂😂
North Korea is better.😂
Outgun China? Just like in the Korean war? Not a chance.
@davidyu3815 The Korean War ended in a draw if you were living under a rock for the past century.

To achieve that the will have to turn every inch of south Korea into a military production area,which is impossible to achieve given that young people in most of this countries don't want to get their hands dirty working with machine tools,when you can take up a white collar job that allows to party and enjoy yourself.

Never
South Korea produced conventional weaponry , China produced state of the art weaponry with high technology mostly for own used and few for exports.
