This... nearly looks like an impossible plan.

Korean Aircraft Carrier Experimental (KCVX)






Is this for real? Not an abandoned CVF design or something?

Wow! Looks very interesting and very "different", but above all very impractical. Would hate to think about all the aircraft that will crash into the forward island.

[Ambassador]

This looks like a more pragmatic design... it looks as useful as the Juan Carlos class of Spain or Cavour class of Italy.



I think a ship of this size (displacement of 35,000 tons, but dunno if it's full or empty) does more closely fit the relative industrial and economic capacities of Korea, roughly between Spain's and Italy's. However, it also seems that Korea needs more guided-missile ships, ASW ships, and submarines than an aircraft carrier right now, given its most immediate military threats... still, this type of aircraft carrier is a lot cheaper than the KDX-III. Juan Carlos class of Spain cost $460 million as opposed to KDX-III's $920 million, roughly half the price. Makes you wonder which hardware among those two (a medium-sized aircraft carrier or a super-sized guided-missile destroyer) is more helpful in so-called 'keeping up with the Joneses'. Japan, India, China, Brazil, big EU countries... they all have or are going to possess an aircraft carrier or two soon. The lack of a full-fledged aircraft carrier exposes the inferiority complex of the ROK Navy, having no proper device to exercise its force projection capability around the world. Well, blame Best Korea. Things would have been so much better if Best Korea just became even better...

Korea is using 70 KA-32 helicopters for CSAR, firefighting, and maritime patrol. It's the largest user of KA-32 helicopters outside Russia. ROKMC is showing strong interest in inducting them for its independent air wings as an alternative to the Surion. KA-32 is very affordable and very powerful as utility and transport helicopters.

K-ATGM

The day India's minister of defense visited KAI:

[Ambassador]

T-50 production line:












Caption said this was FA-50.

[Ambassador]

Ok, this is an old news, but this ugly thing you see here... is the 'alternative' to attack Surion.




That thing did make a lot of concerned people who saw it boiling with murderous intent, I tell you.

There are two other helicopters you can see to the sides. Those are what we want Surion to become.

K-ATGM - very interesting any details ? range , penetration

[Ambassador]

K-ATGM will have a tandem warhead, 1000mm penetration on an ERA-equipped tank, 2.5 km effective range, and have a combined weight of below 25 kg (missile, launcher, and fire control device combined).

I don't know if this is the correct picture showing K-ATGM's electro-optical guidance, or another weapon's, but that seems to be Seoul and the Han River that I'm looking at.



K-ATGM has both ground-skimming and high-dive attack options. It's shown in the catalog above.

Hm... upon closer examination, I suspect that that picture's actually meant to describe some irate person's satiric photoshopped black-and-white perspective of Seoul, with a PGM's HUD superimposed on it, pointing at a government building. Kadrun, what's your judgment?

[dtacs]

I had the honor of having a beer with the captain in the 'situation room' when it was docked at Garden Island (Sydney), a very fine vessel indeed

[Kadrun]

well, retard people are retard

[Kadrun]

F-15K 041, 042, 043 arrived to Korea.

That is the South Korea National Assembly Building.

[Ambassador]

No worries. We have plenty of AAA/SAMs to shoot those flying leftist bastards with. Our great leaders will be fine in their domed playground as if nothing ever happened.








versus:




You should be glad these Russian toys can't fly so high up. Or maybe not.

Do you have anymore information or photos of the helicopter on the far left? Looks very interesting.
