Seoul and Abu Dhabi strengthen defense cooperation and military industries
On Wednesday, South Korea and the UAE discussed ways to enhance their cooperation in the defense and military industries sectors. This debate came during a meeting of the Guidance Committee at the level of deputy ministers, which gathered the South Korean Deputy Minister of Defense, "Lee de Hee" and his Emirati counterpart, Ibrahim Nasser Al -Alawi, in Seoul.
According to a statement issued by the South Korean Ministry of Defense, which was reported by Yonhap, the two sides exchanged views on major security issues, and they agreed to expand the scope of joint military exercises and individuals exchange programs. The two countries also pledged to seek a long -term partnership in the areas of manufacturing weapons, science and defense technology.
It should be noted that last April the two countries signed a letter of intent for comprehensive cooperation on a homemade "KF-21" fighter in South Korea. According to this agreement, the UAE Air Force will have the opportunity to follow up the air training of the fighter and visit the units that use it.
August 5, 2025: Korea Air Industries (KAI) revealed that the future version of the KF-21 fighter, which will be named KF-21EX, will be equipped with an internal weapons room.
This KF-21EX version is designed to carry out strikes against hostile targets in depth, taking advantage of the radar section (RCS) thanks to the integration of the interior weapons room.
KF-21EX was disclosed at an Air Force Conference in the South Korean city of Daijon on July 28. On this occasion, the company presented a detailed road map for the project under the title: “The KF-21 combat performance enhancement system and the integration of inspired-non-inspiring operation (Mum-T).”
This is the most comprehensive offer in terms of information announced by the public regarding the planned upgrades to be entered on the fighter known as "Boramae".
According to the company, the addition of the internal weapons room will require major structural changes in the plane, so that it can accommodate a wide range of ammunition, including the MBDA METEOR air to air missile, the Lig Nex1 Lraam missile, the GBU-39 small diameter bomb produced by Kai, and the relevant effects of the air (ALE), in addition to a grenade directed from the category of the category 2000 pounds are likely to be GBU-31 JDAM.
Estimates indicate that providing the fighter with this internal ability will make it closer to the abilities of the attack to the American F-35 Lightning II.
The KF-21EX is designed as a stealth fighter to work in the future along with self-guided aircraft known as the "Loyal Wingman".
As part of the development process, the new version will get improvements in the ability to survive, merge sensors data, and safe data links with self -operating platforms.
To this end, the KF-21EX will be provided with a reshaped cockpit ans a Low-RCS RADOME, and an optical targeting system (EOTS), And an evolved electronic warfare package, and new built-in antennas..
With these updates, the KF-21EX stealth fighter will move from the 4.5 generation fighter classification to the fifth generation fighter classification.
According to the company, this radar is the first locally produced AESA system designed specifically to merge it into the KF-21 multi-task fighter "Boramae"
Hanwha Systems indicated that it started developing the AESA radar in 2016, and revealed the first initial model in 2020, reflecting the development of local capabilities in radar engineering during a short period of time.
Hyuk Park, head of the defense electronics department at Hanwha Systems, said:
“We are the only company in Korea that have succeeded in developing, producing and exporting AESA radar systems. We are working to expand our global presence through radar solutions that can be developed for a wide range of platforms, from light fighters to drones.”

Countries with strategic defense ties with Korea have immediate access to Korea's latest weapons. Poland, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE are good examples. As I've posted before, they will have far better weapons first than South Korea.
