>>20032426> According to the South Korean Ministry of National Defense and the Defense Acquisition Program Administration (DAPA), the government’s budget proposal for the next year submitted to the National Assembly does not include a budget for the CVX program. Although the Blueprint states that the CVX project will be pursued, it is accompanied by a clause stipulating further discussion based on the results of the ongoing research which results are expected early next year.> The key focus of the research is to explore the feasibility and associated costs of equipping the aircraft carrier with the KF-21N, a naval variant of the indigenous KF-21 fighter developed and undergoing final tests at the Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI).Ladyboy, ROK cancelled the 40,000 ton medium carrier project because their defense analyst realized it was too small and the F35B (the shitty version) has significant flaws. Instead they are pursuing a 70k to 80k proper aircraft carrier loaded with KF-21N batch 3 5th gen fighters, the carrier version of the KF-21...the ROK strategic plan already has the proper carrier to be completed by 2030
The jap 19.5k carrier is a joke and there are many countries that have helicopter carriers to include South Korea
