CVX Reportedly Left Out Of South Korea’s 2023 Defense Budget

Dong-A Ilbo, a major South Korean newspaper, reported on August 26th that funding for CVX, the country’s aircraft carrier program, has been axed in the 2023 national defense budget. [...] According to the report, which has since been deleted, the tentative budget for 2023 makes no mention of CVX at all, effectively putting an end to the program for the foreseeable future. Other articles released by major domestic news outlets at around the same time did not specifically mention the budget itself, but still cast doubt on the program. Chosun Ilbo reported that CVX is facing a “reevaluation.” [...]

President Yoon Suk-yeol’s new government has been less enthusiastic, postponing the bidding process for the ship which had been scheduled for earlier this year. In July, the government confirmed that themilitary will acquire 20 more F-35As, rather than the short takeoff and vertical landing-capable F-35B, putting the future of the program in question.
