Zitat:Next-Generation Fighter Jets to Debut in 2009
The Defense Ministry said on Thursday (May 26) that it will launch a multi-trillion-won project for purchasing next-generation fighter jets starting from 2009, as part of its mid-term arms procurement plan.
In a report on the policy programs between 2006 and 2010 to President Roh Moo-hyun, Defense Minister Yoon Kwang-ung said his ministry will spend 5.6 trillion won ($5.6 billion) to buy next-generation fighter jets in the current fighter acquisition program, dubbed the “F-X Project,” which will end in 2008.
"We have not yet decided on the type of jet fighters to be introduced, but F-15Ks might be excluded due to financial burdens, said Nam Dong-kyun, director of the arms acquisition project.
The ministry also plans to launch about 20 weapons acquisition projects, including the purchase of Airborne Warning and Control System (AWACS) surveillance aircraft, SAM-X anti-aircraft missiles and satellite-guided Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM) missiles, between 2006 and 2010.
A total of 800 billion won will be used to purchase these sophisticated weapons, Nam said.
