>South Korea has approved a major step in its KF‑21 Boramae fighter jet program with fresh contracts worth a combined 2.22 trillion won (nearly $1.65 billion) awarded to Hanwha Aerospace and Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI) by the Defense Acquisition Program Administration (DAPA).Hanwha Aerospace signed a follow-up deal worth 623.2 billion won ($459 million) to supply over 80 F414 engines for the first mass production batch of KF‑21 fighters. This follows a previous contract worth 556.2 billion won ($410 million) signed last year, bringing the total value of the engine deal to 1.1794 trillion won ($860 million). Deliveries will continue through December 2028.The agreement includes full logistics support, including spare parts, maintenance manuals, and on-site technical services. The F414 engines are built using heat-resistant, lightweight materials designed to perform in extreme combat environments.In support of the engine program, Hanwha recently completed a 16,529-square-meter smart factory, funded by a 40 billion won ($29 million) investment, to produce F414 engines and develop future propulsion technologies.Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI) also signed a new contract with DAPA valued at 2.39 trillion won ($1.76 billion) to deliver an additional 20 KF‑21 jets. This builds on a previous 1.96 trillion won ($1.44 billion) agreement signed in June 2024 for the first batch of 20 aircraft, completing the 40-jet order.
