>Meanwhile Korea actually serial builds stuff instead of making vague claims
That's literally the KF-21 project in a nutshell, you literally haven't even started LRIP, but only have prototypes. KAI keeps claiming that future iteration of the KF-21 will have this and that without even having an history of being able to deliver of less complex stuff (even with the help of the US).
From the start the X-2 prototype was meant to be a study testbed for a future program that afterward merged into GCAP, but don't be mistaken, the X-2 prototype is more advanced that anything the koreans have shown and promised with the KF-21, it's not even a contest. While little korea likes to larp with a 4th gen, Japan is looking at a true 6th gen. This makes koreans seethe as for some retarded reason they have unwarranted animosity against Japan.
>Compare a F-16 BLOCK 72 to a F-2 and you will see why it’s better.
Now compare the date of rollout of a F-2 and a block 72 F-16.
>End of the day there is a reason why nobody even knows Toshiba, Panasonic or any of those companies while everybody knows Samsung and LG. Just roll over already, unc.
Are you for real?

in its current LRIP state it can do almost no precision A/G roles has zero SD, EW capabilites but It wants to larp as 4.5/5th gen but it has zero sensor fusion (not even RWR/HUD which we can find in 80s jets) and has no DAS nor DASS.
It's quite literally the promise of a dream that will never come. A literal F-16D or V is miles ahead in operational capabilities and considering the size, lack of IWB (which is the last of their issues, gookshill please don't start spamming the IWB allocation for block 5000) need to mount an external pod like every other 4th gen etc, it would most likely also have a bigger rcs.
