Is that sarcrasm?
If the Iraqis wanted to rearm their air force, approaching the French might be a good answer. If they’re out of the game, then most definitely Russians. The Su-series would be a decent threat to anyone’s air defense, and it also provides fair bit of air-to-ground capability.
For training, well if relationship wasn’t an issue, I would suggest the Indians, but that’s probably out of the question. Maybe two-part training program to Pakistan and either China or Russia. The Russians’s didn’t provide whole lot of training before, so why should they be trusted to train pilots properly this time? Can’t tell much about Chinese training standards and their tactical training, so maybe learn to fly the jets in Russia, but receive advanced training in Pakistan.
KD2 does not seem to have the Nixie.
I don’t see the usual deployment port no, but LPX has a pair.
Of course KDX-3 will carry torpedo countermeasures. It just won’t have the Black Dragon TASS installed. Stupid, but money problems. It might change once there is some breathing room in the funding, but from what I’ve heard, KDX-3 won’t have a TASS.
Atago, I haven’t a clue. I heard it won’t, but that seems odd, even if Atago is a primarily AAW ship.
I haven’t got a clear indication of that either. This might be like Murasame/Takanami thing where either really works. The project name, I believe, was Heisei 14 DDG, also known as Improved Kongou, or Kongou II program in military circles.
” 12 C-5 ”
Why would Korea need Galaxies ?
Or is this a wishlist ? 🙂
Wishlist more or less. South Korea will begin to increase international participation with both ground and naval forces around the world. There is a limit to how much you can go with a medium transport. C-5 will be very helpful for that, but it’s a luxury item, not necessity.

HAHA TRUST Me the way these NEW WORLD ORDERISTS are going there not going to draft any one in there US ARMY they’ll go with there remaining 450K troops.
Fine, the person very much likely to die. Hey it’s WWIII, how long do you think it will remain conventional?
The first answer got you the number of Es, C/Ds and A/Bs if you gave it a bit (just enough to clash two brain-cells together) of thought.
Why would Singapore, a very solid F-16 operator, want a fighter that’s about 80% of the price and capability?
I think they’ll jump from advanced trainers to real fighters with simulators to fill the gap.
Modern? Or historically?
I think it’s Harrier either way, but I can’t be really sure about that.
You know the little history on Koksan gun that they’re somewhat based on old Russian 170mm coastal artillery? They used the ballistic chart of the gun and lengthened the barrel.
Soho doesn’t leave North Korean shore, most likely a bit afriad of being harrassed by a bunch of American, Japanese, Korean airplanes, against which it has no defense.
Cave launching bases? Quite real as far as the combined command is concerned. It’s also a standard North Korean tactic to hide behind island’s shadow and pop out at a close range.
Who said Godzilla was on North Korean pay roll.
Well, I have yet to see a Gojira rampaging through Pyoung Yang….
