@GTX : And the pace is accelerating: two helicopters, one stealth fighter and the variety of projects that we have here, some quite original breaking the molds of design.
A stealth fighter is something, for example, that Europe has yet to achieve in its entirety (minoring UK and Italy participation in the F-35 for the purpose of simplicity). This is what I wanted to underline comparing the Korean population by nbr with that of other countries.

Not to detract from anything but KF-21 is more of a "stealthly looking" fighter than a stealth fighter. What is actually better than Typhoon/Rafale/Gripen?

^ you gotta admit, they've been making a lot better progress than the Indian aerospace industry in a number of areas.. even though both are using off the shelf equipment (often foreign parts) for many of these aircraft.
