According to Yonhap News Agency on October 17th, the 2023 Seoul International Aerospace and Military Industry Exhibition (referred to as "Seoul Air Show") opened at Seoul Airport in Gyeonggi do City on the 17th. At this airshow, the KF-21, a South Korean fighter jet, made its debut to the public. According to the report, the biennial Seoul Air Show is celebrating its 14th session this year, with a 6-day exhibition period. The exhibitor, exhibition area, and number of visitors have all set new historical highs. The number of exhibits has increased to over 100. Han Jun's KF-21 Falcon fighter jet, F-35A Lightning II fighter jet, F-15K fighter jet, FA-50 light attack aircraft, as well as the US military's F-22 Raptor fighter jet, EA-18G Growler electronic fighter jet, and U-2 reconnaissance aircraft will participate in the exhibition. The world's most powerful electronic warfare aircraft, the EA-18G, has been unveiled in Korea for the first time. On the 16th, Yonhap News Agency reported that before the opening of the Seoul Air Show, the domestically produced South Korean fighter jet KF-21 made its debut at a media day event on the 16th. According to the report, the KF-21 developed by Korean Aerospace Industry Corporation conducted an aerial demonstration at Seoul Air Force Base in Chengnan City. Advanced US aircraft, including the F-22 stealth fighter jet and the carrier based EA-18G Growler electronic warfare aircraft, are on display at the airport of this air force base. According to the organizers, this year's event will be the largest since its inception in 1996, involving 550 companies from 35 countries and regions. South Korean companies plan to showcase the latest weapon systems and technologies, hoping to promote more defense exports after reaching a large-scale export agreement with Poland. According to the report, according to data from Morgan Stanley, South Korea's weapons exports reached a record $17.9 billion last year, as it signed a large contract with Poland to provide K2 tanks, K-9 self-propelled howitzers, FA-50 light attack aircraft, and "Tianwu" multi barrel rocket launchers.
