Eurofighter or F-15?
Korea’s decision to buy only 40 F-35 Lightning IIs leaves Boeing and the European Aeronautic Defense and Space Company (EADS) in competition to win a follow-up contract for 20 more aircraft.
According to the Defense Acquisition Program Administration (DAPA), the first delivery of the F-35 is due in 2018 and the deployment of the additional 20 aircraft from 2023 is likely to be decided in 2017.
“The split-buy is necessary for budgetary reasons, but I think it makes sense because we have yet to see an F-35 actually enter frontline service,” said James Hardy, Asia-Pacific editor of IHS Jane’s Defense Weekly.
“Given the Korean Air Force’s pending capability gap owing to the retirement of older types and the arrival of the F-35 in 2018, I feel the Eurofighter and F-15 are key contenders for the 20 aircraft requirement,” said Greg Waldron, Asia managing editor of FlightGlobal.
Lee Hee-woo, president of the ILS Research Institute, said that Korea should have picked 20 aircraft that are able to be deployed immediately ahead of choosing 40 stealth jets.

Lee Hee-woo, president of the ILS Research Institute: “In terms of serving as an immediate threat, the Eurofighter has a better chance to get the contract for 20 additional aircraft.”
Richard Aboulafia, vice president of Teal Group, said that the F-15 would be a better choice.
Waldron [FlightGlobal] said: “Of the three contenders, the Eurofighter is likely to be the most open to technology transfer, but this must be weighed against the Typhoon’s lack of commonality with the rest of the Air Force fleet.”
