Now it wants its own long reach to go with it. On August 12, Korea Aerospace Industries and Hyundai Rotem signed a memorandum of understanding at KAI&rsquo;s Sacheon headquarters to jointly develop a domestic long-range air-to-air missile for the KF-21 Boramae \u2014 a weapon aimed squarely at the class defined by Europe&rsquo;s MBDA Meteor.<\/p>\r\n<p>The target specification is precise: a solid-fuel ducted ramjet missile reaching roughly 200 kilometres (124 miles) and a terminal speed near Mach 4 \u2014 with, its backers say, an AESA radar seeker the Meteor does not have. If it works, Seoul would join the very short list of nations able to build a ramjet-powered beyond-visual-range missile at all.<\/p>\r\n<div style=\"background:#f5f5f5;padding:20px;margin:22px 0;border-radius:8px;font-size:15px;line-height:1.7\"><strong>Datos r\u00e1pidos<\/strong><br>\u2022 <strong>Signed:<\/strong> MoU, KAI + Hyundai Rotem, Sacheon, August 12, 2026<br>\u2022 <strong>Meta:<\/strong> domestic long-range air-to-air missile (LRAAM) for the KF-21 Boramae<br>\u2022 <strong>Propulsi\u00f3n:<\/strong> solid-fuel ducted ramjet (throttleable, sustained high speed)<br>\u2022 <strong>Target performance:<\/strong> ~200 km range, ~Mach 4 terminal, AESA seeker<br>\u2022 <strong>Benchmark:<\/strong> MBDA Meteor (European ramjet BVR missile)<br>\u2022 <strong>Programa:<\/strong> part of Agency for Defense Development LRAAM effort, 2026&ndash;2033<br>\u2022 <strong>Estado:<\/strong> teaming MoU \/ bid &mdash; not an awarded contract<\/div>\r\n<h2 style=\"padding-top:22px\">Why a ramjet, not a rocket<\/h2>\r\n<p>Most air-to-air missiles are rocket-powered: they burn hard for a few seconds, then coast. By the time they reach a distant target they are slowing down, and their &ldquo;no-escape zone&rdquo; \u2014 the envelope from which a target cannot simply outrun the shot \u2014 has shrunk. A ducted ramjet keeps burning. It draws in air and sustains thrust across the flight, so the missile is still accelerating when a rocket motor would be dead.<\/p>\r\n<p>That is the Meteor&rsquo;s whole reason for existing, and it is what Korea is trying to match. The engineering is genuinely hard, which is why so few countries have fielded a ramjet BVR missile. Getting the intake, the throttleable gas generator and the seeker to work together is the difficult part \u2014 not the marketing brochure.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\" style=\"margin:0 0 24px;width:100%\"><img data-opt-id=805115568  fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"skip-lazy\" data-no-lazy=\"1\" loading=\"eager\" width=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/ml5psubhxdln.i.optimole.com\/cb:0e0_.b970\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/ig:avif\/https:\/\/migflug.com\/afterburner\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/08\/mbda-meteor-air-to-air-missile.jpg\" alt=\"MBDA Meteor air-to-air missile\" style=\"width:100%;height:auto;max-width:100%;display:block;border-radius:6px\"><figcaption style=\"font-size:13px;color:#777;text-align:center;margin-top:6px;font-style:italic\">The MBDA Meteor, Europe&rsquo;s ramjet-powered beyond-visual-range missile and the benchmark Seoul is aiming to match with a domestic design.

The KF-21 was designed to carry the Meteor, but relying on a foreign missile leaves Seoul dependent on European supply chains and export approvals \u2014 an awkward position for a country that wants to sell the KF-21 abroad as a complete, sovereign package. A home-built LRAAM removes that dependency and makes the fighter easier to export without third-party veto.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<div style=\"position:relative;padding-bottom:56.25%;height:0;overflow:hidden;margin:24px 0\"><iframe class=\"skip-lazy\" data-no-lazy=\"1\" loading=\"eager\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ppCXaSReMsE\" style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;border:0;border-radius:8px\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\r\n<h2 style=\"padding-top:22px\">A bid, not a done deal<\/h2>\r\n<p>One important caveat: this MoU does not award anything. South Korea&rsquo;s long-range missile effort is run by the Agency for Defense Development on a timeline stretching from 2026 to 2033, and the KAI&ndash;Hyundai Rotem pairing is one of at least three industry groupings manoeuvring for a role \u2014 LIG Nex1 and others are pushing competing packages. What was signed in Sacheon is an intent to combine forces and bid, not a signed production programme.<\/p>\r\n<p>Still, the direction is unmistakable. Having proven it can design a modern fighter, South Korea now intends to arm it with weapons of its own \u2014 and to stop asking anyone&rsquo;s permission to sell the result.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"font-size:13px\"><em>Sources: The Korea Times; Aerotime; Airforce Technology; Defence Security Asia; Seoul Economic Daily.<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n<div style=\"background:#f0f4ff;border-left:4px solid #5C91FF;padding:16px 20px;margin:32px 0 8px;border-radius:0 8px 8px 0\"><p style=\"margin:0 0 8px;font-weight:600;color:#333\">Publicaciones relacionadas<\/p><p style=\"margin:4px 0\"><a href=\"https:\/\/migflug.com\/afterburner\/es\/south-korea-kf-21-boramae-development-complete-2026\/\">Corea del Sur termina de construir su propio caza.<\/a><\/p><p style=\"margin:4px 0\"><a href=\"https:\/\/migflug.com\/afterburner\/es\/indonesia-lanza-kf-21-coproduccion-compra-directamente\/\">Indonesia abandona la coproducci\u00f3n del KF-21 y lo comprar\u00e1 directamente a Corea del Sur.<\/a><\/p><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>South Korea has built its own stealth-shaped fighter.
