Скачать или смотреть South Korea–Philippines Military Surge: Are KF-21 Jets and Submarines Reshaping Southeast Asia?

South Korea and the Philippines are rapidly deepening their defense partnership—and the implications could reshape the balance of power in Southeast Asia. From discussions surrounding the KF-21 Boramae next-generation fighter jet to potential submarine acquisitions and modern surface warships, Manila’s modernization drive is increasingly aligned with Seoul’s growing defense export ambitions.

In this video, we break down how a South Korea–Philippines defense push could transform the Philippines into a regional military and logistics hub in Southeast Asia. We explore why South Korea sees the Philippines as a strategic partner, how technology transfers and maintenance hubs could follow major arms deals, and what this means for regional deterrence amid rising tensions in the South China Sea.

The KF-21 program represents more than just a fighter aircraft—it signals access to advanced avionics, interoperability with allied forces, and a long-term upgrade path for the Philippine Air Force. On the naval side, submarines and new warships would significantly enhance maritime domain awareness and undersea deterrence, elevating the Philippines’ role in regional security architecture.

We also analyze how this partnership fits into the broader Indo-Pacific landscape, including interactions with the United States, Japan, and ASEAN neighbors. Could this cooperation position the Philippines as a central node for defense manufacturing, training, and sustainment in Southeast Asia?

Watch till the end as we assess the strategic risks, economic benefits, and geopolitical consequences of this emerging alliance—and whether it truly marks the rise of a new Southeast Asian defense hub.
