How good is KAI KF-21 Boramae of South Korea - KF-21 analysis

South Korea's homegrown KF-21 Boramae fighter jet flew for the first time, putting the country among the few nations to have developed and flown an advanced supersonic fighter.

The first prototype KF-21, named Boramae, which means hawk in Korean, with serial 001, took off at 3:40 PM local time, slightly delayed by weather, before landing at 4:13 PM. Flying as a chase plane to monitor the flight was another KAI product, a two-seat T-50 advanced jet trainer. The latter jet may have been from the 281st Test Flight Squadron that’s also based at Sacheon.
Major Ahn Jun-hyun of South Korea’s Air Force piloted the KF-21 prototype No.1 featuring the national flags of South Korea and Indonesia.

the jet was also fitted with four mock-ups of the long-range Meteor air-to-air missile (AAM), carried in their semi-conformal location under the fuselage.

The twin-engined aircraft bore the flags of both South Korea and Indonesia — the only foreign partner in the program. Unusually for a first flight, The KF-21 was also seen carrying four mock-ups of the Meteor long-range, air-to-air missile under the fuselage. First rolled out in April 2021, the aircraft underwent ground tests earlier this year.
