ROK Air Force Announces Naming Contest for New Fighter Aircraft
Does any ROK Heads have any good names for this new ROK fighter jet?:
The Air Force has launched a naming contest for the country’s next-generation fighter jet under development, officials said Friday.
South Korea is building the first prototype jet for the KF-X project after its design was confirmed last year, according to the Defense Acquisition Program Administration.
Through Oct. 30, South Koreans can submit suggestions for the new fighter with an explanation on how they represent the new jet’s mission.
The winner will be given a model aircraft with an award from the Air Force chief of staff, officials said.
Under the KF-X project worth 8.8 trillion won (US$7.5 billion), South Korea has been working since late 2015 to develop a homegrown cutting-edge fighter aircraft to replace the Air Force’s aging fleet of F-4 and F-5 jets.

Johnhenry likes chindren’s shows too. Ewww.
Anyway, let’s consider the name.
It is designed to sting the enemy and it has two powerful engines.

Bet that won’t win the contest.

CH: You were told by this site’s owner to drop your stupid insinuations.
Don’t the folks in Beijing have enough Karens? One sign of maturity is being able to ignore childish insults. Plus, CH likes the back-and-forth.
On a note related to the article, looks like a non-stealthy KF-22 (if one believed the C109 illustrations on Reddit)…
@setnaffa: Childish insults are one thing; accusations and insinuations of pedophilia are quite something different.
Anyway, what’s wrong with the project’s current name (according to Wikipedia): 보라매 (Hawk)? It’ll be amusing to see how nationalistic the rationale will be for whatever name is finally chosen given how similar it looks to so many foreign jet fighters.
Johnhenry…
Being offended by something on the internet is like choosing to step in dog shìt instead of walking around it.
Don’t be such a baby.
I would expect you to be more in touch with your child… er… inner child.
I’m looking forward to when this site’s owner gets fed up with your childishness.
Not to mention your offensiveness.
I guess I’d better stop being childish…
…because…
…obviously…
…you might touch me.
Ewww!
In other news, Biden reported that he was able to stay home “because some black lady stocked the grocery shelves.”
Breaking News:
The name of the ultra-modern new Korean jet has been finalized.
They are going to call it the Johnhenry.
They believe this is most fitting because the name sets it apart from older aircraft by reminding the enemy this plane can touch anything made in the last 10 years.
“can touch anything made in the last 10 years.” Good one. But it’s not that difficult:
Take whatever western design they copied from and put a “K” in front of it — just like always (e.g., KF-22, KF-35, etc.)
Sabre Jet 2. That’s the fighter that won the Korean War over MiG Alley.
