KF-25 Geomdogsuli is an single-seat, twin-engine, supersonic all-weather stealth fighter aircraft developed for the [[Royal Joseon Armed Forces|Royal Joseon Air Forces]](RJAF). The KF-25 fighter jet is designed to have air superiority, ground attack, electronic warfare, and signals intelligence capabilities as a product of the RJAF's NGF-3 program. The main contractor, KAI, built most of the airframe and weapon systems, while the program partner, Hanwha Defense, provided radar systems and other avionics systems.
The KF-25 first flew in March 2024 and completed its 30-minute flight on the first flight without incident. RJAF will purchase 1,400 KF-25s, while Royal Joseon Navy(RJN) will purchase up to 800 KF-25s after a thorough review.
