Why is the F-15K the best solution for the Republic of Korea?
The ROK wants an advanced, highly maneuverable multi-role fighter that performs air-to-ground attacks and air-to-air combat missions, day or night, in any weather. The ROK also needs an aircraft with the long range and payload capacity to meet its omni-directional defense needs. Of the aircraft the ROK is considering, only the F-15 has all these characteristics, and has proven them in combat. In Kosovo and the Persian Gulf, the F-15E showed its ability to actually do what others can only promise. And the ROK’s F-15K will be even better than the F-15E. By selecting the F-15K, the Republic of Korea will get the aircraft that provides all it needs.
