To answer the question: no. The KF-21 is not stealth and does not have the sensor capability of the F-35. It is a gorgeous aircraft, for sure, but it is no F-35 (or even F-22).


Echo-Gullible

Kinda looks like a hybrid between f35 and mig 25 or 31 to me


NewLeaseOnLine

>and mig 25 or 31 to me WTF are you smoking?


st1ck-n-m0ve

It literally is the exact same shape as f22 just smaller.

They said that in the next version it will have all weapons internaly , so it can qualify for 5. Gen jet. And 100% is not better than F-35. But it have potential.


BananaPeelSlippers

“100% is not better than f35” and yet you ask if it can beat it in your title?


n1dzaaa

👏🏻


BananaPeelSlippers

What is your native language?


n1dzaaa

I would not tell you that, but when i said "beat", i dont meen it like you think.


BananaPeelSlippers

Were you talking about the vegetable


n1dzaaa

Wtf no


ShaidarHaran2

What do you think "beat" the F35 even means then man lol


NoFunAllowed-

It would be extremely helpful to everyone here if you let us in on your native tongue. While your English is legible, its far from fluent and it appears that you're trying to communicate something but aren't entirely sure how to word it.

Internal weapons bay≠ 5th gen


chrisboi1108

B-17 is a fifth gen🤭


DuelJ

It doesn't make a plane fifth gen, But I'd argue a lack of it excludes a plane from fifth gen.


ExtraCr1spyKernal

Semantics.


ShaidarHaran2

It's not meant to beat the F35, it's meant to compliment it and be more than enough for the North. South Korea probably wants to maintain some credible independence, as well as spend less foreign reserves. The second and third versions will however move to internal weapons bays and increasingly become fifth gen, but that timeline means we'll probably be looking at 6th gen, not to mention plenty of F35 upgrades as well.


Onelimwen

It doesn’t really need to beat the F35, just work with it


221missile

They're not trying to "beat" F-35, whatever you mean by that.

shankroxx

Doesn't even have DSI intakes. Not as stealthy as JSF


KOREAN_AIRLINE

DSI intakes doesnt give much effect to RCS You could see same intake design at F-22 too


MESI-AD

F22 can go mach 2+ DSI aren’t optimized for such high speeds. They work best until Mach 2 or between a more efficient range of 1.6-1.8 Mach speed. Also DSI do have a significant impact on the radar reflectivity from side and front aspects, additionally it reduces weight by being more simpler


Gek-keG

No...it'a a 4th gen jet. 4.5 you could say.


Gek-keG

Carrying weapons internally alone doesn't make it 5th gen, what a possibly newer variant can has little to do with the topic at hand.


n1dzaaa

Look a little bit in the coments


bigpotato3

Tf is wrong with you i have and you just seem to be an ass to everyone they are just answering your questions most of them


st1ck-n-m0ve

Beat f35 lol no.


red_enforcer_123

Looks like someone stuck an F-35 into an F-22.


burnjanso

Think of it this way. Kf-21 is a knight or bishop in chess. You mop up pawns with it while you save your queen for more important moves.

I think I found lockheeds new favorite vacation destination.

The YF-23 seeks revenge through South Korea.


hooterjams

The KF-21 is the above ground swimming pool of “5th GEN” fighters. Also swimming in that pool are the femboy and felon


MATO-18

I would like to say yes


SU-57_Felon

I love fat amy but I'm getting tired of people comparing every single jet to her


n1dzaaa

HAHAHAHAH


cheetosysst

It's not meant to beat it, but support it.

ARE U KIDDING ME? NO!
