South Korea to reopen fighter jet competition

Issue No. 15 | August 01-15, 2013

South Korea will be reopening bidding for its 8.3 trillion won purchase of 60 next generation fighter jets. The Korean Defence Acquisition Programme Administration (DAPA) had suspended the auction earlier as none of the entries, Lockheed Martin Corp’s F-35, Boeing Co’s F-15 and EADS’s Eurofighter Typhoon, submitted bids meeting the required price. DAPA may increase the budget.

“We have decided at the defence project committee meeting to resume bidding for the F-X project,” DAPA spokesman Baek Youn-hyeong told a briefing.
