F-15K Improved version
https://theaviationist.com/2024/11/22/s ... grade-fms/
In fact, the ROKAF's F-15Ks have been stalled by budgetary issues and have been criticized for their inability to respond to more advanced air threats. So in 2024, the ROKAF decided to upgrade its F-15Ks, which was approved by the US State Department's DSCA(Defense Security Cooperation Agency’s). DSCA FMS notice says a number of components were requested for the upgrade, including 96 Advanced Display Core Processor II (ADCP II) mission system computers, 70 AN/APG-82(v)1 Active Electronically Scanned Arrays (AESA) radars, seventy 70 AN/ALQ-250 Eagle Passive Active Warning Survivability System (EPAWSS) electronic warfare (EW) suites and 70 AN/AAR-57 Common Missile Warning Systems (CMWS).
The F-15K's modifications are very similar to those of the F-15EX, but it is not a complete F-15EX. Nevertheless, the ROKAF expects that the F-15K's modifications will allow it to operate effectively into the 2030s.

A mockup of the missile was unveiled at the Sacheon Airshow in 2024, with development expected to continue through 2026 and mass production through the 2030s. Using ducted ramjet propulsion, the missile is capable of flying at speeds of Mach 2.6 and can travel more than 300 kilometers. The missile can use radar and EO/IR seekers to target enemy surface ships.
The missile is reportedly capable of being carried on the FA-50 and KF-21.(The FA-50 can carry one round and the KF-21 can carry two).

South Korea's intermediate-range ballistic missile Hyunmoo 5, unveiled at a military parade in 2024, has a warhead weight of one ton and a maximum range of 3,000 kilometers, according to publicly available information. This is enough to hit all of western China and possibly Japan.
Hyunmoo-V High-powered ballistic missiles
This version reduces the range to 300 kilometers, but increases the warhead weight to over 9 tons for maximum destructive power against hard and deeply buried targets (HDBTs). With this weapon system, South Korea hopes to destroy North Korea's underground command centers in a single strike.
Low Altitude Missile Defense(LAMD)

North Korea has deployed hundreds of long-range artillery pieces along the Demilitarized Zone, putting Seoul in range. Traditionally, this has been viewed as a mortal threat that North Korea could pose to the South, so the South is developing the LAMD to offset it, with a targeted completion date of 2028.
The LAMD is capable of intercepting large-caliber artillery and short-range ballistic missiles, and is particularly effective against North Korea's new SRBM system, which is capable of anomalous maneuvers, according to the South Korean military.
Radar: The proposed MFR radar, which consists of about 10,000 GaN transmit receive (T/R) modules, can detect rocket artillery or shells at a distance of more than 40 kilometers and an altitude of more than 10 kilometers.
TELs and guided munitions: Each TEL is equipped with 32 missiles, and the missiles are capable of simultaneous engagement against North Korea's large-caliber artillery shells and short-range ballistic missiles within a range of 10 kilometers. South Korea's Institute of Defense Science has stated that each battery operates 190 guided munitions simultaneously, so calculations suggest that six TELs would be deployed per battery by Western standards. The guided munition is based on the SAAM-400K Hae Gung(mean:Sea bow) and features an active seeker to effectively counter multiple simultaneous enemy projectiles. Guided munitions use HTK to intercept enemy shells or missiles.
L-SAM(Long-range Surface-to-Air Missile)

The missile defense system, which will be fielded in 2028, can effectively counter North Korea's short- and intermediate-range ballistic missiles. The L-SAM battery is composed of a multifunction radar, a command-and-control (C2) center, a combat control station, and four truck-mounted launchers, two of each missile type. It will use a trailer-mounted S-band AESA radar.

-Command and control center: 1
-Combat control station: 1
-Multifunction radar: 1
-Launchers: 4
-Missiles per launcher: 6 (surface-to-air missiles and anti-ballistic missiles)
The L-SAM's ABM guided missile can effectively intercept enemy ballistic missiles at an altitude of 40 to 60 kilometers, with a reported maximum speed of Mach 9. In addition, the Divert Attitude Control System (DACS) has been applied to the Kill Vehicle (KV) to counter North Korea's new ballistic missile system, which is capable of performing anomalous maneuvers.
That concludes my rant, I support the work of the CMO devs, and I'm having fun playing the game
