PNN – Some South Korean media reported on Monday the arrest of several Indonesian citizens in an attempt to steal the secrets of the fighter under construction in South Korea.
According to Pakistan News Network, while the Ministry of Defense of South Korea claims to be trying to build an advanced fighter, some media in this country reported on Monday the arrest of several Indonesian citizens on the charge of trying to steal the secrets of this fighter.
The “Korea Herald” newspaper wrote that Indonesian employees in the Korean aerospace industry are under investigation on suspicion of trying to reveal the secrets of South Korean fighter planes.
According to this report, this incident led to the strengthening of the laws regarding the leakage of confidential military information.
The company that developed the KF-21 fighters recently arrested several Indonesian employees in an attempt to gain access to the secrets of this fighter. These people have since been sent to the counter-espionage command and the intelligence arm of the army.
One of South Korea’s legislators said, “In order to deal with the threats of disclosure of defense industry information abroad, the parliament should pass bills.”
Hawthorne, a military analyst, said, “South Korea is developing this fighter with the help of the United States.”
Roblin said this time that the South Korean KF-21 fighter is not stealth and may later become a true stealth jet.
This fighter is similar to the American F-22 fighter. This project started in 2001 and its goal is to replace these fighters with the F-4 Phantom fleet.
