Korean Aerospace Office Leaks Fighter Jet Technology

The two engineers were accused of violating South Korea's Defense Acquisition Program Act and leaking technology related to the KF-21, South Korea's indigenous fighter jet partly supported by Indonesia.

The raid began on Thursday and continued into a second day, according to an official at the security investigation department of Kyungnam Provincial Police.

A KAI spokesperson said they were “actively cooperating” to ensure they could provide everything necessary for the police investigation to determine the truth.

The KF-21, developed by KAI, is designed to be a cheaper, less stealthy alternative to the US-made F-35 that South Korea relies on.

An Indonesian Foreign Ministry spokesman told reporters last month that the Southeast Asian nation's government was gathering evidence about the allegations.

The spokesman said the KF-21 is a strategic project for both countries and they will resolve any issues arising from this cooperation.

South Korea and Indonesia have resolved a dispute over funding for joint fighter jets in 2022 and have since vowed to expand defense cooperation.

There have been concerns in South Korea that its regulations are not strong enough to prevent technology transfer efforts from high-tech companies. The sentencing commission, overseen by the Supreme Court, decided last year to toughen penalties and extend prison terms for technology leaks.
