South Korea Military Technology

Just like its advanced technology in other fields, South Korea is also very advanced in military technology. For 2019, South Korea ranked 7th out of 137 in military strength. With an active personnel of 625,000 their military isn't the largest, but is in fact pretty large. When it comes to aircraft strength, they rank 5th out of 137. South Korea owns 406 Fighter jets, 466 Attack jets, 40 transport aircrafts, and 112 attack helicopters. These numbers are fairly large and show just how strong South Koreas Air Force is. When it comes to land strength, their rank is not given. But one can assume that they are in the top 10 in the world. They won 2,654 Combat tanks, 2,870 Armored Fighting vehicles, 2,140 Self-Propelled Artillery, and 215 Rocket Projectors. Their Naval strength rank is also not given, but again by the looks of the numbers you can assume that they are ranked very high. They own 1 Aircraft Carrier, 12 Destroyers, 13 Corvettes, 16 Submarines, 64 Patrol Vessels, and 11 Mine Warfares. From looking at the numbers you can tell that South Korea takes its military very seriously. And after looking at some other articles it looks like they are tired of relying on the United States for military support. This just means that within the next few years South Koreas military is just going to more advanced technology wise so they don't have to depend on other countries for help.
