The above information is included in the newly released plan for the development of the South Korean armed forces by 2025.
Note that the aforementioned plan could be implemented in the late 1920s or early 1930s of this century.
In the coming years, Seoul plans to build a light aircraft carrier, develop the fifth-generation KF-X fighter jet, and also develop long-range air-to-ground and air-to-ship missiles to equip these fighter jets.
South Korea also has ideas for space exploration. Specifically, Seoul has announced plans to develop its own launch vehicles to put small satellites into orbit and produce several space-based reconnaissance vehicles.
