The Republic of Korea Air Force has just exhibited integrated weapons for its F-15K Slam Eagle multi-role fighter, along with detailed unit prices.
 |
| The first is the AIM-9X short-range air-to-air missile (upgraded from the AIM-9M) with a range of 22 km, using an infrared seeker with a target lock mode after launch, currently equipped on both the KF-16 and FA-50 of the Republic of Korea Air Force, this weapon costs 129,000 USD/missile. |
 |
| The F-15K's main air-to-air missile is the AIM-120C, which uses an active radar seeker with a range of 68 km. Its price tag is listed as $779,000, while the AIM-120B version equipped for the KF-16 costs $655,000 per missile. |
 |
| The AGM-65 Maverick short-range air-to-ground missile has a unit price of 228,000 USD/missile. This weapon with a range of 25 km can be used against motor vehicles, bunkers and fortifications very effectively. |
 |
| The AGM-88 HARM high-speed anti-radar missile weighs 364 kg, has a range of 148 km, uses a passive radar receiver and is sold for 340,000 USD/missile. |
 |
| The AGM-84H Slam-ER long-range attack missile, a multi-purpose missile developed from the AGM-84 Harpoon anti-ship missile, uses a GPS coordinate reference guidance mechanism and an electro-optical-infrared seeker. For a long time, this was the most accurate missile in the United States. Its listed price is more than 1.7 million USD. |
 |
| AGM-84L Harpoon anti-ship missile, while the Tomahawk anti-ship version has been retired, this is temporarily the longest-range anti-surface ship weapon of the US Navy Air Force, this missile with a range of 170 km is sold for 1.5 million USD. |
 |
| The GBU-10 laser-guided bomb costs only $23,000. This 964 kg bomb can fly 12 km, it was very effective in the Gulf War, the US Army even said that a GBU-10 dropped from an F-15E destroyed an Iraqi Mi-24 helicopter when the crew thought they had lost the target. |
 |
| The GBU-12 laser-guided bomb, although it weighs only 275 kg, can still glide 12 km like the GBU-10. It is not clear why it costs up to 33,000 USD/bomb, much higher than the GBU-10. |
 |
| The GBU-24 laser-guided bomb weighs up to 1,024 kg, has an operating range of 22 km, and its seeker is rated to have extremely good performance, so of course the unit price has skyrocketed, up to 133,000 USD/bomb. |
 |
| GBU-31 JDAM guided bomb, unlike the above GBU types, this version attacks targets via the GPS global positioning system. The bomb weighs 925 kg, has a range of 22 km, and costs 57,000 USD/bomb. |
 |
| The GBU-28 anti-bunker bomb weighs 2,130 kg and has a range of 10 km. Because it is made of special materials with very high durability, the unit price of one bomb is up to 343,000 USD. |
 |
| According to the assessment, thanks to the complete technical infrastructure, ensuring maintenance and repair, South Korea is able to own such high-tech weapons at such low prices. Compared to some other countries, they have to buy AIM-120C-7 missiles at a price of 1.5 million USD/unit. |
 |
| Meanwhile, the AIM-120's rival - the Russian R-77 medium-range air-to-air missile - is offered for sale at around $0.75 - $0.8 million per missile depending on the version. |
