The Republic of Korea faces a unique and complex threat environment. No other fighter aircraft in the world is better equipped to ensure the Republic of Korea Air Force (ROKAF) can maintain regional security stability than the 5th Generation F-35A Lightning II stealth fighter. The Republic of Korea selected the F-35 Lighting II for their F-X III fighter program in 2014. The ROKAF are currently taking deliveries of 40 F-35A Conventional Take Off and Landing (CTOL) aircraft. ROKAF's 17th Fighter Wing operates the F-35 out of Cheongju Air Base.

Designed to meet the US Military's requirement for a multi-role Joint Strike Fighter, the F-35 was first flown on December 15, 2006. This single-seat fighter is one of the most advanced aircraft of our time, said to be four times more effective at air-to-air combat and eight times more effective at air-to-ground combat than any other existing aircraft. It uses a low-maintenance stealth technology, and some versions have an innovative Lift System, which gives the F-35 vertical take-off and landing capabilities. The US plans to buy a total of 2,443 F-35s at a cost of $323 billion, which makes the F-35 the most expensive defense program in history.
