My RCS estimates on KF-21. Basically much improved compared to what i did years back.

Conclusion is basically, the current KF-21 met what was envisaged by the Korean designer for Block I. a "reduced RCS" or "Semi-stealth" design.

2 Configurations (clean and armed) are compared with some 4 and 4.5 Gen.

The "real stealth" one would be the Block 3 but that would still be years away. This B1 and later B2 is for maturations, gaining operational experience and to mitigate development risks for subsequent blocks.

The CVX and arsenal ship projects of the ROKN have been axed, alongside the AH-64E Apache and JSTARS aircraft.

That means the CVX-related KF-21N will never see the light of the day too.

So much for the Jai Kimchis.

They're right next to China, so why would they have needed a CV anyway? Even for encircling North Korea in the event of the war breaking out again, there are far more useful things to invest in.

Well, unless ROK world view is basically limited to DPRK(which is kinda stupid), same as everyone - sea power doesn't work without airpower.
The most responsive airpower over sea is provided by carriers.
