Russia’s chief military aircraft producer had opted not to take part in South Korea’s largest-ever arms tender worth $7.3 billion for new fighter aircrafts , The Korea Times reported today.
The winner of the FX-III tender will supply South Korea’s Air Force with 60 advanced fighter jets with stealth capabilities.
A spokesman for South Korea’s Defense Acquisition Program Administration (DAPA), said, “No Russian firm submitted an application to attend the program’s explanatory session, which was a prerequisite to participate, by the Friday registration deadline”.
Sukhoi was earlier listed as one of the four contenders for the FX-III project with it’s T-50 PAK-FA Stealth Fighter, according to DAPA. The Sukhoi was up against American manufacturers Boeing, offering the F-15SE Silent Eagle, Lockheed Martin with the F-35 Lightning II and the European Aeronautic Defense and Space Company (EADS)’s Eurofighter Typhoon.
Sukhoi pulled out of the race because it had not sought approval from the Russian government and the local trade mission, officials at the Trade Representation of the Russian Federation in Korea said.
