Well they must have paid you well for it. And we are thinking about giving India F-16 production as well. That means India is not a vassal of the U.S.

But South Korea is able to build things themselves besides building their own weapons like Black Panther. Not to mention other technologies that they were able to invent and build themselves.
Hyunmoo-3 is a new cruise missile that is to be fielded with the military of
Republic of Korea. It is designed by
Agency for Defense Development (ADD). The name
Hyunmoo (
Hangul:
현무) comes from a
mythical beast[2] described as the "Guardian of the Northern Sky", perhaps hinting North Korea.
Hyunmoo-3 bears no resemblance to the previous
Hyunmoo SSM, which were improved versions of
Nike Hercules surface-to-air missiles that were converted into short-range high-speed surface-to-surface ballistic missiles in response to North Korea's
Scud-B and
Nodong-1 missile threats. Instead, the new missile's designs are strikingly similar to the United States
Tomahawk cruise missile.
Hyunmoo-3A, which was nicknamed "Eagle-1" (독수리-1) during the testing, has a range of 500 km, while
Hyunmoo-3B, nicknamed "Eagle-2" (독수리-2), has a range of 1,000 km.
Hyunmoo-3C, or "Eagle-3" (독수리-3), will be capable of striking its target up to 1,500 km away. This is a significant improvement from Hyunmoo I which had a range of 180 km and Hyunmoo-2, which only has a range of 300 km, both of which were ballistic and not cruise missiles.
It is powered by a
turbofan engine, much like other
subsonic cruise missiles of its type, and has a payload of up to 500 kilograms. The guidance systems consist of
Inertial Guidance System and
Global Positioning System.
The maximum payload of the missile is rated at 500 kilograms of conventional explosive.
King Sejong the Great class destroyers and
KSS-III class submarines will be equipped with these missiles inside their
Vertical Launching System (
K-VLS).

South Korea is barred from producing a non-indigenous ballistic missile that is above a certain payload and range limit in accordance to
Missile Technology Control Regime. Therefore, a heavy emphasis was put on for developing long-range cruise missiles by the South Korean government, as there is no restriction of payload amount and range limit set for them. With the introduction of Hyunmoo-III, which also has some advanced systems sometimes found on
ICBMs, the
Republic of Korea Army created the Missile Command in order to efficiently manage these missiles.

- Contactless smart transport card: Seoul has the world's longest experience of using contactless transport cards.[49] The Korean system integrator Intec and Seoul Bus Union first launched a test of their system in a trial from October to December 1995.[50] The first contactless e-Ticketing systems went live in 1996 in Seoul and 1997 in Hongkong.[51]
- Coloring Ring back tone: A South Korean wireless services provider, invented this type of ringback tones for cellphone networks.[52] CRBT (Coloring Ring back tones) are pieces of music and audio clips that callers hear instead of normal ringing tone when they dial a specific number. The original service first premiered by South Korean operator SK Telecom in April 2002.[52][53][54]
- WiBro: An abbreviation of wireless broadband, refers to the Mobile WiMAX system developed and deployed in Korea.[55]
- Digital Multimedia Broadcasting: The technology was developed in South Korea.[56]
- Digital Mobile TV: By developing Digital Multimedia Broadcasting, Korea became the first nation in the world to introduce mobile television.[57]
- Virtual Store: A Korean supermarket chain, Home Plus has developed a "virtual" store by Homeplus CEO Lee Seung-han, who originally had the idea in 2008. It allows consumers to do their shopping with smartphones from the subway station with the Homeplus App and get the items delivered to their doorsteps. It opened at Seolleung subway station in Seoul, Korea.[58]
- LTE service: The world's first commercial LTE device, developed by Samsung, was provided for the world's first LTE service in Stockholm.[59] The South Korean company is providing the LTE infrastructure on the MetroPCS, North America’s first operator offering 4G LTE services.[44]
