Defense Business Promotion Committee “Actual deployment of light carriers by 2033”
Plan to invest 2.3 trillion won to build light aircraft carriers
If you add vertical take-off and landing fighters, the cost will increase significantly.
Different from a light carrier, a 100,000-ton carrier… Controversy about the effectiveness
[앵커]
The Ministry of Defense and the Defense Acquisition Program Administration have decided to build and deploy a 30,000-ton light aircraft carrier by 2033.
Until now, there have been many controversies over cost-effectiveness, but I am interested in whether I can overcome these controversies and cruise as planned in the future.

This is a conceptual diagram of a light aircraft carrier recently released by the Navy.
A 30,000-ton light aircraft carrier was loaded and flyers were packed with submarines and destroyers.

The Defense Project Promotion Committee, which deliberates on the introduction of weapons, also contributed.
It was decided to build a domestic light aircraft carrier by 2033 and deploy it in actual battle.
Light aircraft carrier construction cost is KRW 2.3 trillion
This is pure aircraft carrier construction cost, excluding electricity required for shear construction such as 20 vertical take-off and landing ships, submarines, and destroyers.
It is expected to exceed 5 trillion won to pack light aircraft carrier flyers if additional costs such as aircraft are added.
However, the controversy about cost-effectiveness remains to the point that only 100 million won of research cost was reflected in the controversy last year in the National Assembly.
In addition, some point out that the reason for the introduction is unclear because the subject of the threat or the expected sea area of the conflict is not specified.

The Ministry of Defense and the Radiation Administration say light aircraft carriers are a means of responding to a variety of security threats and deterring provocations in conflict-prospecting waters.
However, it is also pointed out that in the event of a security crisis, it is difficult to provide a means of deterrence with one light aircraft carrier, and that it is better to provide other means with the money.
It is noteworthy whether this decision by the military, which decided to deploy actual battles after 12 years, will overcome the controversy and cruise in the future.
