The Hankook Kong Goon (Republic of Korea Air Force - ROKAF)
From 1969 to 1989, ROKAF had 27 RF-4C, 92 F-4D, and 103 F-4E.
In late 80s' to early 90s' the ROK Agency for Defense Development
announced a plan to upgrade the radar and avionics of 35 to 100 of
its remaining 150 or so F-4D/Es and 25 RF-4Cs.
Submission from DASA (ICE Program) and Rockwell (Washingthouse APG-66,
base on the APG-66J for the JASDF's "Kai" program... was maded in
1993. A close decision for the "ICE program" was almost ordered.
However, funding priorites for the KF-16C/D, the F-X, and the KTX-2,
as well as, the ROKs' currency devaluation... kept the ROKAFs' F-4
upgrades on the back burner.
Now, with the F-15K (F-X 1/2 selection completed - order in two batch
of 40/21. All of the ROKAFs Phantoms are being slowly replace.

110th TFS F-4D (Replace with F-15K)

For the Phantom Lovers...

likely it would be base on the "ICE Project." "SK - South Korean"
