The Republic of Korea Marine Corps now holds the last MUH-1 Marineon helicopter in its hands. KAI moved the final airframe out of Jinju on 28 June 2023. A quick hand-off sign-sheet, few salutes, then crews rolled the machine onto a low-loader. No display banners or long talks, just work. That scene ended the 2016 contract without extra fuss, yet the moment still felt heavy. Commanders say the fleet unlocks fresh options for sea-borne raids and crisis lifts.

The Taranis unmanned combat air vehicle once showed up in the corner of BAE Systems’ Warton site, almost out of sight. At first glance the jet-black body looked like a sculpture more than a warplane. That day in 2010 set off fresh talk in defense circles, and the story still grows even fifteen years on.

China’s medium-lift Z-20 is no longer a paper plan. Pilots in several PLA brigades now fly the grey-green machines every week. Beijing says the type is home-grown, tuned for thin air over Tibet, and ready for sea duty as well. Western watchers still argue the airframe copies the U.S. UH-60, yet fresh photos show details that do not match the older Black Hawk. The debate rolls on, but the helicopter keeps logging hours.
