ROK will sell KF-21 to any nation not hostile to ROK, including even Iran, so long as MBS is okay with it. https://www.tacticalreport.com/daily/62065-saudi-arabia-fighters-eyeing-south-koreas-kf-21 So are the Egyptians. https://www.tacticalreport.com/daily/61645-egypt-south-korea-and-kf-21-fighter-talks Seriously, U.S. should concentrate on catching up in naval construction/production technology first, and then stealth technology, and then decommissioning silo-based ICBMs, and transferring all nuclear assets to SLBMs. The reason being silo-based ICBMs are basically deathtrap in waiting; once enemies of U.S build enough hypersonic cruise missiles, and sensor technologies improve to the point that they can detect silo-based ICBMs from satellites, with the cost of satellites declining, they can launch the barrage of hypersonic cruise missiles and detonate those ICBMs in their silos. Imagine that, all ICMBs in CONUS detonating. Why back in the old days, battleships were paranoid about ammunition storage.
