But Koreans are very interested in stealing any resources too. I think Korea will go with whatever side can offer her more gold. “The Turkish General Staff requested to the South Korean government to get ready to withdraw its 3,500 troops from northern Iraq because the Turkish military was preparing for an operation in the region.

Will that include the explosive reactive tiles with VIRSS or only the basic composite armor? And, if the Turkish firm is going to be working on the FCS and other electronics, then what's the use for the Korean IVIS C4I? The very concept of a C4I is pretty nation-specific anyway, and Turkey is definitely capable of integrating its own miliatary information systems. Technological capability is there. In the past, they even sold Korea full flight simulators. Also, is XAV being proposed as part of the package?

Bullshit. The reason the Turks would pick the Koreans over the French has to do with politics, clear and simple. The relations between France and Turkey have been seriously strained since the French parliament declared that denying the Armenian genocide was a crime.
