I think the author has his facts mixed up. South Korean has proposed variants (DSME 2000 and DSME 3000) which are variants of the KS-III, however, nether of these have VLS. The article specifically mentions VLS. Plus, South Korea has specifically said that the version they re proposing for...

If I remember correctly, Canada offered to buy the F-14s from Iranians after the Iranian Revolution, but then PM Joe Clark did something and the deal fell through. Didn't France offer one of the Mirages as a candidate? Cannot remember which variant.
