They could have used the LOWUS, which is an indigenous South Korean loyal wingman drone that is going to be used with the KF-21 in real life. But they used the American XQ-58 instead. First pic is LOWUS and second pic is XQ-58. You can clearly see and match the drone from the trailer as being the latter.
Perhaps they should update the visual model later.

But Korea Aerospace Industries, which makes KF-21, also has their own loyal wingman drone design, MUCCA
If they got licensing for KF-21, they could surely get license for that, no?

The licensing for the KF-21 and the Loyal Wingman are probably separate, resulting in a more costly licensing. That's the only logical explanation that I can see why the KF-21's own loyal wingman wasn't used.

But Kratos must have also asked for licensing fees. It’s not like XQ-58 was already in the game. Hmm
