Technically, the #FA50 is a light combat aircraft (#LCA) and not a multirole fighter(#MRF) like the #F16 and #Gripen.

"Kim Sang-eung, #KAI regional manager, said #SouthKorea was proposing to export three squadrons or 36 additional FA-50s and a retrofit for the current light fighters to meet the PAF’s medium- and long-term goals to have a credible #AirDefense and air power." #Philippines #PhilippineAirForce

Posting this in remembrance of my Dad who spent a good chunk of his life in the #PhilippineAirForce at the time when it was the strongest air power in #SoutheastAsia. He loved planes ❤️✈️ #Philippines

Happy Father's Day Dad 🕯️

The #SAAB #JAS39 #Gripen is the modernized & redesigned digital successor of this classic multirole #FighterJet

An unpopular opinion but he's right for all the reasons stated in the video. Unfortunately for Ukraine there are no spare #Gripens new or old.

The #Philippines is on the verge of buying 14 because the alternative (#F16) is simply too expensive. So by default, the #PhilippineAirForce may be making the right choice 😊 #UkraineWar

The right fighter for #Ukraine isn't the #F16, it's the #GRIPEN

The #PhilippineAirForce wants them badly too but can't afford it. We're also far behind #Taiwan & Ukraine in the queue for new jets.

Bell added: "Although there's lots of countries operating them because it's so expensive, nobody has more aircraft than they need, and nobody could afford to give to 20 to 30 of these platforms to Ukraine."
