You american also has a fair share of spoil. Without US subsystem, the Korea military product can never be sold.impressive.
350 T-50s and 500 K-9 Thunder and support vehicles for $20 billion would be nice.
kill two birds in one go.
T-38 Talon is crap and old and M109 Paladin is a old platform getting marginal improvements.

But one thing south korea can't do is building products directly compete with US one.
Do you know FA-50 is running in what engine?What would make you think that? Don't you know that aside from Korean domestic orders, Indonesia has ordered 16 units of T-50s, Iraq has ordered 24 units of T-50s, and the Philippines has already purchased 12 units of T-50s, with plans for more. Currently, the Spanish Air Force, The UAE Air Force are considering purchasing T-50s.
And pound per pound the FA-50s are impressive birds , they are comparable to the early blocks of F-16s and can function as attack air craft as well as defense fighter. A squadron of these birds arent to be reckoned with.

Don't be naive and think that US license produce meaning you have the full intellectual property of the US cutting edge 4th gen tutbofan engine.Sure, it uses a General Electric turbofan, and it is licensed produced by Samsung Corp. The fact that they have a partnership agreement means that KAI is able to produce these engines and install them on this aircraft; besides, profits also go to GE , as per their contractual agreement.
The mere fact that KAI already sold 16 units to Indonesia, 24 units to Iraq, 12 units to the Philippines, and possibly some to Spain, UAE is testament to that contractual allotment. Its the same way as how many of China's SUVs utilize and use Mitsubishi engines; or same as how Dongfeng Motor Corp uses Nissan Engines. How is this possible? Contractual agreement, my friend. Dong Feng and Geely , Cherry , respectively have a license agreement to produce Mitsubishi and Nissan Engines for their motor brands.
And we all know how there is a MASSIVE surge in Chinese auto brands being purchased; the top brands being Dong Feng, Geely, Cherry (and yes, the use Mitsubishi Engines).
A win win for China and Japanese Auto Industry.
