South Koreas offer Egypt the FA-50 Fighter Eagle, with ToT

[Ghostkiller]

Yup, I think T50 Golden Eagle is quite promising, in Africa they can use FA50 for their fighters as it will be even integrated with AMRAAM.

Egypt will never get AMRAAMs hahaha.

FA-50 is a trainer

JF-17 is a multi role fighter no comparison to the JF17

Egypt will produce (if the deal goes through) the trainer and the light combat version which is called FA-50.

America will give you AIM-120A

 

[The SC]

America will give you AIM-120A

When it will be made in Egypt, it will come with the source code.. So any potent BVR can be integrated easily..

 

[Ghostkiller]

@The SC will Egypt get BVR missile from this deal hahahaha?

Are you sure that we will get the source code? But isn't the radar must be compatible with the missile?

Yes it is the least in this ToT.. and SK has developed now with French Thales an AESA radar of its own.. far from the Usraeli Elta one.. with a much longer range.. what do you want more for integration of any other BVR missiles.. I'm not talking about the AIM-120 here but other alternatives.. like the Chinese PL-15 and the PL-XX.. or the Russian R-37M (The R-37M is the world’s fastest known air to air missile with a Mach 6 speed, carries a very large 60kg warhead, and can engage targets up to 400km away. The missile is maneuverable enough to be able to neutralise fighter sized aircraft, but is also highly potent against support aircraft such as tankers.).. there is a;so the K-77M.. with a respectable 200km range and is one of the few to use an AESA radar for guidance.. or even the Denel Dynamics Marlin missile with a 100 km range.. not to forget the French MICA BVR, Its lightweight and compact dimensions allow the integration of up to six missiles on medium to lightweight fighters..

First, the problem is that we don't know if MBDA (France or Italy) will give us Meteor, USA will never give us AIM-120 the only BVR choices are either indigenous or emirati ones, chinese russian or maybe MICA missile which is considered as BVR.

If there were no Meteors you can be sure there wouldn't have been a second Rafale deal..Simple..

SK some day I believe will have their own BVR missile, there is ramjet missile under development already in SK program.

There can be integration with European missile as well as KF21 uses European ones

 

[Raj-Hindustani]

poor tejas never stood a chance

Even it is killing any chance for JF 17..

Reputed air forces will mostly go with F50 aircraft..... Jf 17 and HAL Tejas is almost very nill chance.... I

Only very small countries with flying oldest aircrafts will go for JF 17 and HAL Tejas

 

[The SC]

Without all this talk.. watch this:

The greatest video you can see of the Egyptian army using live ammunition

 

[MH.Yang]

How come South Korean is desperate ? T50 Golden Eagle and its derivative, FA 50, is quite successful, the latest is Poland big order.

This @The SC news doesnt even provide any link to back up his story

All K9 and FA50 sold by Koreans are all with TOT, and the price is very cheap.

 

[Indos]

All K9 and FA50 sold by Koreans are all with TOT, and the price is very cheap.

If the order like 100 or something similar, that kind of offer is pretty reasonable for countries who has established their aerospace sector, minimum has done manufacturing under license in the past.

Indonesian N219 is also open for talk of production in other country if the order is 100 something. But for sure this will not be 100 % manufacturing, more like similar like C 295 order by Indian which is basically only cover assembling, that is the profit by the Airbus by selling fuselage parts for them. 30 of them will be 100 % made in Europe as well. We are talking business here

T50 Golden Eagle is not cheap if we compare to Chinese similar plane offering

 

[Bilal9]

Whats really intresting is that A model of the plane was placed beside the commander of the Airforce that had the Egyptian insignia. So you can guess there have been extensive talks while there was no hint at all about this deal. Much of the cooperation is hidden and iam pretty sure it will include teaching wind tunnels etc or it might as well be useless

I remember the Helwan HA-300 fighter.

Helwan HA-300 - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

That program got stalled because the platform developed by Mr. Messerschmitt and Kurt Tank was too complicated (two engines) and Egypt at the time did not have the requisite technical expertise in Egypt in the number it needed to continue testing and production. The financial support from Egyptian Govt. dwindled and eventually the Russians convinced Egypt to become a Soviet client state for airplanes.

Not saying that this is the 1950's - but there are lessons in that story for this new program (are all the ducks/prerequisites lined up in a row?).
