Even in next ten years we can't make a fighter jet without foreign tech transfer but training jet? Yes that is acceptable and please dont come up with delusional words like 5th generation.

They both are kinda small,are these concept designs or the final products?
I looked it up,these are the korean KF-X 101 AND KF-X 201 concept designs.
KF-x 101 became TF-x 100
KF-x 201 became TF-x 200

 

[KemalPasa]

We're starting from scratch. So 10 years is a "little" optimistic.
