At the Tacley Royal Thai Air Force Base, the ceremony of introducing two first T-50TH training aircraft from South Korea, built by Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI), was held at the Air Force of Thailand. bmpd.

The contract for the supply of 4-x UBS was signed in September 2015. The transaction value was $ 110 million.

It is reported that "the T-50ТН aircraft is another export modification of the famous KAI T-50 Golden Eagle combat training aircraft, created and produced by KAI in cooperation with the American corporation Lockheed Martin." It is equipped with Israeli Elta EL / M-2032 radar, Link 16 data transmission equipment and is capable of carrying a very wide range of weapons.

T-50TN should replace in the Thai Air Force training aircraft Aero L-39ZA-ART, acquired in the Czech Republic in 1991-1996 years.

Successful aircraft. In general, all Korean equipment is very solid. Be it tanks, self-propelled guns, ships, etc. Not to mention phones, televisions and cars. I have KIA. The sixth year I drive and nothing.

It was necessary to take what was produced under the DAEWOO brand. there, though the roots are opelevsky. They eat gasoline with an appetite, but they are reliable. And on the T-50, see film R2B, it is very picturesquely sung.

But the design of our Yak-130 will still be better, and the filling is also on the same level, and the T-50TN still looks hard for this class.

Not. Yak now has a narrow niche for TCB, and if he gets very tight, then the eLco bomber. Moreover, the efficiency is not much higher than eLki. For there is no sighting station. There is no support for target designation containers. The result - or work like grandfathers on the IL-2 - is visually approaching the target, but here the Su-25 is much better, yet today every MIA on the Toyota is sooner or later not thanks to Allah, but thanks to Statistics there will be hits on the plane. Or as a platform for expensive GLONASS CABs.

In the future, he will probably have a second stage engine (which Ivchenko-Progress should have done - and now Ufa, but there isn’t much money on the topic). There will also be an open architecture, sighting station. The load will increase and LTH with it will improve. But the price will swell.

However, ordered by Iraq and Thailand, the T-50 already knows everything that the Yak will be able to do in the future. And even more, the same Iraqis, for example, have radars in the kit. What is not even in the project in Yaka (because everything is bad with compact radars).

I read the headline and the brains boiled. So, have our T-50s already been modernized? In fact, a strange case, two different types of aircraft from different countries, have the same brand code.

[donavi49]

T-50 is generally a closed designation of Sukhoi. For example, Su-27 - T-10. Su-35 - T-10M.
He's kind of Su-57 officially approved.

T-50 is the official name of the Korean. Akin to Su-30 or Su-57.
