Well it's a nifty little jet and the South Koreans have been selling them. This could open the way for the Ukraine getting Polish MiG-29s but the delivery of these aircraft won't happen overnight, let alone setting up logistic support and training.Poland has ordered 50 South Korean Aerospace Industries FA-50 light combat aircraft.

I think one reason why they might have went with the FA-50 was because the production line is active and the aircraft has seen combat (The Philippines have used theirs against communist insurgents).Should of bought the T-7.
I am sure it will have a light fighter variant similar to the T-38/F-5.

It would be simple. No Americans, we only shake hands with our neighbors.I wonder what the Japanese defense budget would look like without the Americans there.

The US sadly created an enemy with North Vietnam, but is the US solely to blame for aggression by N. Korea or China?How not costly when there are no enemies for the Japanese in this region after the ww2 was over?
Were not the enemies you may claim in this region originally created by the US?
