FA-50 and JF-17 are the finalists in Malaysian jet Program

The Korea Times

The FA-50, the nation’s first domestically developed light attack aircraft, is competing against the Pakistani-Chinese jointly manufactured JF-17 fighter for the Malaysian Air Force’s Light Combat Aircraft (LCA) program, under which Kuala Lumpur seeks to purchase 18 jets to replace its aging MiG-29 fleet, according to sources, Sunday.

“Despite interest from a diverse group of manufacturers, the FA-50 and JF-17 are the finalists,” the source said. The FA-50 is a variant of the T-50 supersonic trainer jet, manufactured by Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI).
Since its first deployment in October 2013, 60 FA-50s are operated by the Korean Air Force. In addition, the FA-50 has been exported to Iraq, the Philippines and Thailand.

Initially, France’s Rafale, the multinational Eurofighter and the United States’ F-18 were put forward for the Malaysian program, but the project has been downsized to purchasing light attack aircraft due to budget issues, giving a fighting chance to India’s Tejas, Italy’s M346 and Russia’s Y-130.

Should the KAI win the deal, it would be a huge compensation for its failed exports to Argentina.

Despite interest from Buenos Aires, the KAI, which uses several British-made parts in the FA-50, was unable to close a deal for the sale of eight aircraft due to an arms embargo imposed by the British government on the South American country.

However, the FA-50 is reportedly behind the JF-17 in the race as the latter possesses a better mid-range weapons capacity which is a requirement of the Malaysian Air Force.

It is a joke, Korean FA-50 uses an Israeli EL/M-2032 “Pulse doppler radar” (Thats not even PESA while India’s Tejas as AESA). India can offer UTTAM with Tejas better than all offerings, Tejas is soon going to test a 110km Astra MK1 A2A missile giving it BVR edge than others, while it will unlock Indian weapons of current and future compatible with Tejas which are successfully tested and are of high quality, Tejas itself has the best safety record of glitch free and accident free flying for 20 years.
