“Airplanes from the Western world are superior to post-Soviet aircraft.”
Poland showcased one of the South Korean FA-50 fighter jets it has acquired at a military base in the suburbs of Warsaw.
The aircraft will contribute to the modernisation of Poland’s Air Force fleet, which currently includes both Soviet and post-Soviet fighter jets.

Viva Polska!
what is this training aircraft better than? Give them to the Ukrainians against the Su-35

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ukraine is after F-16s principally because of its LANTRN system and, specifically, to use JSOWs (a glide bomb) with it. Using the bell curve attack profile, the F-16 stays low and fast and then rapidly rises, releases the JSOW, which can glide up to 70 miles, before steeply descending again
South Korea has been building some very nice hardware. 👍
They won't get any capable radar systems untill 2025. Well done Law and Justice (commies).
F-16s will do the job.
Russian junk is like 40 years behind the current technology. Using their stuff is like going back in time to World War II.
Way to go Poland! 🇵🇱❤
Slava Ukraine. 🇺🇦🇬🇧
First putin screams "Kyiv in 3 days"….and now one and a half years later Poland has emerged as the new superpower in Europe😌
The reason Ukrainians want western weapons is not because they are better. It's because they are in a war started and funded by the west. Talk of common sense. Duh 🙄
Latest version of "Russian weapons are useless myth".
First proposed by an Austrian Gent with a Chaplin moustache.
Murican jets are very useful in bring down balloon 🎈🎈
I wonder how many stealth drones you could get for the same cost.
Can't wait to see Poland builds the KAI KF-21 Boramae Block-2 with South Korea in Poland! 🇵🇱Slava 🇺🇦
"Aircrafts"? Whatever happened to uncountable nouns in English? Can we expect "furnitures" next?
"Aircrafts"? 🤭 Fun fact; the plural of aircraft is aircraft!
Will be interesting to see how the FA 50 compares to competing low cost aircraft like the Tejas Mk2 etc. Early impressions are not good.
They remind me of the polish fighter pilots in ww2 to whom the free world owes a huge debt of gratitude. Particularly as they won the war but lost their country to the Kremlin's tyranny.
South Korea destroyed in 1955 has shown the World how a Nation can transpire and advance under FREEDOM when compared to North Korea's lack of advancement under Communism!
its just a gap filler,
fa50 is worse in many ways than mig29
Everybody ❤ poland ball
F50 is a cool compact fighting jet almost f16 like , giving f16 to ukraine is important because there are plenty f16 surplus but will never match russian airforce in numbers so f16 can fire – The AIM-120 Advanced Medium-Range Air-to-Air Missile (AMRAAM) is an American beyond-visual-range air-to-air missile capable of all-weather day-and-night , this allows f16 to fire and forget, turn around and head home long before ruskies get a visual or a good lock, so lack up f16 numbers are made up by more advanced air to air weapon systems. ukraine only needs to win the skies locally over a battle area to make a big difference
Tell your script writer that the plural of "aircraft" is "aircraft" … no "s" after it. Where do yo FIND these people anyway?
SLAVA POLAND
SLAVA UKRAINE
Isn't the plural of aircraft still aircraft?
The Russian planes will be starved of replacement parts
Great planes and hopefully they get Saab jets also
Better have your own stuff instead of trusting someone else with weapons.
Ukraine war has highlighted US and Major Europeans power on their behavior about helping another country defending itself.
💯 % confidence on what you can produce yourself. Those so called security guarantee or article 5 are just toilet paper 📑 as the famous Budapest Memorandum Ukraine has willingly disarming itself with more than 3000 nukes, 4000 long range Rockets, long range bombers and so one.
Ukraine wouldn’t be at this situation if they trusted their arsenal more than a piece of paper written as security guarantees by oncle Sam with the help of France and UK.
Poland 🇵🇱 is going on the right direction like Turkey 🇹🇷. “ we have articles 5 but let’s better arm ourselves instead of trusting someone else army for our security”.
Every Europeans Countries should have Nukes for Peace in Europe or no peace at all for everyone. Since nuclear weapons have become toll of territorial expansion and imperialism.
Aircrafts? Don,t you mean Aircraft?
Some Ukrainian pilots have been training on F-16s for a while now. So why the f**k is Ukraine going to have to wait until next year to start take delivery? They are URGENTLY NEEDED NOW!
Toasts? Aitcrafts?
Much are they going to cost on the black market 😂😂😂😂 . Can't wait for them to get fkd by the Russians . I want to start hearing the excuses . They were painted the wrong colour . The wheels were put on upside down . But I'll back the excuse that the Nazis couldn't fly them . 😂😂😂
A very capable low-cost F16 derived and NATO specific South Korean fighter bomber to bolster Polands defenses and the Eastern rim of our NATO alliance. Well done Poland 🇵🇱. Well done.
su-35 vs FA-50 who would win 😏
STILL better than none.
