Poland Poland Signs for 180 K-2 battle tanks, 48 K-9 self-propelled howitzers and 48 FA-50 fighter jets with South Korea

I wrote that thing half year ago but now i have to say that FA 50 looks better then before, with more capabilities and it actually could be really usefull.
War against Russia show us that light fighter that can carry stuff and its cheaper then F35 is interesting.

Come on, K2 is to replace PT91 and is not going anywhere as long as we still have PT91 and Leopards.
in 2025-26 we will have 180 K2 (much more in produce in Korea, later in Poland), about 350 Abrams and THEN we can think about selling Leopards to whoever but K2 are here to stay for now.

Good that you said this , according to this statement a great deal of Ukraine is Poland not Russia.

Perhaps the misunderstanding stems from the perception that the FA-50 replaces the MIG-29 position in Poland. In fact, they are replacing SU-22.

They seem to train pretty hard.

It was an event that KAI and the Korean Ministry of Defense put a lot of work into. I'm looking forward to the upcoming release of Block 20.

I didn't realize until today that August 15 is also a big day for Poland, and that's why they're choosing such a quick way to go public then.

I expect the rest of the units will go by ship.
