New buyer for South Korea's KF-21 Falcon fighter jet has arrived!
General Al-Arabi, the Minister of Defense of the UAE, visited South Korea. After that, General Al-Arabi visited the Sacheon Air Force Base in South Korea and experienced a prototype of the KF-21 Falcon fighter jet. General Al-Arabi is an air force pilot by background, so he personally boarded the KF-21 aircraft to experience its capabilities. If necessary, it can be purchased!
The UAE is not a big country, nor is it very powerful, but when it comes to buying equipment, it has always been quite aggressive. The UAE basically does not buy our weapons, and there are not many cooperations. However, the UAE buys a lot of weapons from Europe and France, as well as a considerable amount from the United States. As for the strength of South Korea's KF-21 Falcon fighter jet, it is still unclear now.
It is said to be a fourth-generation semi-plane. Originally, they wanted to develop a fifth-generation plane, but South Korea's technical capability was not enough to develop internal weapon bays, and the US did not provide the technology. Finally, they developed a semi-hidden external mounting bracket, which is still not stealthy, but may have slightly stronger performance, but not much stronger. Let South Korea blow it as they like.
Both the defense ministers of Poland and the UAE have personally tested this KF-21 Falcon fighter jet. They praised it on their lips, but whether they will actually buy it, none have placed orders yet. It is said that India also wants to try this Falcon fighter jet, and whether it can be successfully sold is uncertain.
South Korea has been lucky in recent years. In the past three years of the Ukraine conflict, they have really sold a lot of weapons and earned a lot of money. Now, they are trying to sell fighter jets again to make money. Honestly, they do have some skills, not just talking about it.
