[quote="djox"]Citat:Polska new KAI's FA-50PL fighter jet updates include advanced radar, Link 16, GBU-12 bombs, Sniper pods, AIM-9X missiles, and refueling.
The Polish industry will handle upgrades and maintenance.
Not so fast!
Now in Poland there's a 12 aircraft in FA-50GF standard (official name: Gap Filler). Aircraft are not even close to FA-50PL - it's a simple Korean basic version! Standard PL is still in plans and is not defined yet, and Polish-Korean talks are still taking place. Poland expects 36 more aircraft to be delivered from 2025, already in PL standard (if it will be ready!). The 12 GF aircraft received at the end of 2023 will be upgrade to PL standard with the participation of Polish aircraft overhaul plants.
