The KAI T-50 Golden Eagle (
Development of the T-50 began in the late 1990s, and its maiden flight occurred in 2002. It entered active service with the Republic of Korea Air Force (ROKAF) in 2005. The T-50 has been further developed into aerobatic and combat variants, namely T-50B, TA-50, and FA-50. An F-50 single-seat multirole fighter variant was considered before being cancelled. The T-50B serves with the South Korean air force's aerobatics team.
The T-50 is in service with a number of countries. Iraq received 24 training variants designated T-50IQ in 2016. The TA-50 light attack variant has also been operated by Indonesia, 16 planes entered service by 2014 and an additional 6 aircraft were ordered in 2021. The Philippines operate the FA-50 light fighter variant, 12 of which were delivered over the next few years with the country considering to order another batch of 12 planes. Thailand ordered 12 units of the T-50 advanced trainer variant (T-50TH) starting in 2015. In 2022, Poland ordered 48 FA-50 aircraft, followed by Malaysia in 2023 that ordered 18 of the latest Block 20 variant.
Development
Origins
The T-50 program was originally intended to develop an indigenous
The mother program, code-named KTX-2, began in 1992,[7] but the Ministry of Finance and Economy suspended KTX-2 in 1995 due to financial constraints.[8] The basic design of the aircraft was set by 1999.[1] The development of the aircraft was funded 70% by the South Korean government, 17% by KAI, and 13% by Lockheed Martin.[1]
The aircraft was formally designated as the T-50 Golden Eagle in February 2000.[1] The T-50A designation was reserved by the U.S. military to prevent it from being inadvertently assigned to another aircraft model.[9][10] Final assembly of the first T-50 took place between 15 January and 14 September 2001.[1] The first flight of the T-50 took place in August 2002, with initial operational assessment from 28 July to 14 August 2003.[1]
KAI and Lockheed Martin were pursuing a joint marketing program for the T-50 internationally. The ROKAF placed a production contract for 25 T-50s in December 2003, with aircraft scheduled to be delivered between 2005 and 2009.
Improved variants
The program has expanded beyond a trainer concept to include the TA-50 light
The FA-50 is an advanced version of the T-50, possessing more internal fuel capacity, enhanced avionics, a longer radome, and a tactical datalink.
In December 2008, South Korea awarded a contract to KAI to convert four T-50s to FA-50 standard by 2012. In 2012, the ROKAF ordered 20 FA-50 fighters to be delivered by the end of 2014.
In December 2015, KAI revealed the KAI-LM T-50 T-X upgrade intended to compete in the U.S. T-X program. This variant features a dorsal hump for extra internal fuel and an aerial refuelling receptacle, large area display (LAD), and embedded ground training systems.[33][34][35]
In October ADEX 2017, KAI unveiled the T-50A as a new variant based on the FA-50, including fifth generation cockpit, an aerial refuelling receptacle, cockpit multifunction display, dorsal hump for extra internal fuel, and an embedded training suite.[36] By January 2019, KAI had begun development on the improved FA-50, referred to as the Block 10 and Block 20 upgrades. Block 10 is a software upgrade that can use the Lockheed Martin AN/AAQ-33 sniper targeting pod, while the Block 20 has an improved capability for beyond-visual-range air-to-air missions, carrying munitions such as the AIM-120 AMRAAM.[37]
On 15 May 2023, KAI chose the Raytheon PhantomStrike over the Northrop Grumman AN/APG-83 to be the FA-50 Block 20's radar. The PhantomStrike weighs 68 kg (150 lb) (lighter than the existing FA-50 radar) and is an air-cooled compact AESA radar with digital beam forming and steering, multi-mode functionality and interleaved ground and air targeting capabilities. Raytheon expects PhantomStrike to be delivered to KAI in 2025.[38][39]

Operational history
Republic of Korea
In 2011, the first squadron with the TA-50, the T-50's light attack variant, became operational with the ROKAF.[78] The ROKAF's Black Eagles aerobatic team operates the T-50B version. In 2014, the FA-50 was officially deployed by the ROKAF with President Park Geun-hye officially leading a ceremony during which a flight demonstration was held showing its capabilities. 20 FA-50s was assigned its own Air Force wing. 60 FA-50s were ordered by ROKAF.[79] On 9 October 2014, an FA-50 successfully test fired an AGM-65 Maverick at a stationary target, a retired ship.[80]
Indonesia
In July 2021, KAI confirmed that it has been awarded a US$240 million contract to supply another batch of six T-50s along with a support and logistics package.[88]
Iraq
Iraq first publicly expressed official interest in the T-50 trainers during the Korea–Iraq summit in Seoul on 24 February 2009.[89] In April 2010, Iraq reopened the jet lead-in fighter-trainer competition for 24 aircraft, in which TA-50 competed.[90] In December 2013, Iraq signed a contract for 24 T-50IQ aircraft, a FA-50 variant, plus additional equipment and pilot training over the next 20 years.[91][92] The first batch of aircraft was delivered in March 2017 while the second batch arrived in May 2018.[93][94] However, none were not flown until June 2022, following the negotiation of a maintenance, logistics and training contract with KAI in November 2021.[95]
Philippines
The Philippine Air Force (PAF) chose 12 TA-50s to fulfill its requirement for a light attack and lead-in fighter trainer aircraft. The Department of National Defense (DND) announced the selection of the type in August 2012.[62] Funding for 12 aircraft was approved by Congress in September 2012.[96]
In January 2013, state media reported that the FA-50 variant, not the TA-50 as previously reported, was selected for procurement.[97] In October 2013, President Benigno Aquino III said that the DND was close to finalizing the FA-50 deal.[98] On 19 October 2013, President Aquino and President Park Geun-hye of South Korea signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with provisions for acquisitions.[99] On 13 February 2014, President Aquino approved the payment scheme and budget of P18.9 billion ($415.7 million) for 12 lead-in fighter trainers.[100] On 28 March 2014, the DND signed a contract for 12 FA-50s worth P18.9 billion (US$421.12 million).[101][102]
Deliveries began in November 2015,[103] all 12 aircraft were delivered by 31 May 2017.[104][105] Plans were laid for 3 or 4 FA-50s to be fitted with capability for beyond visual range (BVR) intercept.[106] In March 2015, Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) reported that the Philippines plans to order additional FA-50s,[107][108] which is supported by the PAF Flight Plan 2028 that lists another 12 FA-50s planned for the future.[109][110]
On 26 January 2017, two PAF FA-50PHs conducted a nighttime attack on terrorist hideouts in
In June 2018, the PAF was reportedly reviewing the possible acquisition of 12 more aircraft.[117][118] PAF Chief Lt. Gen Connor Anthony Canlas Sr. reiterated this possibility in a media interview in June 2022.[119][109]
On 2 February 2019, two PAF FA-50s dropped eight 250-pound bombs on a base of the ISIS-linked
On 25 June 2020, in relation to its 73rd founding anniversary, the PAF conducted a live fire exercise off the coast of Palawan, performing the first live-firing of an AGM-65G2 Maverick missile from a FA-50PH at a floating target to demonstrate its anti-ship capabilities.[121]
On 25 December 2020, one day before the 52nd anniversary of the Communist Party of the Philippines, a PAF FA-50 dropped six bombs, including a GPS-guided bomb, that resulted in the deaths of three New People's Army rebels at their base camp in Daguma Mountain Range in Sultan Kudarat province.[122]
On 26 April 2023, as part of the 2023 BALIKATAN Exercises, a PAF FA-50PH took part in the sinking of target ship ex-BRP Pangasinan as part of SINKEX (Sinking Exercise) under BALIKATAN Exercises, firing a single AGM-65G2 Maverick missile.[123]

Possible sales
- Azerbaijan: Azerbaijani Air Forces has expressed interest in purchasing T-50 trainers.[139]
- Bolivia: the T-50 has been offered to the Bolivian Air Force as their new light jet fighter.[140]
- Botswana: The FA-50 was offered to Botswana.[141]
- Brunei: The Royal Brunei Air Force has expressed interest in the FA-50.[142]
- Colombia: On 29 April 2022 it was rumored that the Colombian Air Force had chosen 20 TA-50s and FA-50s as its next trainer and fighter.[143] but it was later denied by the Colombian Air Force[144]
- Croatia: The FA-50 is also being offered to Croatia, which is deciding on a replacement for its aging fleet of MiG-21BIS aircraft.[145] However, in October 2017, KAI did not bid[146] as the FA-50 could not satisfy the Croatian fighter requirements.[citation needed] The Croatian Air Force then selected the French Rafale.[citation needed] Croatia needs to purchase lead in-trainer aircraft that KAI could bid on. The program is yet to be announced by the Croatian government.[citation needed]
- Egypt: On 16 January 2023, Karakorum-8 trainer jets.[citation needed]
- Pakistan: The Pakistan Air Force is considering the purchase of the South Korean KAI T-50 Lead-in Fighter Trainer (LIFT) to revamp its air force training program.[147]
- Peru: The FA-50 is being offered to Peru.[148]
- Senegal: Senegal announced that they will acquire the FA-50 on 29 January 2024.[149]
- Spain: The
- Slovakia: On October 3, 2021 Yonhap News Agency reported that Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI) was seeking to export the FA-50 to the Slovak Air Force.[153] A memorandum of understanding (MOU) was reportedly signed between KAI and LOTN, a Slovakian state-owned enterprise to facilitate industrial offset negotiations.
- United Arab Emirates: The United Arab Emirates Air Force is seeking 35–40 fighter-trainers. In February 2009, the UAE selected the M-346 over the T-50.[154] In January 2010, the UAE reopened the trainer contest.[155] In 2011, it was confirmed that the T-50 was still competing for the UAE purchase.[156]
- United States: The TF-50A, a variant FA-50, is one of the contenders for the U.S. Air Force's Advanced Tactical Trainer program, with plans to build between 100 and 400 aircraft.[157] The TF-50N, a variant FA-50, is one of the contenders for the U.S. Navy's Tactical Surrogate Aircraft program, planning to manufacture 64 aircraft.[157] The TF-50N is also one of the contenders for the U.S. Navy's Undergraduate Jet Training System (UJTS) program, planning to manufacture 145 aircraft.[158][159]
- Vietnam: The Government of Vietnam looks to purchase FA-50 light fighters from the U.S. and South Korea.[160]
Failed bids
- Argentina: The Argentine Air Force evaluated the FA-50 as a potential new platform in 2016.[161] Argentina sought to buy the FA-50 through repatriation in Korea; the Argentine defense minister reported stated that when the financial aid is secured, a contract for the FA-50 with KAI can be signed by December 2017.[162] By July 2019, Argentina was set to buy FA-50s as an interim replacement for the retired Mirage 3, 5, and Dagger force, and to help replace the A-4AR Fightinghawk fleet, as those aircraft are aging and becoming difficult to maintain.[163][164] KAI later notified Argentina that a sale was not possible as the UK blocked it due to an arms embargo — the aircraft features various British components, including Martin-Baker ejection seats.[165]
- Israel: The Israeli Air Force evaluated the T-50 as a possible replacement for its McDonnell Douglas A-4N Skyhawk II trainers since 2003.[166] On 16 February 2012, Israel announced its decision to procure 30 Alenia Aermacchi M-346 Masters instead.[167][168]
- Singapore: The
- Taiwan: The Republic of China Air Force is looking to replace its current fleet of AT-3 jet trainers and F-5 LIFT planes with 66 advanced trainers, both Lockheed Martin with the T-50 and Alenia Aermacchi with the M-346 responded to a request for information (RFI). They were expected to be license produced in Taiwan with a local partner firm, and the overall estimated contract value is 69 billion New Taiwan dollars (US$2.2 billion).[171] However, Taiwan decided to build 66 AIDC T-5 Brave Eagle supersonic trainers based on Taiwan's existing AIDC F-CK-1 Ching-kuo fighters for NT$68.6 billion instead of selecting the T-50 or M-346.[172]
- United States: The T-50A was a contender for the T-7 trainer.[174][22] In January 2020, the USAF gave notice that it would lease four to eight T-50A trainers from Hillwood Aviation due to the T-7A being delayed.[175] In August 2020 the acquisition was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic; in October it was announced that the plan had been further delayed.[176]
- Uzbekistan: In October 2015, the U.S. refused to approve the sale of T-50s to Uzbekistan.[177][178] The T-50 uses a US-made engine, the F404, which requires a US export license to re-export to another country along the T-50.[179]
