The first South Korean KF-21 fifth-generation aircraft, the prototype for the first time half-buried mounted four "Meteor" air-to-air missiles developed by the European Missile Group. On the afternoon of the 19th, the KF-21 "Falcon" fighter independently developed by South Korea conducted its first flight test on the runway of the Third Training Flight Regiment of the Air Force of Sacheon City, Gyeongsangnam Province, where the headquarters of the Korean Aerospace Industry Corporation (KAI) is located. South Korea's KF-21 will carry four streamers, but will not be equipped with major equipment such as infrared search and tracking systems. South Korea's KF-21 fighter jets only conduct 30 to 40 minute test flights at a speed of 400 kilometers per hour to test basic aerodynamic performance. With the success of the test flight, South Korea will become the eighth country in the world to successfully develop a supersonic fighter and the fourth country in the world to develop a "fifth-generation aircraft". The premise of all arms trade is political transactions, KF21 was originally prepared for the Western camp and countries in the range of influence can not buy F35, not good enough, but enough, these countries generally do not have much military pressure, and countries that can buy China's advanced weapons can directly consider the J-35. KF21 is designed as a fighter for the purpose, although there are many compromises, but should be able to achieve the level of stealth, stealth modification brought advantages are not small, can not beat the orthodox stealth fighter and equipped with the fifth generation of aircraft radar of the fourth generation of aircraft, can play a dozen non-cutting generation of the third generation of aircraft or can. According to Indonesia's "Compass Newspaper", on the evening of July 18, local time, a South Korean-made T-50i "Golden Eagle" fighter of the Indonesian Air Force crashed in Brora, and casualties are being confirmed. The fighter took off from Isvayodi Air Force Base in East Java province, lost contact with the ground while conducting flight training, and was eventually confirmed to have crashed by the Indonesian Air Force. #Korea ##五代机 #
