Malaysia started its search for a new light combat aircraft in 2019. It is looking to replace its BAE Systems Hawk and Aeromacchi MB 339 trainers as well as its MiG-29 fighters. The Royal Malaysian Air Force is seeking a multi-role asset that can also double as a LIFT. With an initial order of 18 aircraft, the winning contractor could secure follow-on orders for a total of 50 to 60 aircraft.
However, the JF-17 is competing against the Korea Aerospace Industries FA-50 Golden Eagle.
So now we are going to compare both fighter aircraft and let’s see which one is the most capable for the Malaysian Air force. So now let’s start today’s comparison.
► JF-17 Thunder Block 2 (Pakistan):
JF-17 Thunder is a single-engine, lightweight, multipurpose combat aircraft that was developed jointly by Chengdu Aircraft Industry Corporation (CAC) of China and the Pakistan Aeronautical Complex (PAC) of Pakistan.
The medium-sized aircraft is built mainly to meet the needs of the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) and will replace its current aging fleet of Nanchang A-5, Chengdu F-7P / PG, and Dassault Mirage III / V fighter aircraft.
JF-17’s maiden flight was completed in August 2003 and entered service in March 2007. The aircraft is designated as Joint Fighter-17 (JF-17 by Pakistan and as Fighter China-1 (FC-1) by China. The JF-17 / FC-1 is expected to cost $15m-20m.
The No.26 Squadron Black Spiders is the first JF-17 Squadron of the PAF, introduced in February 2010. It has been launched with 14 JF-17 aircraft.
JF-17 was showcased at the Farnborough Air Show 2010. Two aircraft of the No.26 Black Spiders Squadron were also displayed at the show.
► FA-50 Golden Eagle (South Korea)
The FA-50 is a light combat aircraft manufactured by Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI) for the Republic of Korea Air Force (ROKAF). It is a light combat version of the KAI T-50 Golden Eagle supersonic advanced jet trainer and light attack aircraft.
Development of the FA-50 combat aircraft began in October 1997. Six prototypes were built during the development phase that concluded in January 2006.
The FA-50 was awarded a military type certificate by the Korean Military Aircraft Airworthiness Committee (MAAC) in October 2012. It is the first fighter-class military aircraft to receive the MAAC certification.
The indigenously developed KAI FA-50 light attack aircraft replaced the ROKAF’s aging fighter fleet of F-5E/F and A-37 aircraft. The FA-50 also strengthens the defence capability of the ROKAF.
Lockheed Martin’s Sniper advanced targeting pod (ATP) will be integrated onto the FA-50 platform by August 2020. The Sniper pod is anticipated to obtain certification by the end of 2020.
