For a long time, the United States and Russia have occupied the vast majority of the global share of international arms sales, but with the start of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, Russia's first-class equipment exports in the international arms sales market have also shown less and less, of course, for Russia, Russia does not want to export first-class equipment, but Russia has been unable to do so in the process of exporting a large number of first-class equipment, on the one hand, because Russia has been sanctioned and suppressed by a large number of overseas countries. On the other hand, it is also because it is very difficult for Russia to meet the number of domestic equipment used, so it is difficult for Russia to provide its equipment to more overseas countries, such as high-end fighters, in fact, there are very few countries that can achieve exports, and as we all know, for a long time, the United States has been continuously improving the export of air force equipment to overseas countries, and the high cost of the United States has also made many countries unbearable, China's large number The equipment is mainly cost-effective, and when a large number of China's first-class equipment is cost-effective, in fact, there are not many countries that choose Chinese fighters at present.
It can be seen that in recent years, China has also continued to display Chinese-made fighters on the international platform, including the JF-17 Thunder fighter jointly developed by China and Pakistan, of course, in the process of displaying the JF-17 Thunder fighter, more by Pakistan to display the JF-17 Thunder fighter, and China has also repeatedly demonstrated the L15 advanced training aircraft, although the L15 is called the advanced training aircraft, but in fact, the L15 advanced training aircraft can also play the role of a light fighter, However, South Korea is now constantly competing with China on the international arms sales platform, and even South Korea has once again obtained the intention from African countries, it is understood that South Korea recently made public a message pointing out that the African country Senegal is likely to choose the FA-50 light fighter made in South Korea.
FA-50 light fighter is South Korea continues to show off a domestic **, FA-50 light fighter in the design process actually got the help of the United States Lockheed Martin, of course, FA-50 light fighter also has a lot of parts can be used with F-16 fighter jets, at present, the South Korean Air Force Black Hawk flight show team is using FA-50 light fighter for flight shows, and FA-50 light fighter after the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict also received a large number of orders from Poland, Poland is trying to modernize its air force by buying a large number of FA-50 light fighters from South Korea to replace some of the older Soviet-made fighters in the Polish Air Force's combat sequence.
Judging from the news reported recently, the African country Senegal has been rumored to be promoting the purchase of South Korean-made FA-50 light fighters, and judging from the rumors, the country will cost 1$47 to order 4 FA-50 light fighters, Senegal had planned to buy L39NG light attack aircraft from the Czech Republic, but now Senegal has changed its choice, Senegal will purchase FA-50 light fighters from South Korea, the total number of fighters in the Senegal Air Force is only 25, and 25 are not all fighters, including a large number of *** It can be seen that 4 FA-50 light fighters are enough to change the strength of the Senegalese Air Force.
In recent years, China is also trying to export the best equipment to some African countries, but now Senegal has not chosen the best equipment from China, but the FA-50 light fighter made in South Korea, from the performance of South Korea's FA-50 light fighter, the FA-50 light fighter is not better than the Thunder fighter in terms of performance, and even inferior to the Thunder Dragon fighter jointly developed by China and Pakistan, but Senegal did not choose the model jointly developed by China and Pakistan, Instead, the Korean model was chosen.
