A #Moroccan delegation, led by the Moroccan Minister of Defense, met with #Korea KAI officials at the World Defense Show 2026, currently being held in #Saudi Arabia #WDS2026
We can notice a model of the FA-50 light fighter jet offered to the 🇲🇦 minister.
The FA-50 could be of great interest to the Royal Moroccan #AirForce as a replacement for the Alphajets; it can serve as an advanced training #aircraft and also perform various air-to-ground and air-to-air missions.
It is a "mini #F-16" with the same or equivalent armament/electronic suite, US General Electric #engine, acquired in recent years by various air forces that operate with the F-16 such as #Poland, #Indonesia or #Iraq.
In its latest version it has an AESA #radar and it can carry the AIM-120 for example. #Morocco #Korean
