Equivocado, seguro van por una nueva version del LM/KAI T-50B , monoplaza y con BVR + armamento Stand off
todos los caminos llevan a ROMA
El equivocado me parece que sos vos:
1er - Usemos el criterio, en la era Trump porque van a gastar plata en convertir al T-50 en un F-16 si ya tienen al F-16, porque van a ponerse en gastar plata para convertir a un producto Coreano en un caza monoplaza que salga a disputar mercados, por mas participación que tenga Lockheed.
2do - Leamos la nota completa en lugar de quedarnos con el titulo y elucubrar sinsentidos:
"chief Gen David Goldfein aid the USAF would run an experiment in the spring assessing off-the-shelf options to fill a low-end fighter role."
"The experiment would continue a previous US Special Operations Command effort known as Combat Dragon II, which demonstrated whether the Vietnam-era OV-10 Bronco could be fielded in counter-insurgency operations over Afghanistan."
"Goldfein’s vision for light-attack appears to target a new, existing aircraft."
"
In the age of Trump, Paramount or Embraer, as foreign companies, could face an uphill battle. That leaves the floor open to existing options from American companies, including IOMAX. US-based Textron AirLand's Scorpion, which was not entered in the USAF’s T-X trainer programme, could find new life as a low-cost attack airplane."
"Scorpion is one of several aircraft the USAF will examine during an experiment slated for this spring that will consider low-cost fighter options, Goldfein said last month."
La nota es clara, aviones nuevos ya existentes, incluso nombra los candidatos probables (Scorpion, AT-6, AT-29, MWari, Thrush Aircraft S2R-T660)....ningún delirio de gastar dinero en el desarrollo de una nueva variante del T-50 inyectada de esteroides
