A squadron of South Korean FA-50s from the Polish Air Force was grounded

17

Polish Air Force pilots cannot understand piloting South Korean FA-50 aircraft. Polish information resources report this, providing some details.

It is noted that in September 2022, Warsaw ordered 48 units of such two-seat supersonic combat training jet aircraft from Seoul in the amount of $3 billion. In November 2023, South Korea delivered the first batch of 12 units (squadron) to Poland.



It has now become clear that the agreements between the parties provided for the allocation of a loan to Warsaw in the specified amount for the purchase of aircraft units themselves, but did not include pilot training, the purchase of weapons, spare parts and simulators. Now the Poles have decided to buy standard simulators, but they will not be delivered before the end of 2024, and improved simulators will generally only be delivered after 3 years. Naturally, South Korea has no of technologies is not going to transfer it to Poland.

As a result, it turned out that the much-hyped FA-50 squadron of the Polish Air Force, located at the 23rd Tactical Air Base (Minsk-Mazowiecki), found itself grounded and their flights were suspended. The helpless Poles don't even have certificates for pyrotechnics installed in ejection seats. The most shameful page in the history of the modern Polish Air Force was the invitation in 2023 of South Korean pilots who demonstrated these aircraft to the public at one of the air shows in Poland. The South Koreans flew number one, and behind them in the cockpit sat the Poles number two for visibility. Since the FA-50 was delivered, 5-6 sorties have been recorded.

    The Pollacks are too stupid to learn house to fly these aircraft.

      No. The stupidity of the signatories. The deal was obviously concluded by accountants, not specialists. But for boogers, issues of quality and suitability for use are far from the first place. For them, the main thing is the price of the issue. In our reality, when holding tenders, this is also very common.

    Eustace to Alex. There are planes. There is no possibility of using them. No, this is definitely aerobatics, signing such agreements.

    The Poles thought wrong! It's strange, they usually consider themselves so smart. And I know that they will soon shout: “It’s all V.V. Putin’s fault!” First, in Smolensk, the Russian dispatcher crashed the plane, and the plane was filled to capacity with Poles, and now he persuaded the South Koreans! Ugliness!

    So let's drink to ensure that their desires do not coincide with their capabilities.

    We thought to save money and let the Polish pilots figure it out themselves, but figs! Wow, the Koreans have screwed up such a thing in electronics that without a bottle you can’t figure it out, and you can’t take off or land! Why the hell are such planes even needed?!
    It’s not for nothing that in Geyrop Poles are considered stupid and they make up jokes about them!
    Type:

    - How many Poles does it take to plant a light bulb?
    -Two. One is holding a light bulb, and the other is spinning a stepladder with him.

      I like turbopatriots. Initially, this joke was about the Chukchi, then about the Moldovans. Now they've taken on the Poles? And not two, but four. And it’s not a stepladder, but a table that needs to be turned.

        Well, apparently the Poles are smarter than the Chukchi and Moldovans, so they no longer need a table and four people! And I have never heard such jokes about our Chukchi and Moldovans. But in the West I heard this joke!
        And it was the Poles who still didn’t figure out the narrow-eyed planes, and not our Chukchi, Moldovans, and even more so our turbo patriots!

          It seems you are still too young. Jokes of this kind circulated back in the last century during the time of the almighty (note, without quotes) Soviet Union.

          And it was the Poles who still didn’t figure out the narrow-eyed planes

          And I answered this question in the post above.

            Unfortunately, “it doesn’t seem like it,” we just don’t have such jokes. And I undoubtedly agree about the Great “Almighty” Soviet Union! I managed to live.

    I remember again that in the Polish magazine Przekruj, a journalist who had visited America was indignant that during a cattle drive in Texas, it was announced on the local radio:

    Carefully! Poles on the road!

    People there don't really respect Poles. And if you read “Polish Jokes”, you get a very sad picture!
    The Poles have a saying: Jak cię widzą, tak cię piszą (How they see you is how they describe you)! This is how they are seen!

    But the Psheks also want to buy a thousand Black Panther tanks from the Koreans! Will it be the same parsley? Warriors!
    If we hadn’t put 600 thousand Russians for their fucking Poland in the Great Patriotic War, and then we hadn’t fed them from the belly, we hadn’t restored their production when we ourselves were starving (!), then there wouldn’t be any of their Poland now! We are good in our own right.
