South Korea has no habit to study and produce jet engine. I'm afraid of another Kaveri story....

Nope they'll have a jet engine on the lines of Swedish F414

It is an american engine. Or at least part of it.
Not a true SK one. So they will never be "free" to use it or export it.

I know thats why I wrote Swedish F414 as model which SK shall attempt to get aircraft off assembly line for few production cycles till they mature their tech unless they manage to get some tech transfer from some other menand or other countries.

Could be an opportunity for IAF.

Why do people post fake news without verifying anything? Even without confirming it real or fake. Think logically, why would UAE abandon a most optimum fighter jet only slightly below F-35 for the sake of a puny citizen?

Even if it is true, FROZEN is not CANCELED.
And even in this case, at least 15% have been paid. It is more than the margin on such a deal : a good affair for Dassault.
We don't care of UAE pressures. Without oil, and after the last barril produce, UAE will always be a dwarf.

rumored in France : 114 fighter deal is now on short list between F21 and Rafale.
F21 is not the prefered bird according to IAF, but is helped by a massive US pressure.
Rafale is now well known by IAF, but more costly (and also more potent).
Wait and see now.

btw y'all nibbiars know if the Rafale offered for MRFA is the "old" one or is it the F4 upgrade version.

Knowing the frenchies and them knowing our problems with Uncle Sam making their platform preferable, I wouldn't put it past them to sell us the old one and then charge a hefty premium for making the F4 upgrades later
