July 21, 201115 yr Something else mentioned in the article: The agency said Seoul will also acquire AH-X attack helicopters from overseas. The AH-1W SuperCobra by Bell and AH-64D Block III by Boeing, both American choppers, will compete with the EC-665 Tiger by Eurocopter of France and the T-129 by Turkey. Contrast with: Korea Aerospace Chosen for Attack Helo, 13 July 2011
July 22, 201115 yr Korea Times I'm actually partial to the F15SE (better quallity, war tested) but the T50 is easily comparible. Both are expected to cost around US $100M, the F15SE is just a touch faster, the T50 acceleration is a little better and both possibly have he same weight/thrust ratio. Could be another reality show. Could the South Koreans call it "The Decision"?
