Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI) has shared the first photos of what will be Poland’s new FA-50 Fighting Eagle light fighter after the European country inked the deal to acquire the aircraft last September. The FA-50s will help ease the Polish Air Force’s dependence on its aging Soviet-era fleet of Su-22 Fitter ground-attack jets and MiG-29 fighters, the latter of which Warsaw has been saying it would be willing to send to Ukraine on and off for nearly a year.
The photos of the Polish FA-50s released by KAI were taken at the company’s Sacheon facility in South Korea.

It can be a test of character, such as in Captain America: The First Avenger, or a way to take out a tank, as in All Quiet on the Western Front. They generally make for a crowd pleasing scene.
