"제일 좋은 걸 왜 안 사?" 세계 최강 스텔스기 두고 한국산 FA-50에 줄 서는 진짜 이유

The world lines up for a fighter jet rated 70 points. Even countries that already possess the ultimate stealth fighter, the F-35, are lining up. A single bill for 16 trillion won, unveiled in Denmark, explained the entire reason. The FA-50 lags behind the F-16 in combat radius, top speed, and weapon rack capacity. Yet, Poland selected 48 units, the Philippines an additional 12, and Malaysia 18. These are choices that would never be possible based solely on performance specifications. The answer was hidden beneath the performance chart. It included 30 years' worth of maintenance costs, operational sovereignty allowing for self-maintenance in emergencies, and even real-world performance already proven in the urban warfare in Marawi, Philippines. Countries around the world had factored all three of these factors into their calculations. And this isn't just a story about fighter jets. It is the same trap of over-speccing that you fell for when choosing a phone or a car yesterday.
