훈련기 대만, AT-3와 F-5를 2024년까지 T-5로 교체

[위종민]

대만이 AT-3 훈련기와 훈련기 용도로 운용중인 F-5를 T-5 훈련기로 교체할 예정입니다. F-5는 2023년을 끝으로 전투임무에서 해제되지만, 정찰형 RF-5E는 F-16과 MQ-9B에 장착될 MS-110 정찰포드가 도입될때까지 운용될 예정이라고 하네요. 

교체가 완료되면 대만은 현재 T-34와 AT-3, F-5로 이뤄진 훈련 프로그램을 T-34와 T-5로 단순화하게 됩니다.

Taiwan is replacing its aging AT-3 and F-5 training aircraft with the domestically developed Brave Eagle advanced trainer.  

The F-5 fighter jets will retire from combat duty by the end of 2023, Taiwan News first reported, quoting a military source. 

However, the current fleet of RF-5E Tigereye jets, a reconnaissance version of the aircraft, will continue their surveillance missions until the Taiwanese Air Force (ROCAF) receives MS-110 reconnaissance pods. Manufactured by Collins Aerospace, these pods can be installed on the ROCAF F-16 fighters or its future MQ-9B drones. 

The AIDC AT-3, also known as the Brave Eagle, is a Taiwanese advanced trainer aircraft domestically designed and manufactured by the Aerospace Industrial Development Corporation (AIDC) to serve as a primary training platform for the ROCAF. As an advanced jet trainer, it will prepare military pilots for high-performance fighter jets.  

The first prototype successfully conducted its maiden flight in June 2020. Since then, AIDC has been steadily delivering these advanced trainers to the ROCAF, which plans to acquire up to 66 aircraft.

In line with the introduction of the Brave Eagle and the retirement of the older aircraft, Taiwan has streamlined its flight training program from three different aircraft, the T-34, the AT-3, and the F-5, to only two, the T-34 and the Brave Eagle. Some F-5 jets may still be transferred to training units to serve in other roles such as target drones or aggressors. Others will be used as decoys near Taiwanese military runways.

근데 RF5 생존성은 있는건지 의문이네요. 계량했다는 이야기를 들어본 적이 없는 것 같은데..
