It looks like a blinged out copy of the T38's they fly out at Sheppard.

If they are saying this is a deterrent to US fighters or surface ships they would have a problem. An F22 could shoot them down from 100 Miles. I think they are probably more for use against the local tribesmen or super tankers in the Gulf of Arabia or civilians in Yemen.

Why did they put a Bullseye target over the fuselage?

In my humble (LOL!) opinion, if they had copied the F-5G, aka F-20 Tigershark, I would be worried. A non-radar, gun only F-5G would be a hand full for any modern fighter.

Large numbers of cheap, powerful, reliable aircraft is a hard combination to over come.

I bet this can take it down New Air Force light attack plane moves quickly toward combat Brazilian made with Pratt Whitney Canada engines? Not very American.

Large numbers of cheap, powerful, reliable aircraft is a hard combination to over come. This. Defense strategists have to decide which path to take...high tech, expensive, aircraft with huge capabilities...or, cheaper, agile, fighters that you can mass produce. The T-38 and F-5 are not the same aircraft. The t-38 is a twin engine trainer capable of exceeding the speed of sound. I have 120 hours in it. The F-5 has, iirc, a single engine. It is designed as a combat aircraft. It was used to simulate enemy fighters at combat tactics schools.

Is it just me or does this look suspiciously like an American two seat F-5? The T-38 is a 2 seater, the F-5 a single seater. The USAF Thunderbirds flew T-38s.
