Just because it has LERX doesn't mean it's an F-16 ripoff...

F-16 has fuselage shielded inlets(mounted at the bottom) while the Yak-130 has strake shielded inlets(mounted on the side)

F-16 has one engine while the Yak-130 has two

And the list goes on and on

The KAI T50 design is largely based on the licensed-built KF-16...and it was even partly funded by Lockheed Martin.

KAI T-50 Golden Eagle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The basic design of the aircraft was set by 1999. The development of the aircraft was funded 13% by Lockheed Martin, 17% by Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI), and 70% by the government of South Korea.

The T-50 Golden Eagle design is largely derived from the F-16 Fighting Falcon, and they have many similarities: use of a single engine, speed, size, cost, and the range of weapons. KAI's previous engineering experience in license-producing the KF-16 was a starting point for the development of the T-50.

The T-50 Golden Eagle uses a single General Electric F404-102 turbofan engine license-produced by Samsung Techwin, upgraded with a Full Authority Digital Engine Control (FADEC) system jointly developed by General Electric and Korea Aerospace Industries. The engine consists of three-staged fans, seven axial stage arrangement, and an afterburner. The aircraft has a maximum speed of Mach 1.4-1.5.[42] Its engine produces a maximum of 78.7 kN (17,700 lbf) of thrust with afterburner.The General Electric F414 engine has been suggested as the new engine for the T-50 family, as well as Rolls Royce's EJ200 to allow better compatibility with European air forces. Both engines provide more thrust compared to the F404.

Notice how I used Yak-130(M-346) instead of T-50

While they look similar, they are hardly the same plane

[Monseratto]

The M346 looks too similar to a CHINESE Trainer than the T50

May tama ka! Para saan ang Hamilton ships kung 76 mm gun lang ang panlaban. Lagyan man lang ng Frigate Missile, Lander Missile, Panzer Missile, Bomber Hook at Ultra-electro magnetic top.

Yung huling jet fighter na F-8 Crusaders, kahit sidewinder missles wala. Canon lang ata.
