Korea is expected to export T-50 Golden Eagles to Iraq, as the Middle Eastern country seeks to import Korea's advanced trainer jets as part of efforts to rebuild its war-torn army.
The deal is expected to pave the way for Korea to supply next-generation military jet trainers to other countries, demonstrating its superiority over rival jets, such as the M-346 by Italy's Alenia Aermacchi.
Iraq's official request for the acquisition of T-50 trainer jets was made during the Korea-Iraq summit in Seoul on Feb. 24, in which the two countries struck a $3.55-billion deal to develop oil reserves in southern Iraq and construct social infrastructure in Iraq.
