The Israeli Air Force (IAF) has reportedly issued a request for information on a Korean warplane, which Tel Aviv might rent for training its pilots.
The request for the aircraft, T-50 Golden Eagle fighter jet trainer, coincides with an underway examination by the military branch of M-346, an Italian transonic trainer aircraft, The Media Line, an outlet reporting on the Middle East, reported on Monday.
Should the IAF make use of the aircraft, it would mark a rare attempt by Tel Aviv to enlist the service of allies other than the United States, from whom it annually receives $3 billion in military aid.
The T-50 is mainly used to prepare military cadets to fly next-generation fighter planes like F-35 and F-16I.
Both foreign aircraft are capable of carrying weapons.
