FA-50 fighter jets grounded after friendly fire in Marawi


The military has temporarily suspended the use of FA-50 fighter jets following the friendly fire incident in Marawi City on Wednesday noon. But Padilla said that despite the friendly fire, the aircraft has a “high success rate” in its airstrikes against the terrorists holed up in concrete structures. The military has 12 FA-50 fighter jets bought from Korea Aerospace Industries during the Aquino administration. In May, 10 soldiers were also killed from friendly fire using the SF-260 light attack aircraft. For donation from overseas:Inquirer Foundation Corp account:Inquirer Foundation Corp.
