It entered service in the early 21st century (first flight in 2002, entered service in 2005) and is used to this day, both in South Korea and by the air forces of several other countries, including Indonesia, the Philippines, and Thailand. The T-50 is used not only for training pilots of fourth and fifth-generation fighter jets, but it can also serve as a light multirole fighter.
