The United States will speed up the delivery of four reconnaissance aircraft to Jordan

The US sends X-NUMX AT-4 aircraft to Jordan, converted for reconnaissance, reports TASS Fox News post.

AT-802U

"The US Air Force forced the delivery of these planes at the request of Amman, who needs help in countering the threat," coming from the IG faction on the border with Iraq and Syria, the report said.

“These four aircraft are urgently required to eliminate the lack of combat power, which with a high degree of probability will lead to combat losses,” the TV channel quotes the justification of the order of the US Air Force at its disposal. “The Kingdom of Jordan is faced with a myriad of threats that require trained personnel from the US Central Command (Armed Forces) to assist in anti-terrorist operations.”

According to the channel's assessment, “the document points to the possibility of also sending American troops to Jordan”.

According to Fox News, the AT-802 company Air Tractor, "designed these aircraft so that they can be easily upgraded and equipped with the most modern intelligence equipment." Each year, the company builds up to two hundred such aircraft, said the channel.

Screw. Save, or what?

And the company is interestingly called ... As I understand it - "Air Tractor"?

[crazyrom]

This is plagiarism, it is very similar to the Il-Xnumx but probably without armor.

The Brazilian Embraer Corporation produced the first turboprop attack aircraft EMB-314 Super Tucano for the Colombian Air Force, Defense-Aerospace.http: //lenta.ru/news/2006/12/08/tucano/ reports.

Do you want them to be planted immediately from camels on supersonic?

The United States is beginning to "weld" in the war ... Maybe on the American continent to arrange a "war" ..? For Chinganchguk ... (many in childhood read and played, it would be time to make dreams come true ..))))

Sooo even useful for their defense industry. One problem is that transport companies will not get any benefit, the LDP is too close, you do not need to take it far, and they can crawl under your own power. In general, the idea is very. It is necessary to develop it.

This model of an aircraft is used in the states as an agricultural one, a glider towing ... in short, a "maize". It was also produced in Poland under the "Dromedary" brand, if my memory serves me .. In short, God forbid, that we are not good ..

But to be fair, in our 90s at the Smolensk Aircraft Plant, an attack aircraft was developed and even built based on a sports model (one of the options for the Yak-18). It was intended for border guards.

DPRK demonstrated an attack aircraft based on An-2 at an air parade. Not sickly NURSami naughty.

[Tor5]

Miracles, it seems like we, too, with Jordan have mixed up something joint.

[Observer2014]

Dear, wait a bit about this plane. Let's figure it out. This plane has been used for a very long time as a light attack aircraft and sprayer with a herbicide of coca fields in South America. It is very economical and it’s natural that against such an army as Russian submarine cars are toys.
But against gangs of formations, partisans, minor conflicts, and so on. the very thing.
I have long wanted to express a seditious thought. But I can't resist. Isn't it time for the Russian army to acquire airplanes of "clear sky" such as, for example, the AC-130 "Spectrum" based on Hercules.
no, in no case I am not talking about the purchase of this aircraft. And I am talking about creating something similar.
And we also need light attack aircraft and scouts with our open spaces! They are cheap both in operation and in their own cost.

USA sends AT-4 aircraft converted to reconnaissance to Jordan 802

Of course, it’s not a scout, but a special anti-guerrilla attack aircraft specially created on the basis of an agricultural aircraft, with sufficiently strong protection, powerful weapons and aimed navigational avionics.

If someone does not agree with me, he can always voice his arguments.

[A-Sim]

For what purpose does a scout have a bomb under the fuselage?

[Kolka82]

What are you, this is a video camera (even 2) !!!

Well, yes, this is an agricultural airplane - sprayed chemical weapons.

[Rriv]

They wanted to do similar at Sukhoi’s company.

[jjj]

In the USSR, they were almost going to re-equip the PANKh agricultural park. But it did not grow together. In the conditions of our sites, only "An-2"

[Turbo rabbit]

I can’t understand, this is where to install intelligence equipment in this machine? Or do they serve for reconnaissance using visual observation? By the principle, and garbage, and they will do such a thing?

[clidon]

Hanging container most likely.

In the container under the fuselage. IR electronically-optical Star SAFIRE 380-HLD system.

The spiders in the jar fussed. Forced delivery, a threat to Amman.
And even American instructors are urgently delivered. Hooked?

The flashlight looks like plastic frames, which I recently installed on the balcony.

Wow, I didn’t know that they thought of making an intelligence out of an agricultural plane. A suitable platform is a flying tank. And flies like an iron. A tank for chemistry in the nose is now used for fuel? Original.

[samarin1969]

This joyful American cry: "Jordanians !! .." I have already heard somewhere ... It remains to shoot the film "Assad - the Revenge of the Desiptecons"

[DenZ]

A pilot in this, I'm not afraid of the word, "airplane" is a potential kamikaze. If only he hangs at 5000 meters and higher, it can be calm.

[clidon]

No more kamikaze than in a helicopter.

[artura0911]

it's not a scout but a flying target))))))))) it can even be shot down from Glocka)))))))))))))))))))))

A nightmare, what a clumsy creation, one exhaust pipe is worth what, and the cabin is like a plywood shed. Freak!!

[31rus]

The Americans will help, which means the end of Jordan, the Prince of Jordan, just was in Moscow and with his consent Jordan joined our coalition, that this is a "disguised step" with the possibility of cooperation or throwing from camp to camp

I wonder why the reconnaissance aircraft set up and not drones. Doesn't the drone solve the same problems? Does anyone know?

Air Tractor AT-802 in operation is much cheaper than a strike aircraft or helicopter, more versatile than UAVs, and its effectiveness in combating partisans is high because it has a long flight time, and a modern ECO (under the fuselage) provides good visibility and guidance from altitudes of more than 4 km. PSA Paveway will defeat most targets.

[Maksus]

This is a cut, this is a plane of agricultural production !!!! What a scout, they went to the Americans at a glance: I can’t get the Penguin out of the way, we’ll sell idiots to idiots !!!!

[afrikanez]

Are they mocking the Jordanians?

[Yugan Oleg]

Corncob? But look from the other side - simplicity, unpretentiousness, the ability to land and take off from an unprepared site. The main value is optoelectronics on the suspension.
Our Yak152 such a suspension, ah lyalka would be.
