The first Czech aircraft L-159A arrived in Iraq

26
The two first L-159A ALCA aircraft purchased from the Czech company Aero Vodochody for the Iraqi Air Force arrived at the Iraqi Balad base on their own from the Czech Republic, the blog reports bmpd.



The contract for the supply to Iraq of 10-ti light single combat aircraft L-159A and 2-x two-seater combat training L-159T1 was signed in 2014. The agreement also provides for the supply of 3-x L-159A, which will become a source of spare parts.

Under the terms of the contract, 4 combat aircraft must come from the presence of the Czech army, and the rest will be taken from storage. The final transaction value (which was finalized only one year after its conclusion) was about $ 30 million.

        They seem to have bought Mi-28 helicopters.
        And the Czechs shouldn’t be up to evaluate the L-159, but also in option A, the attack aircraft are not bad and cheap.
        Where is the Yak-130, A, in the assault version? Only in the "offer." And the goods need to be promoted, Syria, as a slave, you can try.

      The point is the price. L-159 was created as a UBS, unlike the L-39t UTS, the best engines, more fuel, Israeli radar, and American ASP.
      The Czechs did it for themselves, but then refused, they canned the car, wrapped it in cellophane and put it in storage. For many years, they tried to throw them to someone, but there were no buyers. The price tag fell, fell, until it fell a penny, so Iraq took it. They really wanted to buy a Korean T-50, but it was expensive, so the Czechs got it.

      He is toothy, he can throw a controlled bomb or launch a maverick. If the Iraqis still screw some Talesovsky container, then it will be quite a good airplane for local actions.

      Iraq is now picking up all of the same. He took these 15 aircraft for 750 million crowns (30 lyam bucks) from the availability of (4 used and 11 refuseniks). At the same time, Iraq already has bombs and missiles for them.

      They took a pack of L-159 from the availability for the price of two Yaks without weapons.

      Stropnicky said his ministry would receive 750 million crowns ($ 29.89 million) for the Iraqi sale. Four of the planes are currently being used by the Czech air force, while the remaining 11 are stored by the plane maker.

      Used 4 and 11 refuseniks from the warehouse for 28 lyamov. Moreover, unlike the Yak-130, for which the shock modification is only in the plans, and as of now it can only be made from a hanging gun + Cast iron and Nara (but this is not on the production ones, only experienced OKBshnye ones) - the L-159 shoots itself with Mavericks, moreover, Iraq already has Mavericks. And he throws correctable bombs from his LTC, and Iraq also has bombs in the package with F-16.

      Only with 4km he correctly throws himself an adjustable bomb (2 or 4 - 500 carries pounds). Or Maverick hits. MANPADS and MZA are fearless.

      Iraq bought 15 planes for 30 million dollars, this is 2 Yaka-130 naked, and then at a discount. Moreover, he received them in a short time.

      An excellent purchase for them, for the money and given the fact that they already have Mavericks and Bombs. Like a light bomber, reinforcing Grach or a helicopter pair. Now they have this role in general Sesna performs.

      And they have no one to fight in the air with! The broads do not have their own aircraft. With Iran, they are brothers forever today. From the Turks they have a buffer in the form of Kurds and IG. Yes and F-16 if that is. The first ones have already received. In the most extreme case, the L-159 drags two Sidewalks and a radar there is inferior (Grifo-L radar).

        From 4 km and below, any self-respecting anti-aircraft gun from the time of the Viet Cong brawl will turn it into a colander.
        I saw these planes in flight over the Tushino airfield in the 90s of the last century.
        You can hear how it flies in advance, you can deploy all the trunks in advance and peel it in advance until the (iron bird) person releases them ....
        There is no protection for the pilot. Still, it would be possible to use it as a fighter, for example against turntables, and working on the ground would be more expensive for itself. This is not Rook and not A10 and not even IL-2.
        In such cases, even a motor hang-glider (the same Sesna) will be in a better situation, he / she will not be noticed (heard) at least right away.
        And he will definitely not be able to get away from the air defense after the attack (as was expected by ground targets). Therefore, we can once again say that 1 Mercedes is better than 10 Cossacks, especially Western ones.

          Good time. In the first Iraq already used the L-39, in the eighties the Iraqi Air Force bought 81 units and it was very enough (Albatrosses proved to be quite good attack aircraft). L-39 by the way were the flying school desk of the entire Warsaw Pact. L-159 is a direct descendant of L -39. They wanted to buy 30 pieces from the Czechs, something didn’t work out, they spread to the Koreans, they simply couldn’t physically put the t-50s, returned to the Czech Republic and took what was available. Now, at the expense of our Yak-130-when Iraq received them in such quantity? and for what money-Su-25 they bought from us, too, from the reserves of the Air Force

    Q-1 is there "in stock" combat training Yak-130? And the second thing. Iraq is no longer a Soviet ally as it used to be. His aviation is practically all Western. And, accordingly, aviation weapons. Is the Yak-130 adapted for the use of Western-style ASPs? I think not, unlike the L-159

    Are you sure? Let me quote from the air show:
    The next major refinement of the fuselage design was the reservation of the cockpit. It was necessary to ensure the protection of the pilot from small arms and fragments of shells and missiles.

    And not every plane must be as armored as our SU-25. Before its appearance, there were SU-17s and their export modifications, and were not armored like the SU-25. Besides, "Elka" is primarily a light multipurpose attack aircraft, and there are a lot of such unarmored attack aircraft in the world. They are even allocated a separate subclass - COIN. And designed for use where there is no serious air defense

    Quote: Mama_Cholli
    In such cases, even a motor hang-glider (the same Sesna) will be in a better situation, he / she will not be noticed (heard) at least right away.

    So a moto-deltoplane or is it Cessna? And why "Cessna" is better than a specialized combat aircraft.

    Quote: Mama_Cholli
    And he will definitely not be able to get away from the air defense after the attack (as was expected by ground targets).

    Sure? Do ISIS need to understand very powerful air defense with a continuous radar field? In the same way, any other aircraft will not go away in case of adverse situations.
