So, it's an L-39 airframe... with improved canopy, greatly updated avionics, HUD, etc., probably other improvements as well. Good news, as the old LAME canopy was implicated in many FATAL incidents. Wonder if same type rating??? I see instruments and controls labelled in English, perhaps to attract NATO buyers? That would be smart. Also bodes well for civilian L-39 owners as more L-159 sales deepens the support/logistics pipeline for the type.
Alan Caldoza Yes, you are correct. Its received a new Powerplant and updated systems/avionics that allow it to fire western weapons. It still follow the same basic design of the L-39 but has been modified to support more load and g-force. It also is able to carry more through the addition of more hardpoints on the aircraft.
Not real air-to-air fighter, L-159B is just a combat trainer, while in L-159A version is light combat attack fighter for attacks against ground targets (infantry, tanks, cars, trucks, armoured carrier etc.). It's similar plane to new russian Yak-130. Sometimes L-159 is compared to A-10 or Su-25/39, but these are more armoured.
It is not a air-dominance aircraft.. It is lihgt and cheap jet with CAS capability, NATO compatible, AESA radar capability in new versions, no need for high Gs..
Nejkrásnější letadlo světa!!!
L-39 a L-159 jsou moje srdcovky, charakteristický zvuk a silueta, prostě nádhera 😎
Ano Alík a Alča jsou nejkrásnější :) Nemáme se za co stydět.. i když...
@@podivnaexistence6378 jaký pak " i když"?😅 Buďme na to hrdí, že vyrábíme letadla 😉😉😉
This is one of the most attractive aircraft in this category. If I was in the market for a trainer/light attack asset this is the one I’d choose.
u are one of our contenders!!!! we are the Philippines!!!!!!!!!!

Aha, to jsem nevěděl.. Díky za informaci. Něco i o tom najdu.
gotta love the aviators instead of the sun visor :D
Does it carry a gun? Even if only in the ground attack role, a gun might come in handy.
What's new about this jet trainer, maybe the Powerplant or some systems upgraded, but it still look like the ever reliable L-29 Albatross

I'm sure You meant "Albatross" (L-39). Name of mentioned L-29 is "Dolphin"

Attack craft, not fighter. It is designed to counter ground targets rather than airborne threats.
So why the Sidewinders?

Why didn't the USA give these aircraft to the Iraqi government instead of the expensive American warbirds?
can the 1-159 do an inflight refueling?
Unfortunately can't..
@Ortografuckdisaster czechoslovakia not yet- now we are czech republick
it's not jet trainer it's the 39 that's the jet trainer l 159 is a light attack.
The B designates 2 seats, two seats are usually good for training.
The L-159 is done in single and double seats version. I think the Iraqi army uses them against terrorists.
the best thing since czechs exist!
Zase mizerná hudba, hudba motoru by měla být k poslechu nevím co to je za zhovadilost.
