The jet has been designed to carry out a variety of air-to-air, air-to-ground and reconnaissance missions.
The aircraft is equipped with an advanced multimode all-weather radar and can perform a range of Nato-standard payloads, including air-to-air and air-to-ground missiles as well as laser guided bombs.
The Czech Republic offered 24 combat aircraft to Iraq in mid April, according to RIA Novosti.
