The L-159 ALCA is a single-seat light multirole combat aircraft designed to perform a range of air-to-air, air-to-ground and reconnaissance missions.
The aircraft is equipped with advanced multimode radar and a range of Nato-standard payloads that include air-to-air and air-to-ground missiles and laser guided bombs.
About 36 L-159 ALCAs were planned to be sold by the Czech Defence Ministry in January, according to RIA Novosti.
