Czech close air Support
Czech airframer Aero Vodochody
and Israel Aerospace Industries
had announced that they
would be submitting a version of
Aero’s L-159 light combat aircraft
for the US Air Force’s OA-X close
air support competition.
The bid was something of a late entrant,
but the companies assert that the
L-159 represents a cost-effective
and low-risk option. As the EU tends to
power away after the Brexit break by the
British , it is expected that the L-159
could be a deal winned for the Czech Aero
Vodochody that produces high quality
military hardware. IAI’s agressive
joint venture position with EU companies
is giving the situation a positive spin.
