Hmmmmm, i have the feeling that Aero Vodochody is a bit optimistic here, the ALCA would be a straight contender with FADEA´s own IA-63 Pampa batch III, and even that the Argentine MOD “iced it”.
As I pointed out before the L-159 ALCA is in a different performance class to the Pampa, also the L-159 ALCA is a real thing in production (relaunched) unlike the IA-63 Pampa Batch III which has been repeatedly launched (repainting and wheeling out the 20 year old prototype) yet we haven’t seen much along the lines of actual production.

No more likely an A-4AR replacement.

Why would the Fuerza Aerea Argentina acquire the L-159 when they have their own IA-63 Pampa II?
Replacement for the Pampa?

Metal fan duct = F404

F404-102 right? F/A-18 uses F404-400.

It will be a license produced GE F404

just a quick question to the experts here regarding the iraqi T-50IQ
today a picture of its engine was seen for the first time. Can anyone confirm if its an F404 or F414 ?

Aero is finishing brand new L-159 (twoseater) for Iraqi Air Force right now to delivery the plane during few weeks. After 13 years L-159 production line is reopened and Aero is planning serial production of new planes. Now Aero negotiates with Honeywell about new engines supply and there are some negotiations with new potential customers (still not specified).
