Ok we all know the importance of light trainers in schooling pilots. Usualy the training starts with good prop plane like PC9 and then moves to jet trainer and only then do the pilots are alowed to move to train in aircraft they are going to serve on. I personaly have never heard of anybody shawing pilot from PC9 to Mig29 or F16. So what little jet planes are used and are good for initial jet trainer role??
The Yug G4 supergaleb at less than 200 000 USD doesnt look bad option for contries like India who use difficult to fly mig21.
I belive libia took 30 and plans to take 20 more when the arms embargo is removed on yugoslavia in early january.
There is some good info here http://www.yugoimport.co.yu/products/g-4.html
(ITAR TASS reports that security councul will meet on 20December and Rus, Mibistry of forgein affers submited official request for rmoving embarg, China and France have also suported the move while US said it will not use VETO if 3 out of five countries agree. Only Uk will apperantly vote NO)
