What’s the future of L-159 ? Is there going to be strong commitment from Checzh for continue productions for L-159 including maintanance support facilities ? Seems L-159 that’s being offered now is comming from Checzh Storage Inventories, I know that’s what Checzh offered to Indonesia before.

Based from Indonesian Air Forces sources on the evaluations of 3 contenders of Indonesian LIFT contest (sorry no-online link); L-159 scores high on Economical, Yak-130 scores high on the adaptability, whille T-50 scores high in technological (the contest then won by T-50 more to the basis of long term potential cooperation with ROK in Defense). What makes L-159 droped was the ‘doubt’ on the Indonesian Air Force technical team with the long term future of the aircraft (especially since Checzh herself didn’t show their own willingness to get more aircraft in productions for their own uses), whille the traditional Eastern Block trainers that Aerovodochy have with L-29 and L-39 already gone with the comming of Yak-130.

what is “Checzh” and “Aerovodochy”???
