    “That does dot mean Czechs are going to buy UH-1Ys, it only means they get the permission to buy them if they choose to do so..”

    Well Czech government consider only two chances right now – UH-1Y or AW139M, headquarters of Czech Army has already recommended UH-1Y few month ago….

    Under the fuselage is housing for cameras, it is integral part of the fuselage and it was typical only for reconnaissance version L-29R. On the picture is version L-29RS, one of four planes donated to Vietnam AF by Czechoslovak Air Force.
    In the case of L-29RS the housing for cameras is empty, and the plane is only singleseater for advanced training. In fact L-29RS was imposed version, and was created when CzAF found out structural problems of some twoseater reconnaissance L-29R. 31 L-29R was converted into L-29RS and those planes lost reconnaissance equipment and all equipment of the second cockpit and wing tip fuel tanks.

    L-39ZO can carry same weapons like L-39ZA except air-to-air guided missiles (R-3/R-13), so UB-16 pod, CP-100s, FAB and OFAB boms 100, 150, 250 and 500, submunition bomb RBK-250, PK-3 pod with three vz.77 7,62mm machineguns, LRM-122 pod for four LR-122mm rockets, theoretically L-39ZO can carry 9A624 gun pod.

    Czech Air Force tender for new multirole helicopter has come to the final phase. Replacement for Mi-24/35 will be UH-1Y (btw with guided missiles and Czech Plamen gun pod, Air Force’s favourite) or armed AW139M (cheaper variant). Decision will be finished by new government after election in this autumn

    “Czech Gripens are ex-SwAF JAS39C/Ds. Hungarian ones are reworked ex-SwAF JAS39A/Bs.
    South African and Thai Gripens were new-built, as far as I know..”

    Nope, Czech Gripens were and are only Czech, and never have been with SwAF service and no hand of SwAF pilot has touched these Gripens. Just Czech Gripens were took out from production plan of gripens for SwAF and were made as planes for Czech AF. So CzAF has got brand new planes, even before HuAF, as the first foreign user…. But in fact Czech Gripens are owned by Swedish state and are leased by Czech government.
