Articol de dupa-amiaza: Light Attack/Armed Reconnaissance

In ultimi ani necesitatea unor aparate specializate in operatiuni LAAR, CO-IN, precum si antrenamentul avansat al pilotilor de supersonic a devenit tot mai mare. La baza acestei situatii sta in primul rand costul mare de intretinere si exploatare al aparatelor supersonice, cat si necesitatea ca un astfel de aparat sa aiba capabilitati STOL, sa fie usor de intretinut, sa aiba capacitatea de a survola o anumita zona timp indelungat si o viteza de croaziera mica. Toate aceste cerinte fac improprie folosirea unor aparate supersonice sau transonice cu reactie, aparatele echipate cu motoare turbo probulsoare impunandu-se in acest segment. Multe din aceste aparate permit si antrenamentul avansat al pilotilor pentru trecerea pe aparate cu reactie.

Iata o trecere in revista a celor mai utilizate aparate.
