For me this is an Orao, but the Yugoslav and Romanian brother peoples could not even find a common name for their joint attack aircraft. Nationalism ran so high that first flights had to take place on the same day at Batajnica and Bacău on 31 October 1974. The Yugoslav civil war did terminate Romanian production in 1992 and the type was retired from Romanian service in 1998.
