During 1970, Romania and Yugoslavia began discussions on the subject of jointly developing a new ground-attack orientated fighter aircraft. These plans came to fruition and into service as the Craiova IAR-93 Vultur in Romania and the Soko J-22 Orao in Yugoslavia. Therefore although this particulat example is the Romanian version (it was accepted into the Fortele Aeriene Romane in December 1986) it is a fitting exhhibit at this super museum.
