We are now living in the menace of cheap drones and professional ones being used in an illicit purpose by both criminals and terrorists! But despite all that is negative about them, there is so much that is good and invaluable!

Romanian-Yugoslavian Aviation. Part-One.

Orao/IAR-93.

This was a joint venture between the two named countries above to develop a single seat fighter based around the Roll-Royce Viper turbojet engine. Speed was in excess of Mach1.6, with a cruising height of 16,000 metres and a 1 minute36 seconds to 36,000 feet (11,000 Metres).

This was some aircraft used as a ground-attack fighter and not really reported in the west, at the time of a viable fighter jet. It was armed with two 30mm cannons and had five hard points capable of carrying 3000 Kg of mixed weapons loads? 

Entering service with both the Romanian and Yugoslavian air forces in 1974, a second two-seat trainer and reconnaissance version was proposed as the IAR-93-B
