True, the A-29 is a beautiful aircraft for COIN mission. It can deploy a wide spectrum of ordinances while being cheap to operate.

I am aware of two crashes. 1 of them was flown by American pilots. In addition, AAF have 26 A-29s in service.

A Haftari Mig-29 was downed yesterday in the Sirte area. The pilot was a Russian mercenary, who uploaded a video from the site saying he was shot down. Turkish AWACS and F-16s were north of Sirte when the incident happened. Turkey sending a message?

Really? all official artistic rendering shows the AKINCI without the landing gear.
