Mogla bi Utva da se malo pozabavi Lastom. Lasta sa malo jačim krilima i malo jačim motorom + naoružanje = Kobac COIN. Bolje da se novac ulaže u takve letelice, koje bi dobro došle i VS. Koliko znam već je postojao prototip Laste sa mogučnošću nadogradnje sa naoružanjem.

Takva Lasta se izvozi u Irak, nase nece biti naoruzane.
Prica se da je planirano da se u buducnosti napravi varijanta sa turboelisnim motorom.
Hawker ima u planu da integrise top sa F-35 na njihov AT-6. Petocevni GAU-12 kalibra 25 mm.
Hawker i Lokid zajedno nastupaju u programu LAAR( light attack and armed reconnaissance ). Sledece godine bi trebalo da padne odluka koji avioni ce se nabaviti za novu flotu USAF-a
Vec smo pricali o Indoneziji. Kupuju definitivno Super Tucano. Prvi stizu 2012.

Revitalizacija vijetnamskih veterana - OV-1 Mohawk se ponovo vraća u službu !?!
Citat: AUSA2010: OV-1D Mohawk revived as modern gunship
By Stephen Trimble on October 28, 2010 12:11 AM
A host of aircraft have been pitched for counter-insurgency. Revive the OV-10? Check. Convert the AirTractor cropduster into the AT-802U? Yep. Remake the T-6A into the AT-6? That too. Here's a new one:
ATK has teamed up with Mohawk Technologies and Broadbay to revive the OV-1D Mohawk for the counter-insurgency market.
The new version adds the ATK 30mm chain gun from the Boeing AH-64 Apache, plus a glass cockpit and integrated targeting system with electro-optical/infrared sensor turret.
Mohawk owns six decommissioned OV-1Ds that are available for conversion, with dozens more of the aircraft available on the used market, says JT Young, of Broadbay, which supplies the crews to operate the OV-1Ds.
The second-generation OV-1D is being pitched as a live-fire training aid for the US military's schools for joint terminal attack controllers, says ATK's Clay Bringhurst. The schools could operate the OV-1Ds on a fee-for-service basis, or buy the aircraft outright. If someone decides to push the armed reconnaissance trainers into a combat zone, so much the better. "Why not?" says Bringhurst.
But the ultimate goal is to sell the aircraft on the foreign market. The US State Department last week approved ATK's license application to market the aircraft to approved foreign customers. The OV-1D team is targeting potential military and government buyers in the Middle East and South America.
