Serbia reveals light-attack Kobac




Serbia has revealed a mock-up of a Kobac ("Sparrowhawk") light attack/counter-insurgency version of its Utva Lasta primary trainer.

Shown for the first time in public during an air show to mark 100 years of the Serbian air force on 2 September, the concept has been developed by Utva, the Serbian Military Technical Insitute and national arms trading company Yugoimport.

The main changes from the Lasta include the introduction of a turboprop engine and wingtip fuel tanks, which will enable a projected increase in maximum take-off weight to 1,650kg (3,640lb) and a top speed of 270kt (500km/h) in level flight and 298kt in a dive.
