IAR 99 is much better than L-39.It is inferior to L-159 ,British Hawk or MB 339,MIT-AT or whaterver...IAR 109 is maching the planes mentioned above(but IAR 109 was produced only in 1 piece).

Sry mate this aircraft is no where close to being a good attack or close support let alone the best this is incomparable to the Czech L-39 & L-159 or Italian M.B.339 or the British Hawks.... they are just much better than this aircraft and proven this aircraft is very similar to the Yugoslav G-4 but its still very inferior to the Yugoslav variant.

I think that this aircraft is underestimated...it is currently used only in training...but in could also be verry successful asa an attacker...because it is very lith and can make manuvers like no other aircraft...i saw it with my eyes...i this could be a good attacker, if not the best.
