The SOKO J-22 Orao is a light attack aircraft jointly developed by the Yugoslavian company SOKO and the Romanian company IAR, and its nickname Orao means eagle.
The first flight was in 1974 and production began in 1978.
This aircraft was originally a subsonic aircraft because the Viper engine it was equipped with did not have an afterburner, but it became a supersonic aircraft in 1983 when the Viper engine with an afterburner was developed.
When viewed from the top, the aircraft's exterior resembles that of the Jaguar and Mitsubishi F-1, and when viewed from the front, it resembles the Alpha Jet and Kawasaki T-4, and its flight capabilities, such as speed and payload, are roughly in between those two.
The aircraft saw service during the Yugoslav Civil War in the 1990s, and after Yugoslavia's separation, in each of its successor states.
Currently, there are said to be around a dozen aircraft in active service with the Serbian Air Force.
