L-39 Skyfox Aircraft: Slovakia’s Next Military Advantage
**Slovakia is turning its sights towards the L-39 Skyfox, a versatile light attack and training aircraft developed by Aero Vodochody. The interest in this new military asset follows a recent visit by Slovak Defense Minister Robert Kaliňák to the Czech Republic, where he was warmly received by Czech Defense Minister Jana Černochová. The key purpose of this visit was to explore military collaboration and assess the potential integration of the L-39 Skyfox into Slovakia’s air force capabilities.**
During this diplomatic trip, Minister Kaliňák toured several manufacturing facilities in the Czech Republic, where he had the opportunity to see the first two L-39 Skyfox aircraft that had recently arrived from Hungary. The discussions between the Slovak and Czech delegations were productive, culminating in the signing of a bilateral cooperation agreement aimed at enhancing defense and industrial ties between the two nations.
