Talk:Zlin Z-143
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
````becomes world's first guerrilla outfit with its own planes and airfield. --> its not true. AUREV/Permesta is the first guerilla outfit with its own air force.
[edit] Morovan
This article seems to be about the same topic as Morovan Otrokovice Z 143. Neither of them are very good. I would merge them under Zlin Z-143, because that is the name used most frequently in the press. -Ashley Pomeroy 15:58, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
Edited the page to remove comment that Sri Lankan Air Force lacked interceptors (it has several Mig 21 derivatives and a number of supersonic strike fighters that would be effective day interceptors) and its ground attack fighters would be unable to engage a light aircraft. There are numerous examples of super sonic jet fighters successfully engaging piston power aircraft and helicopters using AAMs and cannons. Replaced comment with statement that the Sir Lankan Air Force has to date failed to intercept any of the Air Tigers aircraft not least because its reaction time was insufficient to get interceptors into the air before said aircraft had departed.
