The BAE Strikemaster, a British jet-powered training and light attack aircraft, is a development of the Jet Provost trainer, featuring a more powerful engine and armament capabilities. Entering service in the late 1960s, it was designed to meet the needs of air forces requiring a robust, yet economical close air support platform. With its rugged construction and straightforward maintenance, the Strikemaster saw action in various conflicts around the globe, serving in the Middle East, Africa, and South America. Its dual role as a trainer and combat aircraft made it a versatile asset in the arsenals of smaller air forces, capable of delivering precision strikes with its array of underwing weapons. The Strikemaster's legacy is marked by its reliability, cost-effectiveness, and the role it played in shaping modern air combat training and light attack operations.
