J-22 Orao: The Cold War Eagle – Yugoslavia and Romania’s Strike Fighter Legacy

In this video, we explore the SOKO J-22 Orao, a Cold War-era ground-attack and reconnaissance aircraft developed through a unique collaboration between Yugoslavia's SOKO and Romania's Avioane Craiova. Known as the IAR-93 Vultur in Romania, the J-22 Orao ("Eagle") symbolizes the drive for self-sufficiency in defense production by both nations. First introduced in 1978, this twin-engine, subsonic aircraft played a vital role in Yugoslavia's military until its dissolution in 1992. Designed for versatility, the Orao could handle a wide range of combat roles, from ground attack to close air support and reconnaissance. Join us as we dive into its history, combat use during the Yugoslav Wars, and its ongoing legacy in modern air forces.
