The IAR-93B is a Romanian attack aircraft and is the main reward in the Flight of the Vulture aircraft event that started today!
IAR-93B Vultur: An Event Vehicle Attack Aircraft for Italy at Rank VI
At a glance:
- Ballistic computer for bombs and rockets!
- Radar Warning Receiver (RWR).
- Close combat air-to-air missiles.
- Easy to control.
- No countermeasures.
The IAR-93 was a joint development between Yugoslavia and Romania in the late 1970s. The goal of the project was to create a multi-role subsonic fighter-bomber that neither country could build on their own. Each country built its own prototypes which differed in the composition of their armament. The first flight of the IAR-93 prototype took place in 1974. Serial production of the IAR-93 began in 1976 at the Avioane Craiova plant in Romania. Further work resulted in the IAR-93B modification with an afterburner engine. A total of 83 aircraft were produced and were repeatedly modernized.
Introducing the IAR-93B!
Meet the distinctive Romanian IAR-93B Vultur (Romanian for “vulture”) attack aircraft that’s the main reward in the Flight of the Vulture event! This subsonic aircraft features a good payload for ground battles and can also hold up decently in air battles. Let’s have a closer look!
Interesting: The IAR-93B strike aircraft model was created by player NovA29, with the help of Romanian gaming community representatives TeodorSan and TheFlyingNoob. Player Reg25RUS took part in creating the cockpit model. What a great job!
Diving into its weapons first, the IAR-93B features two double-barreled 23 mm GSh-23L Soviet-made guns with a decent ammunition load of 400 rounds and some belts to pick from. Since the IAR-93B is primarily meant for ground attack, it can equip domestic 100 to 500 kg bombs, fire S-5K and S-24B rockets, plus the PRN-122 which are new to the game. To top it off, the IAR-93B features a ballistic computer, excellent for helping you aim the bombs and rockets!
Like most attack aircraft, the IAR-93B is not very well suited for air combat, but is not entirely out of place in this regard. This is because it features an RWR and short-range A-91 air-to-air missiles — a licensed Soviet R-3S, rear-aspect missile with a lock-on range up to 3.5 km. Despite these air-capable features, the IAR-93B has no countermeasures, so you’ll have to dodge enemy missiles the old fashioned way.
Moving onto flight performance, the IAR-93’s speed is slightly less than the speed of sound, but its flight characteristics are excellent, even with a large amount of weapons thanks to a pair of Rolls-Royce Viper engines and its advanced wing mechanization. This is especially important in the IAR-93B’s main role as a low-altitude attack aircraft.
That’s it for this one! The Romanian IAR-93B event vehicle can be obtained during the Flight of the Vulture event that started today. Check out the link below to know more details!
Please note that this vehicle’s characteristics may be changed before it is added to the game.

Comments will be premoderatedAny plans to lower it´s br to 8.3-8.7 where it belongs or change it´s engine to the Viper 633-47 that it should have, or give it any useful armament at all? Like the 8 AA missiles, or R-60´s or A921/kh23?
It never had 8 AA missiles, R-60s or A921/Kh-23 For the engines yea, it should have the 633-47. Now I don't know exactly if just the name is wrong, or the engines specs are also wrong.
Interesting plane but no countermeasures and AIM-9B level missiles will sadly make this almost useless in ARB
Having no CMs and only AIM-9Bs is pretty much the default at 9.0
RP piñata at 9.7 sadly
Its 9.0 in ARB and 9.3 in GRB
I've been waiting for this plane for 6 years and i am so happy to see it in the game. Thank you so much Nova!
It is very nice indeed. Glad that you like it.
Bruh
So no R60s or the TV guided Kh-23?
The IAR-93 didnt have R-60s or Kh-23 only its yugo counterpart which had a different avionics and weapon package. There was a life extension program which was started to be looked at in 1996 to possibly intergrate such equipment but instead it got retired
Fix the FM, right now it's an amalgamation between the A and B model... a complete mess.

An interesting addition to the collection
Will be grinding for the collection and ofc the closest thing in gonna get for a while to the J-22 Orao. However the J-22 had a much better weapons and avionics package
where are R-60, KH-23 or AGM-65? IAR-93B was able to carry them.
That was the J-22.
The IAR-93B never mounted AGM-65's. The Mavericks were exclusive to the Yugoslavian/Serbian J-22. Not only that, Romania was not in the US Foreign Military Sales up to the point that the IAR-93's were retired. The first AGM-65's in Romanian service came with the F-16.
