Den Avioane Craiova IAR-93 Vultur (Vulture) is a twinjet, subsonic, close support, ground attack and tactical reconnaissance aircraft with secondary capability as low level interceptor. Built as single-seat main attack version or combat capable two-seat version for advanced flying and weapon training, it was developed as a joint Yugoslav-Romanian project in the 1970s for the air forces of both nations. The Romanian aircraft were built by I.R.Av. Craiova as IAR-93, and its Yugoslav counterpart by Soko as the Soko J-22 Orao. For Romania, the IAR-93 was intended to replace MiG-15s and MiG-17s in the fighter-bomber role.

The IAR-93 Vultur is a Romanian aircraft that was developed in collaboration with Yugoslavia as part of the YuRom project. It is a twin-engine, subsonic, ground attack and reconnaissance aircraft that can also perform low level interception missions. The IAR-93 Vultur first flew in 1974 and entered service in 1975 with the Romanian Air Force. It was built in two versions: a single-seat main attack version and a two-seat version for advanced flying and weapon training. The IAR-93 Vultur is powered by two Rolls-Royce Viper turbojet engines, which were later upgraded with afterburners to improve performance.
The IAR-93 Vultur has a conventional swept-wing design with high-mounted wings and twin vertical stabilizers. It can carry a variety of weapons, including bombs, rockets, missiles and gun pods, on seven hardpoints under the wings and fuselage. The IAR-93 Vultur has a maximum speed of Mach 0.82 and a combat range of 1,100 km. The IAR-93 Vultur was used by Romania until 1998, when it was retired from service. The Yugoslav counterpart of the IAR-93 Vultur is the Soko J-22 Orao, which is still in use by Serbia.
