General Characteristics (J-22B Orao 2 Variant)

The Soko J-22 Orao (“Eagle”) is a twin-engine, high-wing, subsonic ground-attack and tactical reconnaissance aircraft developed as a joint Yugoslav-Romanian project (known in Romania as the IAR-93 Vultur). Designed for close air support and attack missions, it was built to be robust, simple, and capable of operating from austere airfields, including unprepared and damaged runways.

Design and Powerplant

  • Engines: Two Rolls-Royce Viper Mk 633-47 turbojet engines (Orao/Turbomecanica license-built).
  • Thrust Output (per engine): 17.79 kN (4,000 lbf) dry; 22.24 kN (5,000 lbf) with afterburner (on J-22B variant).
  • Design Note: The original requirement called for a single-engine supersonic aircraft, but due to engine license restrictions, the simpler, subsonic twin-Viper configuration was adopted. The J-22 can exceed the speed of sound only in a shallow dive.
  • Cockpit: Equipped with a Martin-Baker zero-zero ejection seat and features a Thomson-CSF VE-120T Head-Up Display (HUD) in later versions.
  • Maintenance Feature: The rear fuselage section is designed to be detachable to facilitate easy engine maintenance.
  • Avionics: Later modernization efforts (Orao 2.0) included new mission computers, multi-function displays, and integrated navigation/targeting systems.

Performance and Armament

  • Maximum Speed: 1,130 km/h (700 mph, 610 kn) at sea level (Mach 0.96 at high altitude).
  • Service Ceiling: 15,000 m (49,000 ft).
  • Combat Radius: Approximately 522 km (282 nautical miles) (hi-lo-hi profile).
  • Ferry Range: Approximately 1,320 km (710 nautical miles) with external drop tanks.
  • Fixed Armament: Two 23 mm GSh-23L twin-barrel cannons mounted in the lower front fuselage.
  • Hardpoints: Five external hardpoints (four underwing and one centerline).
  • Maximum External Load: 2,800 kg (6,200 lb).
  • Typical Armament Options:
    • Missiles: AGM-65B Maverick TV-guided Air-to-Ground Missiles (AGM) or Grom-1 radio-guided AGMs.
    • Bombs: Various 50–500 kg general-purpose bombs, cluster bombs (BL755), and anti-runway bombs (Matra Durandal).
    • Rockets: Multiple types of unguided rocket pods.
    • Air-to-Air: Limited air defense capability using short-range IR-homing air-to-air missiles on later variants.
