The Indians may use it as a trainer, but that’s not its original design purpose.

Oh yea, I remember this one now. It was proposed as a replacement for the A10, but could only carry a small portion of the load, less munitions and fuel, had less loiter time, and was missing the cannon. It also has two pilots instead of one, and was not nearly as well armored.

It’s only plus point was that it’s decently cheaper.
