Now Prague is talking about twelve more. On Wednesday 11 November, Czech Industry and Trade Minister Karel Havl&iacute;\u010dek told reporters in Kyiv that the Czech Republic could supply Ukraine with up to 16 Aero L-39 Skyfox jets, the new-generation successor to the Cold War <a href=\"https:\/\/migflug.com\/aircraft\/l-39-albatros\/\">L-39 Albatros<\/a> trainer.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>According to the Czech news agency \u010cTK, Havl&iacute;\u010dek said four Skyfoxes had been confirmed in the past, and that he had now discussed the delivery of a further 12 with Ukrainian Prime Minister Serhiy Koretskyi. He said he came away from the meeting with a very good feeling. No contract for the additional aircraft has been announced.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The jets would not be simple trainers. The talk in Prague and Kyiv is about drones: a cheap, fast, crewed hunter for the Shahed-type attack drones Russia launches at Ukraine almost every night.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<div style=\"background:#f4f6f9;border:1px solid #e2e7ee;padding:18px 22px;margin:22px 0 26px\"><p style=\"margin:0 0 8px;font-weight:700;color:#0d1117\">Quick Facts<\/p><ul style=\"margin:0;padding-left:18px\"><li style=\"margin:4px 0\"><strong>What:<\/strong> Czechia could supply Ukraine with up to 16 Aero L-39 Skyfox jets<\/li><li style=\"margin:4px 0\"><strong>Who said it:<\/strong> Czech Deputy PM and Industry and Trade Minister Karel Havl&iacute;\u010dek, in Kyiv<\/li><li style=\"margin:4px 0\"><strong>When:<\/strong> Wednesday 11 November 2026<\/li><li style=\"margin:4px 0\"><strong>Breakdown:<\/strong> Four confirmed earlier; 12 more discussed with Ukrainian PM Serhiy Koretskyi (no contract announced)<\/li><li style=\"margin:4px 0\"><strong>Manufacturer:<\/strong> Aero Vodochody, which confirmed Ukrainian interest on 12 November<\/li><li style=\"margin:4px 0\"><strong>Likely role:<\/strong> Counter-drone; the Drone Hunter version is still in development<\/li><li style=\"margin:4px 0\"><strong>Engine:<\/strong> One Williams FJ44-4M turbofan<\/li><li style=\"margin:4px 0\"><strong>Production:<\/strong> About 12 a year, up to 18 possible; booked into Q2 2027<\/li><\/ul><\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 style=\"padding-top:22px\">What Havl&iacute;\u010dek said in Kyiv<\/h2>\r\n\r\n<p>Havl&iacute;\u010dek, who is also a deputy prime minister in Andrej Babi&scaron;&rsquo;s government, was in Ukraine on a two-day business mission with around 50 Czech companies. \u010cTK reported that Prime Minister Koretskyi brought his energy minister Denys Shmyhal and transport minister Mykola Kalashnyk into the talks.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<div style=\"max-width:550px;margin:0 auto 28px\"><iframe class=\"skip-lazy\" data-no-lazy=\"1\" loading=\"eager\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/embed\/Tweet.html?id=2120604968260444635&theme=light\" style=\"width:100%;height:560px;border:none;overflow:hidden\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The next day, Thursday 12 November, the manufacturer weighed in. Aero Vodochody spokesman Luk&aacute;&scaron; Hora confirmed to \u010cTK that Ukraine is interested in the Skyfox and could use both the trainer and the combat configuration. The company praised the Czech government&rsquo;s role in the talks, but said that, given the security situation, it would give no details on production status, schedules or delivery dates.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 style=\"padding-top:22px\">Why not the L-159?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n<p>Kyiv&rsquo;s first wish was a different Czech jet. Ukraine had asked for <a href=\"https:\/\/migflug.com\/aircraft\/aero-l-159\/\">L-159 ALCA<\/a> light combat aircraft from the Czech Air Force inventory, again to fight drones. The Babi&scaron; government refused, arguing that the Czech military needs them, and Chief of the General Staff Miroslav Hlav&aacute;\u010d told \u010cTK in October that the matter was closed. In the same breath, he pointed to possible Skyfox deliveries instead.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\" style=\"margin:0 0 24px;width:100%\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"skip-lazy\" data-no-lazy=\"1\" loading=\"eager\" width=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/migflug.com\/afterburner\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/11\/aero-vodochody-l-39-skyfox-official-2024.jpg\" alt=\"Aero L-39 Skyfox 0476 in Czech markings with a tiger tail flying over clouds and mountains\" style=\"width:100%;height:auto;max-width:100%;display:block\"><figcaption style=\"font-size:13px;color:#777;text-align:center;margin-top:6px;font-style:italic\">An L-39 Skyfox in Czech markings. The new-build jet keeps the classic L-39 shape but drops the wingtip tanks and uses a Williams FJ44-4M turbofan.

It first flew as the L-39NG prototype in December 2018 and received its Skyfox name in October 2024. A Williams FJ44-4M turbofan replaces the Soviet-era Ivchenko engine, the airframe is new and lighter, and the old wingtip tanks are gone. The first production jets went to the Czech military flight training centre at Pardubice.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 style=\"padding-top:22px\">A drone hunter on a trainer&rsquo;s budget<\/h2>\r\n\r\n<p>The version most likely meant for Ukraine is the Drone Hunter, which Aero is still developing. It pairs an electro-optical targeting system with launchers for 70 mm laser-guided rockets, with Thales working on the rocket integration. \u010cTK stresses that the Drone Hunter has not yet been used operationally and that further testing has to prove what it can do.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The economics explain the interest. TWZ reports that Aero Vodochody puts the Skyfox&rsquo;s operating costs at roughly $1,700 to $2,300 per flight hour, against around $22,000 for an <a href=\"https:\/\/migflug.com\/aircraft\/f-16-fighting-falcon\/\">F-16<\/a>-class fighter. Ukraine&rsquo;s F-16s and <a href=\"https:\/\/migflug.com\/aircraft\/mig-29-fulcrum\/\">MiG-29s<\/a> are badly needed for harder missions than chasing propeller-driven drones. Justin Bronk, an airpower specialist at the London think tank RUSI, told TWZ that the Skyfox fits the job unusually well.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<div style=\"background:#f8f9fa;border-left:4px solid #1565c0;padding:20px 22px;margin:18px 0 24px;font-size:16px;line-height:1.7\"><div><em>&ldquo;[The L-39NG] offers an unusually attractive combination of attributes as a dedicated counter-drone interceptor; being fast enough to easily intercept Geran-3 and Geran-4 jet-powered drones, very cheap and simple to operate compared to frontline fighters and even other advanced trainer jets, already having targeting pod, gunpod and rocket pod options integrated, and being available quickly due to a small existing order book.&rdquo;<\/em><div style=\"margin-top:10px;font-size:14px;color:#555\"><strong>Justin Bronk<\/strong> &mdash; Senior Research Fellow for Airpower and Military Technology, RUSI, speaking to TWZ (November 2026)<\/div><\/div><\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Bronk also flagged the jet&rsquo;s main weakness: it has no radar. He argued that this matters less in Ukraine, where a dense network of radar-equipped ground stations can steer interceptors to the rough position of a target. The <a href=\"https:\/\/migflug.com\/air-forces\/ukrainian-air-force\/\">Ukrainian Air Force<\/a> also already has pilots and mechanics who know the older L-39, and its Albatroses have flown in this war.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<div style=\"position:relative;padding-bottom:56.25%;height:0;overflow:hidden;margin:24px 0 8px\"><iframe class=\"skip-lazy\" data-no-lazy=\"1\" loading=\"eager\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/uRsXUvpSgek\" style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;border:0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"font-size:13px;color:#777;text-align:center;font-style:italic;margin:0 0 24px\">Aero Vodochody&rsquo;s own film of the L-39NG, the jet now sold as the Skyfox.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 style=\"padding-top:22px\">The production queue<\/h2>\r\n\r\n<p>Speed is the open question. According to \u010cTK, Aero currently builds about 12 Skyfoxes a year and says it could raise that to 18. It has sold more than 40, and as of September its production was booked until the second quarter of 2027. The Skyfox already flies with the Czech Republic, Hungary and Vietnam, and Angola and Armenia have ordered it.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\" style=\"margin:0 0 24px;width:100%\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"skip-lazy\" data-no-lazy=\"1\" loading=\"eager\" width=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/migflug.com\/afterburner\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/11\/l-39ng-skyfox-flying-low-2021.jpg\" alt=\"Aero L-39NG prototype 0475 in grey geometric camouflage flying low past a forest\" style=\"width:100%;height:auto;max-width:100%;display:block\"><figcaption style=\"font-size:13px;color:#777;text-align:center;margin-top:6px;font-style:italic\">The L-39NG prototype 0475 in a low pass in 2021, before the type was named Skyfox.
