Slovakia's defense minister has been in talks in the Czech Republic about the purchase of approximately twelve L-39 Skyfox trainer jets, according to the Czech news portal Blesk. The aircraft are manufactured by Aero Vodochody, a company that is majority-owned by Hungarian interests. Furthermore, in March 2022, Hungary ordered a total of twelve new L-39NG trainer aircraft for its air force, and Hungarian pilots began training on them in January of this year.
