Iraq requests $4.5+ in Military Equipment from US

Looks much better then the L159 indeed:

Looks like a mini F16

The Alca is nothing compared with the Golden Eagle, not just for training uses but light attacks as well. Remember, there is a huge difference in prices though..

Check this out! It seems Iraq eyed at it a few years ago, as well as the UAE.

Iraq was negotiating the acquisition of T-50 trainer jets, having first publicly expressed official interest during the Korea-Iraq summit in Seoul on 24 February 2009.[88] In April 2010, Iraq has reopened the jet lead-in fighter-trainer competition for 24 aircraft, in which TA-50 will compete.[89]

The United Arab Emirates is seeking 35–40 fighter-trainers. In February 2009, UAE selected the M-346 over the T-50.[93] But in January 2010, UAE reopened the trainer contest.[94] In 2011, it was confirmed that T-50 is still competing in UAE.[95]

I like its multirole fighter variant " FA 50 " though ...
 
Since L159 failed after even making a deal I think they just dropped the east european states now, even the BTR4 deal with Ukraine brought problems.
