Romania's IAR-91 project

[lancer21]

Came across this site dedicated to the IAR-93, there is interesting stuff there, but what caught my eye is new clear pictures of the IAR-91 ground attack aircraft that preceded it. Looks like a romanian Su-25. I can't seem to find a way to save and post the pictures but here is the link.

We have threads with IAR-90 and IAR-93, why just not post links to images there and not in IAR-91 thread INCLUDING images before they gone forever as its often happens?

Thanks Apophenia, adding the IAR-91 images.

Since @lancer21 has now posted the IAR 91 images that he was interested in, I have deleted that post.

What happens when an Alpha Jet and a Su-25 are left alone in a remote hangar with an oyster platter, a magnum of champagne and a box of Belgian chocolates.

It seems the engines intended were RD-9B, which is the same as the initial plan/prototypes for T-8, so indeed the similarities are quite striking.
