The Bulgarian site for LASA owner and Airborne Technologies owner/partner Zachary Alexandrov Botchev has reverted to "under construction". The converted Ayres Thrush were prominently featured in Prince's $3.5B Afghan and African mercenary pitches. lasaeng.eu
The LASA T-Bird is/was an attempt to compete with the AT-802U, the L-3 Technologies "Longsword" and the IOMAX "Archangel" A popular US export along with the militarized Cessna Caravan, Little Bird and the Northstar Bell 407 mini gunships now used in Yemen. nstarusa.com/407-mrh-lightn…
Congress voted against US support of the KSA/UAE war in Yemen, but we sell and continue to sell weapons like the IOMAX to the UAE, KSA and many other small nations. Sold to UAE who then "loans" or "donates" or uses them in Jordan, Libya, Egypt, Eritrea, Yemen and other hotspots.
There is legitimate concern that the sale/donations of weapons, tech transfer and training to Arab dictatorships can create blowback, even in civilian form. But wait...Saudis, Yemenis and Emiratis would never use aircraft against America would they? thedailybeast.com/saudi-arabia-g…
