Origins
The origins of the PA-25 program find their roots in the preceding PA-10 fighter aircraft program which was developed in the late 1970's. Initially meant to be an aircraft to accompany the PA-10, the program was put on hold due to the program being too advanced for its time, and the lack of interest from the then-operational Prizyetsi Air Force.
In the mid 1990's, it was becoming obvious that a replacement for the PA-10 was needed. Several design bureaus were contacted and a competition was announced to design and produce a new high-tech and light weight multi-role fighter to outfit the Prizyetsi Navy's air arms.
