| Source measurement | — | Compared to the Galeb, the Jastreb has a strengthened structure, allowing more weapons to be carried, including three 12.7 mm (0.5 in) Browning AN/M3 machine guns, mounted in the nose of the aircraft. Also, the Jastreb is able to carry up to 800 kg (1,800 lb) on under-wing pylons, two inner pylons having a capacity of 250 kg (550 lb) for bombs, rocket launchers, and additional tanks, while the six outer pylons can carry VRZ-157 127 mm (5.00 in) rockets.[source]Soko J-21 Jastreb · Design and development; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage The first Yugoslav Air Force attack on Croatian troops took place on July 9, 1991 near Ilok, when two J-21 Jastreb attacked the base of the 1st Brigade of the Croatian National Guard . On August 24, 1991, during the Battle of Vukovar a member of the Croatian National Guard shot down one Yugoslav Air Force J-21 and damaged another aircraft with M55 anti-aircraft gun. On 15 November 1991, during the Battle of the Dalmatian Channels , three Yugoslav Air Force J-21 Jastrebs flew low over Brač and Šolta; minutes later, two were reportedly shot down by Croatian M55 anti-aircraft gun and Strela 2M. On 7 August 1995, during Operation Storm near Dvor na Una, members of the Air Defence Battalion of the 2nd Guards Brigade shot down a J-21 Jastreb over Bosanski Novi.[source]Soko J-21 Jastreb · Operational history / Croatia; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage Length: 10.88 m (35 ft 8 in)[source]Soko J-21 Jastreb · Specifications (J-21 Jastreb); only the objects and conditions stated in this passage Wingspan: 10.56 m (34 ft 8 in)[source]Soko J-21 Jastreb · Specifications (J-21 Jastreb); only the objects and conditions stated in this passage Height: 3.64 m (11 ft 11 in)[source]Soko J-21 Jastreb · Specifications (J-21 Jastreb); only the objects and conditions stated in this passage Wing area: 19.43 m 2 (209.1 sq ft)[source]Soko J-21 Jastreb · Specifications (J-21 Jastreb); only the objects and conditions stated in this passage Max takeoff weight: 5,100 kg (11,244 lb)[source]Soko J-21 Jastreb · Specifications (J-21 Jastreb); only the objects and conditions stated in this passage Fuel capacity: 440 kg (970 lb) internal fuel + 435 kg (959 lb) in 2x 275 L (60 imp gal; 73 US gal) jettisonable wing-tip fuel tanks.[source]Soko J-21 Jastreb · Specifications (J-21 Jastreb); only the objects and conditions stated in this passage Powerplant: 1 × BMB (Rolls-Royce/Bristol Siddeley) Viper Mk 531 turbojet engine, 13.32 kN (2,990 lbf) thrust[source]Soko J-21 Jastreb · Specifications (J-21 Jastreb); only the objects and conditions stated in this passage Powerplant: 2 × JATO units solid-fuelled rockets, 4.45 kN (1,000 lbf) thrust each[source]Soko J-21 Jastreb · Specifications (J-21 Jastreb); only the objects and conditions stated in this passage Maximum speed: 820 km/h (510 mph, 440 kn)[source]Soko J-21 Jastreb · Specifications (J-21 Jastreb); only the objects and conditions stated in this passage Cruise speed: 740 km/h (460 mph, 400 kn) at 5,000 m (16,000 ft)[source]Soko J-21 Jastreb · Specifications (J-21 Jastreb); only the objects and conditions stated in this passage Range: 1.520 km (0.944 mi, 0.821 nmi) with tip tanks[source]Soko J-21 Jastreb · Specifications (J-21 Jastreb); only the objects and conditions stated in this passage Service ceiling: 12,000 m (39,000 ft)[source]Soko J-21 Jastreb · Specifications (J-21 Jastreb); only the objects and conditions stated in this passage Rate of climb: 21 m/s (4,100 ft/min)[source]Soko J-21 Jastreb · Specifications (J-21 Jastreb); only the objects and conditions stated in this passage Guns: 3 × 12.7 mm (0.5 in) Browning AN/M3 machine guns[source]Soko J-21 Jastreb · Specifications (J-21 Jastreb); only the objects and conditions stated in this passage Hardpoints: 8 with a capacity of inboard pylons (2 of) 250 kg (550 lb), outboard pylons (6 of) 50 kg (110 lb), with provisions to carry combinations of: Other:[source]Soko J-21 Jastreb · Specifications (J-21 Jastreb); only the objects and conditions stated in this passage 2 × rocket pods each with 12x 55 mm (2.17 in) rockets[source]Soko J-21 Jastreb · Specifications (J-21 Jastreb); only the objects and conditions stated in this passage Rockets: 6 × VRZ-157 127 mm (5.00 in) rockets[source]Soko J-21 Jastreb · Specifications (J-21 Jastreb); only the objects and conditions stated in this passage 2 × 250 kg (550 lb) general-purpose bombs or[source]Soko J-21 Jastreb · Specifications (J-21 Jastreb); only the objects and conditions stated in this passage 2 × 150 kg (330 lb) cluster bombs or[source]Soko J-21 Jastreb · Specifications (J-21 Jastreb); only the objects and conditions stated in this passage 2 × 120 kg (260 lb) cluster fragmentation bombs[source]Soko J-21 Jastreb · Specifications (J-21 Jastreb); only the objects and conditions stated in this passage |
