The aircraft is flexible, reliable, cost-effective and capable of performing a variety of functions, meeting the demands of the international defense market.

The aircraft can reach a maximum airspeed of 1,000 kilometers per hour, and with seven hardpoints, its maximum load capacity is 3,000 kilograms.
