1523rd Research Squadron

      HQ: Bamako, Mali

      The 1523rd has no constant inventory of aircraft, apart from the two Spretu-P demonstrators. Various new prototypes and research aircraft are tested by this squadron. Presently it is working with the XGE-2 and Biantayla (Windwing) prototype heavylift helicopters (competition to determine which prototype will be put in production to replace the aging Erakles heavy transport helicopters), the Biaspa (Wasp) prototype point-defence jet fighter and the Sterszlyen (Hornet) prototype jet fighter-bomber. Of the latter two, early reports suggest the 1523rd will recommend for adoption of the Biaspa (but with a few minor modifications, including a slightly increased fuel capacity to allow for longer dogfight time), but against adoption of the Sterszlyen, as it is underpowered, underarmed and too lightly armoured to successfully operate as a low-level fighter-bomber. Recently, the first flying prototype of the Vukilak (Werewolf) jet strike fighter has arrived to the 1523rd, and initial impressions seem favourable.
