Hi guys, my first post here so please be nice :)
I wanted to know if any of you could help me identify these military aircraft:

I believe that some african countries are thinking of buying it but it looks like a unique jet fighter? Could it be a turboprop without the propellors? Hard to tell. Any accurate guesses would be appreciated:

Yes that's quite possible, it could be a small civil plane used for dropping paratroopers, but then it's so small..and why jet engines? :confused:
It's owned by the military aviation wing of a small african country that's all I know..

They're PZL TS-11 Iskra jet trainers, and the covers are probably just to keep the weather and wildlife off them. Nothing exotic sorry...
