Yes, either a Shafrir-2 or a Python-4. Most likely the Shafrir-2
Do the Pampa IIs come with any kind of sensor fit or precision guided ammo?
I also understand the III would be single seat approaching A-4 capabilities. Yet with the nose especially still looks primarily like a trainer with probably no radar.
At least, with continued production, it will support national industry. And perhaps they manage to do, on a lower scale, what the South Koreans did with the T-50 -> TA-50 -> FA-50.

Nicaragua to Host Russian GPS-Equivalent Ground Stations
The Nicaraguan Institute for Telecommunications (Telcor) has signed an agreement with Russia on the construction of Russian Glonass satellite navigation network ground stations in Nicaragua, El Nuevo Diario reports.
MOSCOW (Sputnik) – The stations are expected to become operational by July 2016, the Nicaraguan newspaper said on Thursday. Initially, the work of the Glonass stations will be handled by Russian specialists and will then be gradually passed on to Nicaraguan workers as they finish their training.
The stations will allow to gather satellite information 24 hours a day.
In April, Nicaragua's National Assembly ratified a cooperation agreement with Russia on the exploration and use of outer space for peaceful purposes.
The agreement aimed to enable Russia to deploy stations for its Glonass satellite navigation system in Nicaragua.
The Glonass project, which was launched in 1993, is considered to be Russia's answer to the American GPS (Global Positioning System).
The Glonass network currently consists of 28 satellites, allowing real-time positioning and speed data for surface, sea and airborne objects around the globe.

Delivery of the Mi-171Sh-P is delayed for Army Aviation Brigade of Peru
(Defensa.com) According to unofficial information, Rosoboronexport is ready, since early July approximately 13 other combat and transport helicopters Mi-171Sh Hip H-P for the Army Aviation Brigade. However, deliveries may not materialize because the National Bank has not complied with the outstanding payments, 200 million dollars, arguing that Rostec (Russian Technologies) - and therefore Rosoboronexport - is on the SDN List ( Companies Sanctioned by OFAC - Office of Foreign Assets Control) of the United States. In this regard, Rosoboronexport reported in writing to the MINDEF that is not included in the SDN list and proof of this is that currently has a contract - in full swing - with the United States Department of Defense to supply helicopters Mi- 17-1B to Afghanistan. It was learned that both parties are doomed to solve the impasse as soon as possible, because of continuing delays seriously affect the responsiveness of the Army Aviation Brigade before the announced arrival of "El Niño".
Peru signed in December 2013 a contract with Rosoboronexport to supply 24 Mi-171Sh-P Hip H for about $ 528 million for the Army Aviation Brigade. The Program of Social and Industrial Compensation (Offset), valued at $ 180 million, including, among others, a helicopter maintenance center - will begin to be built in the San Camilo in the vicinity of the PAF Base La Joya (Arequipa) - and a flight simulator as well as the co-production of parts. According to the contract, eight aircraft were sent to Peru in late 2014 - as reported in defensa.com - aboard an Antonov An-124 Ruslan in two batches. The first, on 27 November and the other on 4 December. 3 others arrived in early June 2015. The 13 remaining, and an important batch of spare parts and weapons facilities are Ulan Ude (Russia) waiting to be sent to Peru.
The Mi-171Sh Hip H-P has a length of 18.4 m, a height of 4.7 m. and a rotor diameter of 21.3 m. At the request of the Army of Peru they will be equipped with 2 motors VK-2500-3 2,700 HP (20% more powerful than the TV-3-117BM). The cruising speed is 215 km / h, the range of 580 km and service ceiling of 4,800 m. at full load. The Mi-P will have 171Sh-art avionics and night vision goggles. Its design allows you to carry 36 troops or 4,000 kilos of cargo. The armament supply comprises a large number of PKM machine guns 7.62 x 54R, pods of UPK-23-250 cannon of 23 mm. S-8KOM rockets and 80 mm and illumination flares 26mm.
