The BAC 167 Strikemaster is a British jet-powered light attack and counter-insurgency aircraft developed from the Jet Provost trainer in the 1960s.

Designed for both training and combat, the Strikemaster featured strengthened airframes, wing hardpoints for ordnance, and upgraded avionics, making it well-suited for ground-attack roles.

The Royal Air Force (RAF) primarily used the type for export evaluation and training, while international operators employed it in front-line roles.

The Royal New Zealand Air Force (RNZAF) operated the Strikemaster for close air support and pilot training, often in demanding low-level environments.

The Royal Saudi Air Force (RSAF) used the aircraft extensively in counter-insurgency operations, valuing its ruggedness and versatility.

Compact, cost-effective, and combat-capable, the Strikemaster proved to be a dependable platform for smaller air forces throughout the Cold War era.
