ROME — Austria is to purchase 12 Italian Leonardo M-346FA jets to serve in both a training and defense role, Austria’s defense minister has said.
A contract for the buy is currently being negotiated on a government-to-government basis between Vienna and Rome, the Austrian defense ministry said in a statement, which added that funding was already budgeted for. The two seater M-346FA is a light fighter version of Leonardo’s widely sold M-346 advanced jet trainer. It offers seven external hard points and can integrate air-to-air and air-to-surface munitions and targeting pods linked to helmet-mounted displays.
Last year, Leonardo struck a deal to mount Nexter’s 20mm 20M621 gun pod on the jet.

I don't know about the concept but it is a good looking aircraft.
