At that time, Italy did not yet have a turboprop attack aircraft that was designed to be cheaper, save on aviation fuel and have good performance. France also needed it because it had a simple, tough platform that could search for targets on the ground and could coordinate with ground troops for close air support operations, including being used as a long-term reconnaissance platform.
