The Soko G-4 Super Galeb is a single engine, advanced jet trainer/light strike aircraft. First flown on 17 July 1978, with serial production beginning in 1982, the G-4 was designed to replace the G-2 Galeb and Lockheed T-33 in the Yugoslav Air Force. In the early 1990s the G-4 was also a contender in the Joint Primary Aircraft Training System program in the U.S, being highly praised by the evaluation pilots that flew it, losing to the Raytheon/Pilatus entry, which became the T-6 Texan II. There was also a projected single seat version, called the "G-5", which would have had greater attack capability including a radar, but was dropped due to the disintegration of Yugoslavia.

The G-4 saw some combat during the Yugoslav wars. In total three G-4s were shot down, all pilots safely ejected. A notable incident is that of aircraft No.23733 flown by Second Lieutenant Brаnislаv Ivаnоvski, damaged over Lički Ribnik by a FIM-92 Stinger surface-to-air missile fired by Croatian forces. He landed safely at Udbina. The aircraft's tail is now preserved at the Museum of Aviation in Belgrade, while the aircraft was repaired and returned to serivce, a testament to the aircraft's resilience to missile strikes
