*Nope, the Alpha Jet is a co-production from Dornier and Dassault.
*It is used purely as a trainer by the French Air Force for jet conversion,
..
*Germany is using its Alpha Jet for ground attack, as do a number of
*african countries.

Jane's states that both the training and ground attack roles were
intended from the outset for the Alpha jet design, and that Germany
replaced its Fiat G91Rs with Alpha jets.
