Vietnam will purchase a batch of combat training aircraft Yak-130 in Russia

21

Last year, Russia and Vietnam signed a contract to purchase a squadron of combat training aircraft Yak-130. The scope of supply will be at least 12 aircraft worth more than $ 350 million.

This is reported by the publication "Vedomosti"referring to two managers working in the defense industry.



The Yak-130 batch will replace obsolete L-39 aircraft manufactured by Czechoslovakia, which Vietnam has been using since the 80s of the last century.

Presumably, the new aircraft will receive the 915th Training Aviation Regiment, which was formed the year before last on one of the aviation bases. The military unit also includes a training helicopter squadron equipped with Russian Mi-8 helicopters.

The Federal Service for Military-Technical Cooperation of the Russian Federation and Rosoboronexport declined to comment on the details of the contract.

Andrei Frolov, acting editor-in-chief of the Arms Export magazine, believes that the purchase of Yak-130 aircraft opens up the possibility for Vietnam to supply modern Russian Su-35 or Su-30SM fighters to this country. At least Belarus and Myanmar immediately after the acquisition of the batch of Yak-130 entered into contracts with Russia for the supply of Su-30SM.

Earlier, the manufacturer finalized the Yak-130 UBS, based on data received from Russian pilots during the operation of these combat training aircraft.

Recall that recently the western edition of Military Watch put the Yak-130 in "last place" in the UBS list. This rating can hardly be called unbiased.

        Nevertheless, China took the second place in the world in arms sales, second only to the United States and bypassing Russia. Four Chinese corporations can enter the top 20 companies in the arms market.

          Here's how. If you want to buy the best, buy from Russia, if you want to buy the cheapest, buy from China. And if there is no freedom of choice, then the "masters of the world" will be obliged to buy an exorbitant American one. It's simple.

        Yes, there are not many options. The Chinese - cheap, but somehow not Feng Shui. In Europe or the USA - Feng Shui, but expensive. It remains - Russia

      Well, so the Vietes had no particular choice:
      eLki all - or rather, you could take it like Iraq 159, but they are at the price of fighters.
      K8 - China, that is, the main enemy.
      in the USA - now a little cooling off and they could only be taken by the killed T-38s as a gift (it is possible that they will be taken by the way, but later).

      Real suppliers for Vietnam 3:
      - M346 - but it is significantly more expensive (the minimum package would be pulled by 500+).
      - The T-50 would have come out a little more expensive (280-300 million for 12 bare aircraft + dopa). However, again, there must obtain the consent of the United States.
      - Yaki.

      Well, maybe they decide to buy a Su-30 from Irkut. Then they have very dull, primitive 30M boards from the fixprice. Without over-maneuverability, with a modernized a bit of radar sword from the 80s, well, etc.

        Colleague, you are not entirely right! (Even most likely - "Levs", but not to be confused with Leos!)
        At the request of the customer (depending on the wallet), we can supply any wunderwaffe, even imported (and even despite the Yankee prohibitions), or ours ... but in "imported" performance.
        And this is done simply: what is missing to equip the board is purchased by the customer, and we "just" install this equipment.
        So, you can put dviguns with OVT, and attach AFARs, and BVB-DVB missiles at the request of the customer to customize ... Just know pay!
        AHA.

          No. Historically 2 different sides with their production sites:
          Komsomolsk made cheap Su-30M (M2 / K / MK / MK2 / MKV / MKK, etc.). They had an old Sword (the basic Su-27 radar) with modernization and a ground channel, old engines and generally grew out of the Su-27UB. It is these aircraft that Indonesia bought for example, Vietnam, Venezuela, Uganda and other countries where there is little money.

          Irkutsk was chosen as the site for the Hindu mega-contract - from there came MKI, MKA, MKM, SM. This is already a much more advanced board, made according to a separate program (initially for India) with a lot of additions and changes at various stages. Such aircraft bought Malaysia, Algeria, India.

          The Komsomol board cannot be brought to a standard above M2 / MK2. This is not required. The line for the production of this aircraft was closed after the last support contracts for the aerospace forces were closed - where they went to the niche of the Su-27UB, several cars for parts on new aircraft (Su-35, Su-27SM3). Now you can buy only the Irkutsk board, which is much more expensive in the airbase itself.
