A batch of combat training aircraft Yak-130 entered service with the Russian Aerospace Forces

The Russian Aerospace Forces received a new batch of Yak-130 combat training aircraft, the new equipment was manufactured at the Irkutsk Aviation Plant. This was reported by the press service of the UAC.

A batch of UBS Yak-130s was handed over to the Russian military. How many aircraft in the batch is not specified, the last delivery of the Yak-130 was at the end of November last year, and also without specifying the number of delivered aircraft. Currently, the aircraft is delivered in a modernized version, the work was carried out by specialists from the Irkutsk Aviation Plant, taking into account the data received from Russian pilots during operation.

The Irkutsk Aircraft Plant fulfills its obligations under the state defense order. Aviation The equipment is produced according to the schedule. The aircraft of the following batches are in production, scheduled for delivery this year

- said the head of the UAC, Yuri Slyusar.

From 2009 to 2018, under various contracts, the Ministry of Defense received 109 Yak-130 aircraft - of which 12 of the first two series were built at the Sokol Nizhny Novgorod Aviation Plant, and another 97 at the Irkutsk Aviation Plant. In 2020, the military department signed a new contract for the supply of another 25 Yak-130 combat training aircraft.

Yak-130 (according to NATO codification: Mitten - "Mitten") is a Russian combat training aircraft developed by the Yakovlev Design Bureau to replace the L-39 training aircraft in the Russian Air Force. In the case of combat operations, the aircraft is able to perform the tasks of a light attack aircraft.

Clear skies and trouble-free long service.

There are no many pilots, especially in our troubled times

/ We do not use them as such.

He's not that easy. Up to 3000 kg combat load. He would have missiles with a television guidance system and you can nightmare the nearest tactical depth while remaining out of reach for air defense. The result would be the most sought-after car. But it is only dreams. It’s better to cut the budget on shock UAVs.

As for the characteristics, it is not clear - 3000 kg of combat load, with what amount of fuel.
100% or reduced?
What is the combat radius too.

He has a very good weight return. Empty is about 4500 kg, the maximum take-off according to various sources is 9000-10000 kg.

X-59MK2 missile - maximum range of the missile, km - 285

The very thing.

And to make a missile carrier out of a turboprop transport or passenger aircraft, with a large combat load and at the same time economical ...

And it’s better to be reasonably silent than to speak stupidly - that’s it!

Shut up. I don't mind.

Apparently due to a limited number, and is used for its intended purpose - educational.

The first UBS Yak-130 of serial configuration and its arsenal of weapons

In 1961 A.S. Yakovlev demonstrated to the Minister of Defense R.Ya. Malinovsky sports jet Yak-32, equipped with pylons for the suspension of weapons. At the same time, the designer reported on the existence of a light attack aircraft project under the designation Yak-32Sh. The attack aircraft was supposed to have an engine with thrust increased to 1100 kg, which made it possible to increase the take-off weight to 2900 kg with an armament mass of 716 kg. At an altitude of 5000 m, it was planned to reach a maximum speed of 685 km / h. https://naukatehnika.com/uchebnyie-rukaviczyi-vstupayut-v-boj.html

The first production training aircraft of the Yak-130 type were received by the Russian Air Force in 2010.

The Italian Alenia Aermacchi M-130 Master and the Chinese Hongdu L-346 / JL-15 are very similar to the Russian Yak-10 trainers. After all, when they were created, developments on the Yak-130 were used.

The development of a promising domestic training vehicle started at the turn of the 80s and 90s.

And at the very beginning, the program ran into financial difficulties. The Italian company Aermacchi became interested in the project and took over the financing.

The prototype aircraft first flew on April 25, 1996.

The configuration of this machine simultaneously took into account the requirements of the Italian and Russian military. Testing of the first prototype continued until 2002. At the same time, it turned out that the requirements of the air forces of the two countries are seriously different, and therefore the further development of the project by joint efforts ceased in 1999.

After the termination of cooperation with the Italian Aermacchi, Russian designers formed the final look of the Yak-130 trainer based on already worked out ideas. It was proposed to equip the glider of a joint Russian-Italian development with Ukrainian engines, and a variety of radio-electronic equipment was to become predominantly domestic.

The production of serial Yak-130s started in 2008 simultaneously at the Sokol (Nizhny Novgorod) and Irkut (Irkutsk) enterprises. The first serial trainer of a new type took off in May 2009.

It is equipped with two AI-222-25 bypass turbojet engines, the production of which has been established since 2015 at the Salyut Gas Turbine Engineering Research and Production Center (Russia), which has mastered the full production of all engine components. Previously, it was produced in cooperation with the Ukrainian enterprises Motor Sich and Ivchenko Progress.

To increase maintainability, composites were completely abandoned, all elements of the airframe are made of light aluminum-magnesium-lithium alloys - unlike the "twin brother" Aermacchi M-346, in which there are composites, which, however, did not affect its weight in any way. The aircraft is capable of taking off from unprepared (including unpaved) airfields.

According to various estimates, the Russian Aerospace Forces need 250 Yak-130 type trainers. As of 2022, there were a little over a hundred serial Yak-130s in the training units of the VKS. Foreign countries purchased twice as many in number - Algeria 16, Bangladesh - 16 (3 lost), Belarus - 12 (1 aircraft lost), Vietnam - 6, Laos - 4 (10 ordered), Myanmar - 12.

According to data from open sources, during the testing and operation of this aircraft in Russia, five such aircraft were lost, one person died.

Yak-130 can take part in hostilities. There are eight hardpoints under the wing and fuselage for air-to-air missiles, unguided rockets and free-falling or guided bombs. It is capable of carrying up to 3 tons of payload in the form of weapons or external fuel tanks.

Hello Alistan!
The most valuable feature of this machine is the ability of the EDSU to imitate the behavior of aircraft of completely different classes, i.e. on it you can train pilots for conditional "maize" and "strategists".
