It should be noted that the military department under the new minister not only finances defense contracts within a fixed time frame, but also keeps them under constant control. To check how the state defense order is being carried out, a delegation of the Ministry of Defense headed by Deputy Minister Yuri Borisov flew to the Irkutsk Aviation Plant. According to him, IAP is one of the most advanced in the country in terms of technical equipment, production organization, staffing and economic indicators. Borisov emphasized that 3,5 million rubles of average annual output per worker is "a very serious indicator."
According to the chief aviation - Deputy Commander in Chief of the Air Force for Aviation, Hero of Russia Colonel Sergei Kobylash, Su-30SM will significantly increase the combat capabilities of the Russian Air Force, as its ability to simultaneously detect and defeat several targets and super maneuverability are unique. Fighters will enter the Air Force as a whole squadron.

The design of the Yak-130 allows you to work out the piloting skills of all domestic 4-generation fighter jets, as well as the most popular foreign models. The creators claim that it is possible to master the piloting of fighters, even 5-th generation. It is planned to begin work on the creation of a full-fledged combat version of a light assault fighter based on a combat training aircraft.
