The National Interest: Yak-130 - “a little horror that NATO should be afraid of”

American edition The National Interest stated that American experts call the Russian combat training multipurpose fighter Yak-130 "a little horror that NATO should be afraid of," reports "Russian newspaper".

And, as noted in the material, this statement is based on real facts: under each wing of the Russian aircraft there are three suspension points, allowing it to be equipped with three tons of different weapons, including air-to-surface, air-to-air missiles, free-fall bombs, precision-guided bombs, cannon containers, unguided rockets, and outboard fuel tanks.

In addition, an 130-mm cannon can be mounted under the Yak-23 fuselage, and there are two suspension points for air-to-air missiles at the ends of the wings.

The weight of a fully equipped and fueled fighter is 10 300 kg, which is a little more than half the maximum take-off weight of the F-16 - the main multipurpose fighter of the US Air Force and most American allies.

Currently, the Yak-130 combat training fighters are in service with the Algerian Air Force, and contracts have been signed for their delivery to Belarus and Bangladesh.

that's for sure, if the Yak-130 is horror, then what is PAK FA, Yars and Iskander.

Yeah. They read Suvorov (rezun), and realized that he was the "winged jackal" who would bury them, like the "Nakajima" and "Zero" fleet in Pearl Harbor. We need to give the cutters the idea that any container ship or dry cargo ship is equipped with an elevator and a take-off deck with a springboard in a week, and one hundred thousand graduates of aero clubs at the helm of the Yak-130 will turn the United States into a parched land with burning skeletons of Abrams and accordion factories. And on each trolley ... sorry, the plane will be written: "at the wheel of a cadet."
It is strange that they are not afraid of the fact that Russia has something to teach its pilots.

[Darkmor]

Well, they are not afraid of the aircraft itself, but of the fact that it can easily be converted from training to combat. This allows you to circumvent many restrictions on the supply of weapons, and it is more difficult to predict the forces of opponents who have such aircraft in the park.

In principle, even a civilian can buy it - naturally, without a weapon. But weapons suspension can be obtained in a roundabout way on the black market, or even bungled independently (for example, a bomb). Those. A potential terrorist somewhere in Europe may have a combat aircraft with homing missiles within a radius of approach to any capital.
P.S. I would have bought one for myself if I hadn’t lived in Russia, where the rules of flight for civil aviation are full of plague.

[your1970]

with flight rules for civil aviation - a complete plague all over the world (well, except for very, very African countries). And so everywhere you need permission to receive, notify dispatchers, do not fly in closed areas, etc.

Interesting fact. In the USSR there were freight tleibuses. And, in general, the potential of the horned friends of large and not very cities has not been studied and used. And the cadets of trolleybus schools were sometimes unusually attractive ... (or their hostel?).
Thank you for your kind word, GIV.

Each vegetable and fruit has its own place in the garden ... As they say - it’s small, but smart ... And it’s unpretentious ... There are many operations in which the use of heavy machines is simply excessive ... And this one - jumped out from the corner, gave in the face, - and again hid ...

[silver_roman]

Bullshit ... so that the Yak-130 can be used in the BV, you need to do a lot of work oooooooo. in fact it’s generally a glider! I don’t understand the rapture ... the news is about nothing! another knocking out the dough from Gongres if the article is real
This is not a combat aircraft, but a training one. In order to adapt it at least for assault missions, it is necessary to strengthen the hull with armor, put a lot of electronics: BSU, radars, etc.
Let's really look at things, not DRAW!
It’s a pity there is no SSI or VAFa ... so we’ll plunge into non-competence!

[Black Colonel]

Sorry no SSI or VAFa
VAF is, only he is under a different nickname. He considers it necessary, will inform you in PM.

[aleks 62 next]

..... Nonsense ... so that the Yak-130 could be used in the BV, ....

.... And what is the question ???? .... It is possible to use the An-2 (in Vietnam it was the case) .... In general, this is a platform that allows you to carry quite serious weapons (3 tons, for comparison, Su- 25 -4 tons), which is generally not bad ... For shooting from a cannon you need a sight, and there it is, to throw bombs - not all planes have a bomb sight, they throw in the old way - by eye (using marker lines on the fusel (like on IL-2), the accuracy is really low, but within reasonable limits .... But if you take it more seriously, then put a laser rangefinder for firing NUR - there is also a place (there was infa about such a refinement) .... Armor by the way there is only on specialized attack aircraft (Su-25, A-10), the rest cost armored backs ...

[Now we are free]

With all due respect to our weapons in general, and to the classy and timely appearance of the Yak-130 UBS in our Air Force.

??? The National Interest will soon be horrified that we have a MACROV PISTOL! Therefore, an urgent need to lay down two more, or better three, aircraft carriers of the Gerald Ford class. Hysteria can no longer be traced with an unaided eye and it is designed for one, to provide orders for the US defense industry + to force US satellites and NATO members to buy weapons produced by you know where, in order to counter the "terrible Russian threat".

“A little horror that NATO should be afraid of”

The weight of a fully equipped and refueled fighter is 10 300 kg, and this is a little more than half maximum take-off weight of the F-16 - the main multi-role fighter of the US Air Force and most American allies.

really, "uzhosnyh" ... NATO members are hastily submitting their resignation. The author is a schoolboy?

[Pacifist]

The greatest horror for them is people. People who see the real state of affairs and are capable of critical and analytical thinking. If it is, then worse than this weapon does not exist.

[Ruslan]

Yak-130 has one problem, there is no supersonic engine. and were not able to deliver. can somehow make a supersonic version. and so the car class and it looks very beautiful and predatory.

[Black Colonel]

Does training aircraft really need supersonic? On the Su-25 it is not, and nothing. Each has its own task, and the task has its own performance characteristics. That which can also fill up letaka is good, missiles allow. And for this you need the appropriate avionics.

[Ruslan]

Well, it seems to me that it will not be harmful to young pilots to feel supersonic while still on a training aircraft with all the consequences.

then with the alteration of the glider, it will not be Yak-130 ...

[Lt. Air Force stock]

It is not clear what horror? The Yak-130 is a combat training subsonic aircraft that can perform the functions of an attack aircraft; the Su-25, which has armor of important components and a large combat load, should inspire much more fear.

Quote: Old26

Yes, many authors love expressions that are more juicy)) but in fact the Yak-130 is a so-called "unaccounted for", that is, the aircraft seems to be a combat training and let's say someone considering the LDP did not take into account the presence of these machines, considered it possible to carry out this or that operation with the expectation that the Su-24 or Su-25 will not arrive ..... and then "desks" arrive and dump out such contents ..... (IMHA)
Well, the articles themselves are trying to paint colorfully))) "I am horror flying on the wings of the night")))) and the whole point is here-

under each wing of a Russian aircraft there are three suspension points, allowing you to equip it with three tons of different weapons

Well, to note separately)) I’m glad that it’s not our journalists who painted such epithets

In general, it’s better to go to the source site .. and it’s written in more detail .. what is worth at least this excerpt ...

But today's multi-role combat trainers are a viable and comparatively low-cost alternative to conventional fighters

Still, the aircraft is mainly training, it can solve some other problems, but is poorly protected and there is no radar ... so far
And so, of course, chic)

[Altona]

Sat sat, now began to escalate hysteria. As if the Yak-130 appeared today, arose from nowhere overnight.

Yes, "Yak-130" turned out !!!

[atamankko]

GOOD PLANE, SMALL YES DELETED.

[rotmistr60]

American experts call the Russian combat training multipurpose fighter Yak-130 “a little horror that NATO should be afraid of

In order to maintain the opinion about the significance of NATO in modern conditions, there will be many more "horrors".

[midashko]

Attachment points are good. And what about the detection, guidance, control, navigation, communication means? It seems he can carry out small tasks, well, there he’ll drop a bomb in a cannon, bombard a post unit, transfer drugs. What else is he capable of?

[donavi49]

This is a training aircraft, for the Russian Air Force they don’t even supply it with an abdominal cannon container (or supply it directly to the warehouse). For it is not necessary.

Its combat use will be identical to that of the L-39, if it is pressed very hard, something can be dropped somewhere or even with NARS can be fired. However, why is this necessary with the live Su-25?

Yak is working on the LTS project for one foreign customer, most likely starting with A and ending with R. The bottom line is:
- structural reinforcement
- a container for providing surveillance and guidance, now it is completely blind
- Finalization of avionics for the use of guided weapons (AS, maybe there will be some missiles, but AS will be)

[SPACE59]

We never see a similar article about Amer’s weapons. For what purpose are they trying about the terrible weapons of Russia, which in fact are not (talk about this article)? demonize us! And we are so pleased that our weapons delight them!

[silver_roman]

cram under the wing 3 tons of missiles is not a tricky thing. but there is on the YAK-130 FAR / AFAR, BIUS, etc. to successfully use these 3 tons of weapons? Or again NURSY work?

[Thirsty for wind]

An excellent product. Organically filled the "empty niches". A working bee, but if suddenly, it can bite.

[Andrei from Chelyabinsk]

Gentlemen from NATO solve their personal problems - I want money, I want financing, and in general there are more babosiks
Under this guise, they are not like the Yak-130, they are a kite launched by seven-year-old tomboy outside the village of Gadyukino, the ubervunderwaffe will be announced. Well, what kind of "horror" of Yak ?! This is NOT a combat aircraft, this is a training aircraft that can theoretically be used in the course of hostilities - but of extremely low intensity, against gangs armed with small arms (if there is a MANPADS, it is no longer worth it). And in a serious turmoil and against a serious adversary, the Yaki-130 will fall off with sakura petals.
Therefore, the enthusiasm "ah, what a formidable kid, Russian superweapon, all NATO drank from fear, oh, look, he has three pendants under his wing, what a lovely mimimi" - she ... how polite it would be ... not from a great mind, Alas.

[Mountain shooter]

He is cheap, quite capable of himself, and there will be many of them. It is clear that the radar with AFAR will not hurt him, but who knows if there is such a version in the development. You won’t use supersonic in aerial combat, but missiles do not care which platform to launch from - PAK FA or Yak-130. in the Second World War and Po-2 fought, and found a battle niche.

[Wedmak]

Why are they so timid everyone there. And they apparently still do not know about the integration of the nose of the optical sight, which turns this kid into a light attack aircraft. Maybe they really are sitting on some grass there. Total fear.

[kil 31]

We still have one. "Night witches" can fly as many bombs as they can fit into the cockpit.

[Ivan Tucha]

"Ishachok" of the 21st century

[aromatologist]

Yes! A good combat training, but he does not pose any major threat: firstly, he is UB and that’s it; secondly, they are in service with all 10 sides in Russia at least for now, and even less work. All these gentlemen from NATO rod only because it is necessary to inflate the military budget. Andryukha from Chelyabinsk is right.

[roskot]

Not only the Yak-130 is terrible. Here and on the road, any student will be terrified.

[Mera joota]

Stupid news that only a complete nerd can take seriously. It is possible to be afraid of a training aircraft only if it is controlled by a kamikaze, there are no other options.
PS: Personally, I prefer to be respected, smiling at the meeting, saying hello and raising my hat. If others scatter from me in horror, then it will be more than unpleasant for me, therefore the joy of the patriots from the realization that someone is afraid of them is incomprehensible. This is something clinical or complexes ...

Nothing impressive. This is a demonstrator of Yak with mock-ups and 2 PTB. They could not even pick up a terrible photo. That would be much more inspired for 4 KABA is power . Although also a demonstrator and not even for use in the study of flight qualities.

I think that with the transition to the 5th generation, 60% of countries will not have money for it. For 20 years they will fly at 4m, then they will be forced to switch to such universal aircraft. And they will not be able to resist the "Big" countries, but they will fight each other on such planes.

By the way, all "positive" articles about Russia published in the West should be regarded as propaganda - intimidation of its own population in order to justify the insane actions of the Western establishment or a kind of "target designation".

Bloomberg announced a couple of days ago that Russian oil companies are the most efficient in the world in terms of margin, efficiency, etc.
It seems ... wow, what are we (Russia). But in fact, Bloomberg simply says publicly: You gentlemen have forgotten this point of growth in Russia. There you have to beat, spread rot, so that Russia quickly bent.

For in terms of profit and efficiency, from the sale and production of oil, respectively, nothing and no one can yet be compared with the Gulf countries, yet.
This horse is understandable and a no brainer.

It's not about China and our air defense. It’s just that the Yak-130 was created jointly with the Italians, since it took a lot of money to develop a new aircraft, which neither the developers nor the Russian Ministry of Defense had. Due to disagreements with the Italian partner, the joint development of the Yak-130 at the final stage stopped. Aermacchi received all the design and technical documentation for the airframe, and then released its own training aircraft - M-346.

И issue plus option about the same as ours.
As for the combat option, the Yak-131 was being developed at one time, but the Russian Air Force abandoned it, since the weapons and combat load of the Yak-130 were suitable for the tasks of a light combat aircraft, but the pilot's defense was insufficient.
In general, NATO has exactly the same "little horror". But it can only be used against an enemy with weak air defense. Israel EMNIP has ordered 30 or 40 of these machines. They may use it as a light attack aircraft.
