Yakovlev has won the Russian Federation Air Force’s tender for a new-generation combat trainer, the company’s Yak-130 programme manager Konstantin Popovich has told Jane’s Defence Weekly.
I have some questions..
1) What will happen to the Mig-A/T??
2) How many Yak-130 will Russia purchase??
3) Who are likely export customers for the Yak-130??
4) Was the Yak-130 the best choice??
5) How did the Yak-130 differ from the Mig-A/T??
Any other comments on this development??
