Yak-130

I know Yakovlev has planned to develop a nice little multirole fighter out of Yak-130 but there has been no hint out there that they will do it.

Perhaps they can partner up with MiG and develop a fighter out of the Mig-AT or Yak-130, probably Yak-130 since it’s better

-single seat
-more powerful engines
-few more hardpoints
-perhaps a larger wing
-stretched fuselage for more fuel
-allow it to carry wide array of Russia Air to surface and air to air weapons as well as some more Western weapons
-arm is with at least a good radar to allow it to fire R-77 and other weapons

With all that you got yourself a nice very cheap low observable capable small multirole fighter which can also be bought with the twin seat Yak-130 trainer. The current Yak-130 costs anywhere from 10-12mn, this fighter’s cost shouldnt be that much higher, shouldn’t over 20mn

This could be a great competitor to F/A-50 Golden Eagle as a replacement of Mig-21, Mirage III and F-5.

A poor man’s fighter.
