I played with the photo a little Coach, hope you don’t mind.
It’s actually appears 2725 as orginally mentioned.
With no disrespect intended Rii!!!
The Yak-130 is the perfect economical platform to drop bombs and fire rockets on the Syrian people!!
Well done Russia and Putin for attempting to prop up and supply another dictatorship! The Russian’s should call themselves the Soviet Union! Oh they were the Soviet Union 😮The structure of the United Nations Security Council really needs to change or the UN dissolved!

So the Syrian Air Force’s MiG-23s, MiG-21s, MiG-29s, Su-24s are not able to drop bombs on the Syrian people? Or do the Syrians want to do this in style?
Didn’t the Saudis use their F-15s lately to drop bombs on Yemeni people and Saudi Shiites near the Yemeni border?
Burkina Faso Super Tucanos. It seems that these don’t have the internal 12.7 mm machine guns.

They are indeed withdrawn and still offered for sale.
The US has promised 6 to 10 for Lebanon as well with 2013 deliveries. However, the “promise” is much dependent on politics in the region.
If we assume that each F-15 will cost $100 millions, that’s $8 billions. Another $4 billion for the upgrade of 70 F-15s and we’re still quite short of the $30 billion.
Of course, we also have weapons, training, parts and so.
For some reason, announced Saudi deals seem a lot costlier than the usual one’s we read daily.
Saudi AF Hawk krashes.
One of the jet engines? The Hawk is the only single engined jet with the RS AF.
Does anyone have any hard information on the serviceability levels of Kenya’s 22 F-5s, 7 Hawks and Tucanos ? Kenya has been operating F-5s for a long time and seems to have kept them going through thick and thin, maintaining professional competence and serviceability.
They bought more F-5s from Jordan a few years ago.

Just a quick question, why there has not been a twin seat trainer of the JF-17 yet? Wouldn’t the trainer version help market it better?
Jordan Sends Jets To Support Libya No-fly Zone
What about a few BAE Hawk T1s & 200s; light weight, cheap to buy, maintain, good A/A and A/G capabilities, very good subsonic performance. A very good all round little, light weight, multi-role fighter…
Is the Hawk 200 even in production now?
There are many other scenarios than just standing up against the world, like current events in Libya, or Iraq and Yugoslavia in the past decade or so.
How about border conflicts between neighboring countries or even ground support for troops carrying out certain operations?
Even the most poweful nations would face a difficult time when facing the whole world.
