It is worth noting that NATO really has every reason be wary of the first Russian military aircraft that was developed after the collapse of the USSR from scratch, but not based on any Soviet model. “Yak-130”, which is in the Organization The North Atlantic Treaty has a code name “mitten”, under each wing has three suspension points, allowing to equip an attack aircraft with three tones of weapons, for example, air-to-surface missiles, class missiles air-to-air, free-fall bombs, precision guided bombs, unguided missiles and so on.
In addition, the Russian fighter can be equipped fixed under the fuselage with a twenty-three-millimeter gun, and on the ends of the wings of the “Yak-130” there are two more suspension points for equipping the aircraft with additional air-to-air missiles. This fighter, fully armed and having full a fuel tank weighs ten tons and three hundred kilograms, which is two times less than the maximum take-off weight of NATO multipurpose attack aircraft “F-16”.
It is worth noting that today combat training aircraft “Yak-130” is in service not only in the Russian Federation, but also in the Algerian People’s Democratic Republic. Moreover, after demonstrating this fantastic fighter on recently the past air show MAKS-2015, many countries became interested in it of the world. Already signed contacts for the supply of this equipment in Republic of Belarus and People’s Republic of Bangladesh. By request many export aircraft will be equipped with customers additional technologies, for example, an integrated laser range finder.
If American warriors terrified a Russian bomber “SU-24”, what will happen to them if they see fast-winged in the sky and the fantastically powerful Yak-130?
