BroskiWouldn't be hard for Iran to convert them into light fighters if they wanted to, or to apply the technology to their current domestic light fighter.

Their current light fighter is based on the F-5 and to be honest an F-5 with a 23mm twin barrel cannon would be an impressive little fighter with a modern radar and avionics and their new AAMs.
They could use their F-5 as a basic trainer and use the Yak-130 for advanced training to prepare their pilots for Su-35s and Su-30s and perhaps MiG-35s or Checkmates...
Russia could probably do with a simple cheap light training aircraft too... perhaps they could do a swap.
Yak-130 is not super cheap and is specifically an advanced trainer so having a more basic jet trainer would be interesting.
The Russians are making the engine themselves for the Yak-130 and it has 25% more thrust... perhaps an AB version might be suitable for the Iranian F-5s... that would make them rather spritely...

Iran has selected 40 pilots to train in Russia with Su-35 fighters.
The first group will be sent to Russia and the rest will receive training on the Yak-130.
After completing the first batch of training in Russia, the remaining pilots are trained within the country.

When the Phantom of the Army Air Force encounters the American F-18 Hornet while returning after bombing ISIS in Iraq.The Iranian F-4 fighter places itself behind the American F-18 and locked on it for a few moments.
American fighter to get out of this situation; He gives a maneuver to get rid of the phantom, but the phantom is placed behind it again with a counter maneuver and varnished on it again, and the phantom is placed at 12 o'clock.
This video was published recently due to security reasons and the fact that the army had to secretly carry out its operations in Syria and Iraq
