thanks! you are great!

What's their price ? 82 is not bad at all, the modernization is going fast.

How much of them do they need ? Russia has like 1000+ L-39, they won't replace them all.

White nose is there because there's something inside it? (besides possible speed measure sensor) Or just for aesthetics?

The first three Yak-130 for 2017

On May 18, 2017, three new Yak-130 training and combat aircrafts built by the Irkutsk Aviation Plant (IAZ) of PJSC Irkut Corp. flew from Irkutsk to the European part of Russia.The cars have a rather unusual numbering - the red side numbers "01", "50" and "100" (the supposed serial numbers are 1318, 1319 and 1320.) The aircraft's destination is unknown: these are the first serial Yak-130s built by the IAZ for the Russian Civil Aviation Commission under the 2017 program.

These aircraft were built by the IAZ in the framework of the contract for the supply of VKS of Russia to the end of 2018, 30 Yak-130 aircraft, signed by the Russian Defense Ministry in April 2016. The first ten Yak-130 aircraft under this contract were transferred to the military power plant in October-December 2016 and entered the 200th training aviation base In Armavir (Krasnodar Territory), which provides training for the restored Krasnodar Higher Military Aviation School of Aviation (KVVAUL) named after AK Serov.

With the transfer of the first three Yak-130 aircraft to the Russian Air Force in Russia in 2017, the total number of serial vehicles of this type delivered to the Russian Defense Ministry has reached 92 units - of which the 12 first two series were built by OAO Nizhny Novgorod Aviation Plant Sokol, and 80 at the Irkutsk Aviation Plant At the beginning of the year, 42 Yak-130 aircraft (including eight actually unused vehicles of Nizhny Novgorod construction) were in the structure of the 209th training aviation base of KVVAUL in Borisoglebsk, and as part of the 200th aviation training base of the KVVAUL in Armavir - 40 Units.

Two Yak-130 accidents per day



One of the cadets during a training flight at the airborne training base of the Air Force of the Ministry of Defense in Borisoglebsk accidentally landed the plane, the Mash channel reported in the Telegram messenger on Wednesday, June 21. Before landing on the Yak-130, the front landing gear of the chassis did not come out.
According to Mash, the cadet together with the instructor tried to make a series of maneuvers, which could help to release the rack.
"Did not work. Then they decided to put the plane on at random. And they sat down! Only with a nose they stuck a little", - have informed in the messenger.
Correspondent "Vesti-Voronezh" clarifies the information about what happened.

Earlier today, another Yak-130 crash landed:

Two accidents per day or just two accidents in one day?

If the latter, makes it sound like those Yaks are talking bout of the sky when they aren't....

Military aviation school in Russia’s Krasnodar receives 3 new Yak-130 combat trainers

The Krasnodar higher military aviation school for pilots has been receiving Yak-130 combat trainers every year since 2013

MOSCOW, June 26. /TASS/. The Krasnodar higher military aviation school for pilots has received three new Yak-130 fighter trainers under the 2017 government defense order, a spokesman for the Russian Defense Ministry said on Monday.

"Specialists of aviation engineering services and pilots of the Russian aerospace forces conducted operational acceptance of the aircraft on the ground and in the air, respectively. They checked the quality of the aircraft’s assembly, operation of all systems and mechanisms and correspondence of flight and technical characteristics to those declared," the spokesman said.

The Krasnodar higher military aviation school for pilots has been receiving Yak-130 combat trainers every year since 2013. In all, it has received 80 such aircraft.

The Yak-130 is a two-seat jet fighter jet of the new generation used to train pilots and perform combat all-weather missions at air and ground-based targets. The plane’s flight characteristics and maneuverability are similar to those of modern fighter jets at subsonic flight speed, which makes it possible to use such planes to train pilots for 4+ and 5the generation aircraft.

Two accidents in one day. Third in a month.

Wonder what the results of investigation are or of they are still going through it?

Another Yak-130 crash. First reported as a Yak-40.

09/16 15:35 YAK-130 PLANE HAS CRASHED NEAR BORISOGLEBSK AIRFIELD, BOTH PILOTS ALIVE - RUSSIAN DEFENSE MINISTRY

Looks like its time for a thorough investigation. Crash rate is becoming high. It'll loose serious export value.

That didn't happen for newly built F-16's that crash.  Or for that matter, any other jet. Previous two look like they can be repaired quite easily. If this one required ejection, then it is done for.

Many of the Yak-130 are still using some Ukrainian components.  So it may not be a hard one to figure out.  But I like to know too what is happening. Landing gear before hand, which caused some damage. But this one may have been a fly by wire malfunction or engine.

If you are a Murican "ally", you must accept what Murica will give you to eat. Russian case is different.

*RAGE INTENSIFIES*

Fly by wire? Bangladesh AF crash was for the same reason!

Remember that the aircraft here at this base were the first ones produced and therefore could have more foreign parts plus design or manufacturing imperfections since corrected. Mind you I have read that the 10 built for a foreign buyer (Syria or Libya?) and then purchased by the VKS are considered garbage by the base and not used unless absolutely necessary. Not the best however you look at it.

T-47, you raging at me? I don't make these decisions. Although, as Franco said, many more may be using more foreign components. Don't forget, this was a JV between Italy and Russia. Byproduct of the 90's. Since then it carried a lot of foreign components. Now? I don't know. I think all newer ones will have mostly to all Russian components but after 2018 or so (currently working on engines to replace Ukies). Which leads me to believe that is the reason why they haven't made any new purchases lately - waiting for replacement by import substitution. Till then, current Yak-130's, one still waiting delivery and the L-39 will have to suffice.

Nº49 of 209 UAB , Borisoglebsk(Vorónezh Oblast)  crashed 16-sept-2017 , 40 Km south of the base , at Novonikolayevska "Volgograd" (Stalingrad) Oblast
http://www.interfax.ru/russia/579333
This is the third series Yak-130 lost , after the Nº32 of Borisoglebsk crashed 15-april-2014 and Nº93 of Lipestk crashed 25-sept-2010
In all 3 cases the pilots ejected without any problem
Also two planes , Nº43 of Borisoglebsk and Nº55 of Armavir, had an incident with the landing gear the same day (21-jun-2017)

It's one thing to loose fighters and bombers and completely different to have faulty advanced trainers falling out of the sky. Russia needs to fix this pronto.

Considered garbage for what reason? Because crash caused by degraded quality export variant sounds very....disturbing to say at least.
