Zitat:Iran Receives Russian Yak-130 Advanced Trainer Jetshttps://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/ir...ainer-jets
The Yak-130’s arrival is likely a precursor to Russian Su-35 Flanker eventually joining the Iranian Air Force. [...]
Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps-linked Tasnim News Agency reported Saturday that the Islamic Republic of Iran Air Force (IRIAF) received the trainers. The story includes a picture of a Yak-130 in a hangar displaying a high-visibility IRIAF paint scheme. A video on Twitter shows a Yak-130 with the same paint job reportedly taxiing at Iran’s Isfahan Air Base. [...] Not only a trainer aircraft, the Yak-130 has a secondary light attack capability. Its nine hardpoints can carry gun pods, rockets, the R-73 (AA-11 “Archer”) air-to-air missile, and both guided and unguided bombs.
