Yak-130 trainer enters Russian use

摘要

Russia's air force has taken delivery of its first six Yakovlev-designed Yak-130 combat trainers from manufacturer Irkut, with the aircraft drawn from a 55-unit deal signed by Moscow last December. Three of the aircraft were flown to the air force's training base at Borisoglebsk, about 108nm (200km) east of Voronezh, from the Irkutsk production site on 5 October, the company says.
