The Yak-130 aircraft have already made their test flights at the air base in Isfahan, sources said.
The aggressor country Russia gave the Yak-130 combat training aircraft to Iran. This was reported yesterday by the state agency IRNA.
It is indicated that the Russian Yak-130 aircraft was imported to Iran and entered service with the country’s Air Force. They will be used to train new pilots who will eventually fly new generation fighters.
The message was accompanied by a photo of a Yak-130 in Iranian Air Force livery with nationality markings and tail number 7-9701. The agency does not report how many aircraft have been delivered to Iran. Also, Tehran has not officially confirmed the receipt of the Yak-130.
In turn, menadefense.net reported that the first Yak-130 was delivered by the aircraft. They then assembled and made their test flights on September 1 from the air base in Isfahan.
The arrival of the Yak-130 paves the way for 4++ generation aircraft like the Su-35 or Su-30, and even fifth generation fighters like the Su-57 that are courting Iran.
It was also noted that the Yak-130 aircraft is capable of carrying three tons of ammunition, performing attack and reconnaissance missions.
finally there is nothing 🙂

In July, the media reported that Russia is not transferring Su-35 aircraft to Iran, although they were paid for more than a year ago. We are talking about 50 fighters.
