TEHRAN – The Iranian Army’s Air Force has received a batch of Russian-made Yak-130 training jets, Tasnim reported Saturday.
Images released recently indicate that the Iranian Air Force has taken delivery of Yak-130 advanced jet trainers, according to Tasnim.
Developed by Russia’s Yakovlev and Aermacchi, the Yakovlev Yak-130 is a subsonic two-seat jet trainer and light combat aircraft.
The advanced aircraft would allow Iranian military pilots to undergo training in operating the 4+ and fifth-generation fighter jets, like Sukhoi Su-57.
Iran has already developed a homegrown jet trainer, called Yasin.
