Yak-130 combat trainer showcased at MAKS

[ExNihiloJimmy]

Russia is a funny little country

[darkon112]

@ExNihiloJimmy What's so funny about it ? And little ?

[Wyvern0110]

Truly a beautiful looking Trainer aircraft, certainly one of the best i have seen to date.

@123754100 fuck america)))

[Ralroost]

Such a cool plane- also very cool they're combat capable

[swisstestpilot]

A very nice Trainer (and light ground attaker) very up to date. i sometimes saw the Yak130 s "italian brother " douring testflights north of milano near switzerland. I would realy like to have a ride in it.

[SilentEagles]

I like the Chinese L-15 better than Russian Yak-130. The L-15 use full screen glass cockpit instead of 3 glass cockpit.

[sizzert]

@SilentEagles doesnt metter  how the cockpit looks like . its the radar and manueverability that does metter

[Abanamat85]

@SilentEagles

The L-15 seems to be too similar to the Yak-130

[wellerocks]

@SilentEagles The L15 uses three MFD's (Multi-Functional-Displays) just like the Yak-130 does, it's just that the L-15 has them all in a straight row.

@SilentEagles

Yakovlev has assisted chinises, so no way that chinise is better.

[ReDDDgo]

Me surprises, why foreigners (basically Americans) so jealously react that Russia co-operates with other countries... "ah ah whose display"

Russia is integrated into the world market.

[ReDDDgo]

By the way, all American science it basically work of emigrants which at all did not get education in the USA. So and some countries which have selected the American way. It is the very bad way.

[ReDDDgo]

But, the Russian science is based on own resources. Russia does not entice scientists. And the Russian science in many branches has in the lead positions.

[ALBATROIZ]

Who made this eletronics displays? And avionics?

How many percent of the eletronic hardware is russian?

I hope they built the entire plane!

Go Russia!

[bombarderoazul]

@ALBATROIZ It's entirely Russian, but they received help in improving their computer systems from the japanese in the 90's. But Russia now has technology comparable to america.

[ALBATROIZ]

Really? That's a nice new. So i don't understand how can Russia be so strong in militar products and at the same time have no big and profitable engineering companies?

Why don't they play the same role that countries like Japan, Korea, Singapore and China have in eletronic/hi-tech market?

Russia have all the tools to make this possible!

[sizzert]

@ALBATROIZ Russia needs more military . cos usa , japan and more than the halft of europe wants the country. thats why russia needs a large military.

[Starscream2040]

@ALBATROIZ

It's the damage caused by decades of comunism

[Megasly]

@ALBATROIZ Не интересно-(

[gulag1979]

@ALBATROIZ although I`m not russian, I heard they have big plans for nano-technology

[adrastea99]

@ALBATROIZ

Russia is a world leader in nanotech, materials tech, medicine and electronics.

Just because their companies aren't famous (mainly because their names are hard to pronounce) doesn't mean that your desktop computer doesn't contain a few parts "Made In Russia".

[AlbatrossDude]

@adrastea99 Good to know!

[PeanutButterAndZorg]

@ALBATROIZ As a Russian, I know that the system is full of corruption and greedy fuckhead politicians, despite the amazing potential.

[pavel280488AA]

lol russia made all avionics and radars all time

[omnadrener]

Yes it entered service in July

[kumariner]

Yesterday I saw this plane (serial already) flying above my home. Very nice. Congradulations Irkut and best wishes!

[Almugaded]

nice plane

it would control half of the worldwide market

[jovmohawk]

Great machine..!

[jamesskull2000]

can someone tell me if russia is working on helmet mounted display

[strizhi]

They have already even in Soviet times. Most MiG-29 pilots were handed helmets with sensors that all it takes is a turn of the neck and point of your head to lock on to target without having to turn the whole plane like we do. This gave mig pilots a great advantage, but sure, helmets are an evolution process and I'm sure they are continuing this work in progress.

[jamesskull2000]

yup they bought it from the jews

[Sarasu23]

actually most of the training planes are special designed so it costs less to fly them but they are similair in electronics, capabilities so to simulate the real plane in which the pilot will fly for most of his carrier.. us had like f-5 tiger in the vietnam war, and so on, .. it is cheaper, and then after a couple of dozens hours you switch to SU-30 etc..

[USAAIRPOWER]

I want to see PAK FA Debut!

[Killazer]

Its probably going to be 5 years or so before that happens if its really a 5th gen.

[0sL1cK]

Все хотят))По непроверенным данным должны показать в декабре. Ждем.. =)

[ovadafone]

to me it doesnt make sense to train in an aircraft unless that aircraft is the one you will be flying.combat training of course

[ashleybynes]

Well I guess you have a point there. Thats why they also have Su-27 trainer versions. But I think using the Yak-130 resembles most of the configurations of modern fighters imo. =)

[kibabiba]

it's for green pilots first time flying......Su-27 is much more difficult to fly at

[D9magestic]

very impressive.

[charlessmyth]

Good looking plane.

[topoljM]

Beautiful plane!
