Press TV \u2013 Sept 2, 2023<\/strong><\/h1>\n

The\u00a0Islamic Republic of Iran Air Force\u00a0(IRIAF) has\u00a0taken delivery of a batch of advanced Russian-made\u00a0Yakovlev Yak-130\u00a0pilot training aircraft, which have the characteristics of 4th and 5th generation fighter jets.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Images circulating on social media showed one of the light attack training jet\u00a0parked at a hanger, with IRIAF logo printed on its fuselage,\u00a0Iran\u2019s news agencies reported.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Yakovlev Yak-130, developed by\u00a0Russian aircraft designer and manufacturer\u00a0Yakovlev\u00a0in conjunction with Italian firm Aermacchi, is a\u00a0subsonic\u00a0two-seat jet trainer\u00a0and\u00a0light combat aircraft.<\/p>\n

The jet trainer entered service with the\u00a0Russian Air Force in 2010, and is currently employed by Algerian, Bangladeshi, Belarusian, Laotian and Myanmar air forces.<\/p>\n

The Yak-130 aircraft is equipped with nine hardpoints, allowing for the attachment of various ordnance or fuel tanks. Two hardpoints are located on the wingtips, one underneath the fuselage, and six more under the wings, enabling a total combat load capacity of around 3,000 kilograms or around 6,600 pounds.<\/p>\n

Its maximum airspeed is just below Mach 1, and the reported service ceiling is 12,500 meters or about 41,000 feet.<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, Iranian Defense\u00a0Minister Brigadier General Mohammad Reza Ashtiani\u00a0launched the production line of homegrown Yasin training jet, which could also be tasked for close air support\u00a0(CAS).<\/p>\n

The new version of Yasin training jet that was unveiled on March 11 appears to have been\u00a0much more upgraded and developed in tactical terms compared to the first prototype unveiled during a ceremony in\u00a0Shahid Noje Airbase\u00a0in\u00a0Iran\u2019s western province of Hamadan on October 17, 2019.<\/p>\n

The Iranian jet trainer is said to be furnished with a homegrown ejection seat, avionics, engine, and landing gear.<\/p>\n

The airborne weather radar installed on its radome has been manufactured by domestic knowledge-based companies.<\/p>\n

Yasin reportedly weighs 5.5 tonnes, and is able to fly up to 1,200 kilometers.<\/p>\n

Its wing design enables the jet to land and take off at a speed of at least 200\u00a0kilometers per hour.<\/p>\n
