I've posted before that Pentagon should force USAF, USN, USMC to standardize on Yak-130, or maybe clean sheet same concept, for not just trainer (Chinese have version that does carrier ops, unlike new USN trainer....and if USN trainer can't do carriers, WTF does USN need diff trainer than USAF???), but the whole range of meat and potatoes, bread and butter 2nd tier roles.CAS, COIN, radar picket, missile truck, lite tanker, and even ASW.Not only are the Chinese selling their versions of this to the other half of the world, at low, low prices, the Italians are doing exactly WTF I said for non-NATO Austria. Naturally, all this can be copied by China.https://theaviationist.com/2026/02/04/indonesia-abandons-f-15ex-selects-m-346f/People have started to figure out all the ultra modern features in cars are same in base Korean cars at $100+ German, because it all comes from same production line, including the computer controlled suspension, etc.
>>64851879Bizarre post tbqh
>>64851879>at low, low prices
>>64851890We've got one guy here that's obsessed with the yak-130.This might be him or just a garden variety retard.Funnily enough, there's also an Aermacchi autist that serves as his natural predator. Isn't nature fascinating? If we're lucky he just might show up
>>64851890no, I'm mainstream, everyone else is bizarre.BTW, they should also make a Zero Launch version to slap on stern helo decks of DDs. With air2air refueling they can find somewhere else to land...most of the time.
>>64851910>here we see the retarded Yak-130 enjoyer in his natural environment, a Mongolian throat-singing discussion board. it is a young male, recently cast out from its mother's basement and her nurturing nuggets and tendies, and fending for himself for the first time. as night falls, he lifts up his head, and sends out a challenge across the board. he is marking his territory. he hopes to find a friendly herd, possibly even a mate. but his call may have attracted the attentions of another of this discussion board's denizens, one of the world's most deadliest predators.
>>64851933I just like calling it Yak to trigger and troll
>>64851933I fucking lol'd
it looks small
>>64852182its about 10% bigger than A-4 Skyhawk.its superiority lies in it was conceived as dual role trainer/lite combat when first designed.
>>64851879>>>/toy/
>>64852589at 1.4 vs 1.6, its nearly as fast as an F-35, and is one of the original "factory" launch platforms for the Chinese missiles that bagged Rafales recently.PS- F-35 has no stealth when it carries external stores, or when it shows its ass in about 110degs from behind.
>>64852670>1.4a Yak-130 isn't doing 1.4 level with stores, honey>launch platforms for the Chinese missiles that bagged Rafales recentlyyou could kill jeets in J-35s with AA-8s launched from a Mig-21, doesn't mean shit, jeets are jeets
