Russia has successfully conducted the maiden flight of its upgraded Yak-130M, a next-generation aircraft that transforms the iconic Yak-130 from an advanced jet trainer into a capable light multirole combat aircraft. Developed by Yakovlev and backed by Russia's state technology conglomerate Rostec, the Yak-130M features a modern AESA radar, advanced avionics, precision-strike capabilities, and compatibility with new air-to-air and air-to-surface weapons. The aircraft is designed to engage aerial and ground targets, including heavy-class drones, while continuing to serve as an advanced Lead-In Fighter Trainer (LIFT) for pilots transitioning to frontline fighters like the Su-30SM and Su-57. The maiden test flight lasted around 50 minutes and was completed successfully, marking a major milestone for Russia's military aviation industry. #russia #yak130m #russianairforce #fighterjet #military #aesa #rostec #su57 #russiawar #ukrainewar #russiaukrainewar Times Of India (TOI) Is The Larges
