The Yakovlev Yak-130 (NATO reporting name: Mitten) is a subsonic, two-seat, advanced jet trainer and light combat aircraft. The aircraft began as the Yak/AEM-130, a joint project by Yakovlev and Aermacchi. Development of the aircraft began in 1991, and it first flew in April 1996. In 2000, the companies ended the partnership, and Yakovlev continued to develop the aircraft as the Yak-130. In 2002, it won a Russian government tender for training aircraft, and in 2010, the aircraft entered service with the Russian Air Force. The Yak-130 can replicate the characteristics of several four-plus generation fighters and the fifth-generation Sukhoi Su-57. It can also perform light-attack and reconnaissance duties, carrying a combat load of 3,000 kg (6,600 lb).
