The first three planes out of 12 previously ordered arrived in the country
MOSCOW, January 29. /tass/. The first batch of the previously ordered 12 combat training aircraft (UBS) Yak-130 arrived in Vietnam. This was reported to TASS by a source in the military-industrial complex.
"The first batch of Yak-130 aircraft for Vietnam was delivered at the end of 2021. We are talking about three cars out of 12 previously ordered," he said, without specifying other details of the delivery.
Rosoboronexport did not comment on this information to TASS. An official request has been sent to the Federal Service for Military-Technical Cooperation of the Russian Federation.
In 2019, a contract was signed for the purchase of at least 12 UBS Yak-130 built by the Irkutsk Aviation Plant - a branch of PJSC Irkut Corporation (as part of the United Aircraft Corporation) in the amount of over $ 350 million. The squadron of Russian aircraft being acquired by the Vietnamese Air Force is to replace the outdated Czechoslovak-built L-39s that have been supplied to the country since the early 1980s.
