The 269390 asteroid (2009 QA34) was named after the Russian military pilot, former commander of Russian Knights aerobatic team who died in 2009, RIA Novosti reports with reference to the discoverer of the asteroid, astronomer Leonid Elenin.

"I have been waiting for a long time for this moment. The asteroid was named after Igor Valentinovich Tkachenko, Hero of Russia. There were some problems, because Igor Valentinovich was a military pilot. And you may only use the name of a military man of a politician only 70 years after his death. However, I have achieved my aim", - Leonid Elenin said.

The 269390 asteroid (2009 QA34) of the main asteroid belt was discovered in August 2009. At present it is specified in the database of NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory that this asteroid has the following name: Igortkachenko.

  Light combat Yak-130M
  The presentation of the Ya-130M aircraft took place at the international military-technical forum "Army-2024", which was held from August 12 to 14, 2024 at the Patriot Convention and Exhibition Center. It should be noted right away that this is not just the modernization of the Yak-130 aircraft, but the transformation of a combat training aircraft into a full-fledged light combat aircraft. In the information field, this event was marked by a number of brief reports from federal news agencies. But the project, like the Yak-130 aircraft with its unique flight characteristics, deserves a more detailed review, which we decided to do.
