The Russian Defense Ministry is working out the issue of creating a light airborne early warning and control (AWACS) aircraft, Deputy Defense Minister Yury Borisov said Friday. This reported by Sputnik.

Borisov on Friday visited the Beriev Aircraft Company that manufactures the Beriev A-100 AWACS aicraft.

"I think that we will raise the issue of creating such an aircraft system, possibly based on a light transport aircraft, before the industry. At least, there are analogues of such an aircraft in the world," the deputy minister said.

In July, Russia will be testing the A-100 airborne early warning and control plane.

Another 3 aircraft of this type were received by the airline this year from STLC.

  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.
