Russian President Vladimir Putin has signed a decree on bestowing the Order of Courage on three pilots of an Il-112V military transport plane that crashed near Moscow on August 17, according to the information posted on the Kremlin’s website on Tuesday.

The award was bestowed posthumously "for the courage, valor and self-sacrifice displayed in testing and mastering a new aircraft," the statement says.

"To bestow the Order of Courage on Dmitry Komarov, 1st class test pilot of the Ilyushin Public Aircraft Company, the city of Moscow (posthumously)," the statement reads.

The Order of Courage was also posthumously bestowed on Nikolai Kuimov (head of the flight service, 1st class test pilot) and Nikolai Khludeyev (1st class test flight engineer).

  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.
