Iran’s Yak-130 Fleet Unveiled: Powering Up the IRIAF in 2025

Join us as we dive into Iran’s game-changing acquisition of the Yak-130, a Russian-made advanced jet trainer and light attack aircraft that’s reshaping the Islamic Republic of Iran Air Force (IRIAF). From its first deliveries in September 2023 to its operational debut during the Zolfagar 1403 exercises on February 24, 2025, the Yak-130 has quickly become a cornerstone of Iran’s military modernization. With exclusive insights into its deployment at the 8th Tactical Air Force Base in Isfahan, we explore how this versatile aircraft—capable of training pilots for next-gen fighters like the Su-35 while packing a 3,000 kg combat payload—enhances Iran’s air power amid deepening ties with Russia and rising regional tensions. Featuring footage analysis, expert commentary, and comparisons with rivals like Turkey’s Hürjet and the UAE’s B-250, this video uncovers how the Yak-130’s agility, advanced avionics, and combat prowess are redefining Iran’s deterrence strategy in a sanctions-hit landscape. Don’t miss this deep dive into the aircraft bridging Iran’s past limitations and future ambitions!
