The Yak-130, which was expected to be present at Farnborough but did not appear, has been ordered for Russian air force service.
Oleg Demchenko, the general director of OAO Yakovlev OKB, said a preliminary order for 10 aircraft had been placed for delivery from 2006. The Russian air forces have an eventual requirement for about 250 aircraft by 2015, and Yakovlev says it plans to market the Yak-130 worldwide from 2006. The most likely buyers are India and Algeria.
