This a good light aircraft. Israel and Singapore both operate the M346.
The USAF needs to introduce a light aircraft like this rather than thinking the F-35 will do everything. Planes like this would be excellent for low intensity and COIN warfare.
Good indeed, not only overall but also the price is very interesting. Polish Air Force sign the contract for 8 by now in Advanced Jet Trainer program with option of 4 more. If you by 8 planes with full tech, logistic and training package for 280 million Euro it is a good deal.
Hi everybody, i follow this blog from time to time but i never posted a comment before. Guys, it's evident that is not a Yak130 but its Macchi offspring... no noe noticed the italian flag right on the nose of the aircraft?
Its the Euro Yak Alenia M346 Master ,note the small winglets at the wing root and lack of air intake ramps and canopy without the explosive cord .
ReplyDeleteWow, awesome pic!
