Bangladesh is receiving 24 Yak-130 Advanced Jet Trainer by 2015-said by Rosoboronexport. Bangladesh signed a deal of $1.5 Billion with Russia which includes 24 Advanced Jet Trainer.Russia asked $23 Million per Yak-130 Aircraft but reduced to $15 Million after Bangladesh's request.
Bangladesh also opted out of its initial plans to purchase eight
advanced Mig-29SMT fighter jets because of their $500 million price tag. The price of 24 Yak-130 is $360 Million.
Yak-130 also has nine hard points: two wingtip, six under-wing and one beneath the centre fuselage. It can carry a wide range of modern weapons and other stores, including external wing combat fuel tanks, bombs weighing up to 500kg (1,100lb), TV homing/cockpit-displayed guided bombs, rockets, a twin 23mm gun pod, R-73 infrared-homing air-to-air missiles, and electronic countermeasures pods and chaff and flare dispensers, up to a maximum combat load of 3,000kg.
The type also has a head-up display (HUD) and a helmet-mounted sighting
system (HMSS) with a double GPS/GLONASS receiver updating a laser ring
gyro inertial navigation system for highly accurate navigation and
precision targeting. This transforms its capability into a highly potent
light ground attack/fighter.
The Yak-130 - the Russian air force's advanced flight and tactical combat trainer - prepares student pilots to fly and fight in the latest frontline fighter and fighter/bomber types, including the RSK MiG-29/35 and Sukhoi's Su-27/30/34/35 series and, in the future, the PAK-FA T-50.
AAM: R-73

enrollment of YAK-130 advanced trainer aircraft in Bangladesh Air Force is the sign of development. although YAK-130 aircraft is trainer aircraft but some arms can be equipped with it and be used as light fighter. in near future we will see sukhai su37 aircraft in bd airforce :)
