IRKUTSK, September 28. /TASS/. Russia’s Yak-130M combat training aircraft could potentially be used for carrying loitering munitions, Alexander Guskov, a test pilot at PJSC Yakovlev (part of the United Aircraft Corporation, UAC), said.
"The issue of the aircraft’s capability to carry loitering munitions is currently being considered. That is, to deliver them quickly to a specific target location. The munitions then continue along their own trajectory to fulfill their mission. We believe its's a promising trend," said the pilot.
