Nice!

[Bee8190 10]

Looking good!

The last img reminds me of F16 ( which is a good thing ). Now only if they came with afterburner too, that would be something. ( ok and cluster bombs ;) )

[papanowel 120]

Looks like the Yak 130.

[purepassion 22]

Could that be based on a Yak-130? :)

Also, here's another shot of the splendid new Zubr and here's one of the new BluFor pistol. These pictures are from caiden and zannaza from the arma3life mod.

Aaah, c'est la vie

[gliptal 25]

Cockpit is different.

Yak-130 / M346 are great planes though, happy for this choice.

Yay!

[blu3sman 11]

Looks like "generic trainer/attack jet". Not Yak-130.

[Bee8190 10]

yak 30 it is, good heads up. Liking it is a two seater as well :)

Guess you mean yak 130, unless you mean this airplane :p

For what it's worth it turns out that the Russian Air Force actually turned down the Yak-131 (a dedicated attack variant of the Yak-130) in favor of the Su-25SM upgrade, but apparently Irkut is moving ahead anyway with developing an attack variant anyway (not sure if it's separate from or just continuing to develop the Yak-131).

? I don't see that?

[gliptal 25]

On the good side of things, AM is seriously thinking about a CAS variant of the M346. Remember M346 and Yak-130 are basically the same plane.

I'm afraid we're going off topic here though.

Yay!

[NeuroFunker 11]

looks like f-16 to me, not yak. :(

[gliptal 25]

Sort of a blend: it even has some F18 elements.

Yay!

[Smurf 12]

GTA5 one is a better mix of F16, 18 and 35:

The back.

Both looks nice.

[Hartmann 10]

Really? This is the best CAS aircraft you can come up with? That greenfor has to fly around in a small converted trainer I can understand, but your basically going to give the same fly of an aircraft to CSAT?

What, SU25 or 34 too mainstream?

[chortles 263]

What, SU25 or 34 too mainstream?

... pretty much? I mean, Maruk's public reasoning for the release of the Arma 2 model sources ("upgrading the Arma 2 massive content library to Arma 3 standards is beyond what we can do in reasonable time") basically ruled out both of them. :p

That, and as I brought up in the CAS speculation thread, converted trainers and turboprops are more the trend these days than "A-10/Su-25 style" (even if the US and Russian Air Forces keep relying on those two -- you know, minus the Air Force trying to get rid of the A-10).

Converted trainer != bad CAS aircraft.

Su25 is already old now, let alone in 2035. Su34 is not a CAS plane, it's a Strike plane.

Yay!

[progamer 14]

So is it a fictional aircraft? Or is it a real aircraft like I would like?

[chortles 263]

Seeing as it's a "concept render", without an official version or at least a clearer (read: sharper) image we really can't tell.

[purepassion 22]

Well... You don't see the problem with that?

Either way, the exact model and capabilities of this aircraft are yet to be identified, so please don't jump to conclusions. :)

look like the T-50 Golden Eagle

[roberthammer 582]

Nice CAS and ye it does look more like T-50 Golden Eagle

its actually a mix of FA-50 and YAK-130

If it's a FA-50/Yak-130 hybrid aesthetically that's one thing, but you pulling the T-50/FA-50 angle into it makes me curious about just what this CSAT jet will be able to do in air-to-air, considering that at last check there's a single Buzzard that just has two different weapon loadouts...

Later they might add a AA variant of the Buzzard - btw loadout of the YAK-130 > http://www.redstar.gr/Foto_red/Aircraft/Yak_130/Yak_130_Arma1.jpg
