It’s not. It’s just Yak-130 on which they tried to put SOLT. “Yak-131” was canceled, never went out from proposal state and never gonna replace Su-25.

Yeah I was assuming that but wasn’t sure if they made a prototype or not

Any idea what I should call it? since I already have a pic of Yak-130M1 on there… soooo idrk

You can just call it Yak-130. You can add #130 as this certain Yak-130 bort number. This plane is used by bureau for tests and exhibitions.

ah Ight

According to Wikipedia it is Yak131 but yes it failed to replace su25

I have a semi-old book about Yak-130 at home, I’ll give it a look over to see if it has anything about it when I get home

Would the Su-39s Khod pod count

Eh as there’s no plans on it being added for Su-39 (unfortunately), I’d say no

Wonder if they’ll reconsider now that the Su-25SM3 is moving up to 12.7.

They probably won’t, but still.

Currently Su-25SM3 equipped SOLT-25 Laser Designator pod ?

Now if 12.7 BR for ground RB, You guess gajin increase lock-range Kh-38ML & Kh-38MT to 35 km in next major update ?

idk about that

Su-25SM3 uses SOLT-25 yes

I remember looking at a photo before, and I can’t remember exactly whether the plane inside is a SU25t, SU39, or SU25sm. But I remember it has a pod near the mounting point of the fuselage. Do anyone have any relevant information?

Was it one of these?

thanks,the third one

Ah

That’s a prototype FLIR called Khod, A 1st Gen Thermal pod

I’m not too sure on the specs but I do know it wasn’t particularly liked during its testing, hence why it was cancelled.
