On serious note I agree, not adding stuff anymore is just not a solution.
Of course, USSR is a cool nation that deserves the cool vehicles they operate(d) irl just like others nations, bro probably just had a bad time against soviet tech and never recovered from it
Or he ate too much of that russian bias narrative that is everywhere in the wt community

Mighty Lavi, as they refer to the Aermacchi M-346 Master, it’s used for fighter jet pilot training, that’s why its ordnances are very reduced.
I personally think it would fit best as an camouflage dedicated for the Italian M-346 Master in the Italian tech tree when it eventually is added to the game.

+1 in a Jamaica TT. Does it even have a military? I don’t know but I feel this must also have BoneyM song covers all over it as a camo
Jamaica tech tree is never happening (at best it’d be south america tech tree), but maybe as a cool market camo
No it must be a stand alone tech tree with like 1 vehicle in it.
lol
They don’t even operate a single combat aircraft lol just checked
And never did

Overall having more of these combat-capable trainers would be some very nice diversity, and there’s quite a few others we could get (the Hawk and older ones like the Gnat, for example). We already have some like the Alphajet so there’s no reason we shouldn’t get more

No idea. I am not much RB player.

Does this plane not have flares?
Yes it does have flares as well chaff dispensers, which is installed in the wingtip:
However, the 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.

So trading R-73s (which is linked to hmd)for CMs and RWR?
Trades two extra (pylon 7 and 8) R-73Es for the ECM pods, there are two more R-73Es in the last but one pylons (5 and 6), as in this image below:

Can this jet carry any sort of targeting pods? If so it would be an excellent addition to USSR for CAS because USSR only gets its first proper targeting pod jet in top tier (aka Su-30SM and SM2 as of now). NATO and almost every other nation gets TGPs in Rank 7 while USSR has to wait till top tier.
