Only the SOLT-130K pod on the Yak-130M, more like the SOLT-25 on the Su-25SM3 than a traditional targeting pod
Only rhe modernization variant of the Yak-130 (Yak-130M) can be equipped with a targetting pod, as @somebody_Else mentioned correctly, is the SOLT-130K model, this modernization also includes a BRLS-130R AESA radar that can search up to 100 km.

I still hope for a new Trainer-centered update so that this YAK and my beloved Italian M-346 can be added, kind of like Alpha Strike.
Does it get thermals? Like I mentioned again, USSR has to wait till top tier Su-30SMs to get proper thermals for CAS
Yes it does, since it has some similarty with the Su-25SM3’s SOLT-25, should be the same except it’s a external component:
The SOLT-25 provides 16× zoom and features a laser range finder and target designator, thermal imager, TV channels, and the ability to track moving targets in all weather up to 8 km away.

That’s my dosage of Hopium if Gaijin consider adding new and unique content instead of relying on the copy and pasting.

+1, the Yak-130 and the M-346 to their respective nations, both being quite overdue for implementation.

The targeting pod is called SOLT-130K, SOLT-25 is an internal designator made specifically for Su-25SM3.

I’m still wondering where it could go… Alphajet performance with modern armament.
Could it be, like, 11.3 or 11.7 like the Su-25s?
Would allow filling the rank 7 hole in Yak line I guess

Working on a suggestion for a to the limits on what can be added to WT, we have too many fictional vehicles in-game to still keep applying the same rules from 2017
