I really like the Yak-130. I see this aircraft becoming the next A-4 Skyhawk of its day

the most interesting thing about the video is it says its length is a mere 17.3 meters and it has a radar cross section of 0.3 meters and a max speed of 3000 km/h

MAKS 2015: Irkut showcases Yak-130 strike upgrades

Irkut Corporation demonstrated for the first time at the MAKS 2015 air show its Yak-130 'Mitten' trainer/strike aircraft fitted with a nose-mounted laser rangefinder.
An Irkut representative stated that "the laser rangefinder enables using the Yak-130 over a very irregular terrain [mountains, ravines], improves the accuracy of target co-ordinate determination and that of the existing range of weapons".
The laser rangefinder has been fitted onto the Yak-130 in compliance with a foreign customer's requirements to improve the aircraft's strike capabilities.
"By now the upgraded Yak-130 has undergone aerodynamic trials and the new laser rangefinder has been tested for range and aiming precision," a Russian defence industry source told IHS Jane's . The source confirmed that weapons tests will also be conducted on the upgraded Yak-130.
The upgraded Yak-130 is also fitted with the Talisman electronic warfare suite developed by Belarussian company Defence Initiatives. However, the suite has not yet been tested on the Yak-130.
At the MAKS-2015 air show, Irkut Corporation also formally signed a previously revealed contract to supply a second batch of four Yak-130s to Belarus. The aircraft will be delivered in 2016.
