After a long period of silence, the UAE Air Force finally decided to purchase the L15 Falcon advanced trainer from China. This is the first time that China's Falcon advanced trainer has been exported to the Middle East. It is reported that the procurement contract for the L15 Falcon advanced trainer is not signed separately, but is signed with other exported weapons and equipment.

L15 "Falcon" advanced trainer

The UAE Air Force procurement is the L15AW advanced trainer. It is a new version of the advanced trainer that upgrades the aerodynamic layout and avionics equipment based on the original L15 basic model. It is more suitable for simulating the current international mainstream fighters. The state of the angle of attack flight.

However, unlike many people expected, the L15AW advanced trainer imported by the UAE Air Force is not intended to train fighter pilots in the UAE Air Force, but to replace the Emirates Air Force "Knight" flight show team equipped with Italy. MB339A advanced trainer.

At present, in addition to the direct use of fighters as performance machines in some countries, the air show teams in most countries use the trainer aircraft for aerial flight performances.

Because it is a junior trainer, an intermediate trainer or a senior trainer, its low-altitude flight performance is very good. Not only is the turning control more reliable, but the flight speed is generally slower, which is more conducive to the ground audience to see the effect of the flight show.

Trainer flight show is more enjoyable

The L15AW advanced trainer is able to obtain orders from the UAE Air Force and is estimated to have a lot to do with its improved flight performance at high angles of attack. The L15AW advanced trainer is equipped with two AI-222K-25F turbofan engines, which not only have good subsonic flight performance, but also have good transonic flight capability. Plus its 10,000 hours of service life, it is a good fit for an air show.

In addition, the L15AW advanced trainer's offer is not expensive, only the level of 11 million US dollars. The UAE Air Force "Knight" flight show team is a 7-machine flight show team. If all the L15AW advanced trainer aircraft are used, the purchase cost is only $77 million. It is not enough for a high-end version of the US heavy-duty fighter.

L15 advanced trainer equipped by Zambian Air Force

In addition to the UAE Air Force, the Zambian Air Force has also imported L15 advanced trainers from China. This is because the L15 advanced trainer can also mount the 霹雳-5E empty space bomb, the eagle strike -9E air-to-ground missile, the Tianlong-10 air-to-surface missile, the Lei Shi-6 gliding guided bomb and other ground attack weapons, the Chinese Air Force. Even used L15 and Russian Su-25 attack aircraft to test the ground attack ability.

Of course, the use of advanced trainers to perform ground attack missions is not for the UAE Air Force, but now the UAE Air Force has a large number of fourth-generation fighters, such as the US F-16E/F fighters and the French "Gust" fighters. These fighters need a good senior trainer to train qualified pilots.

If the L15 advanced trainer can use this order as an opportunity to cut into the Middle East market, then the market for European and American fighters to dominate the Middle East will be changed. For the export of Chinese military aircraft, it will be a big step forward.
1100万1架,寿命10000小时,阿联酋购中国L15AW“猎鹰”高教机!
原创 军武杂谈 2019-05-29 07:50:00
在经过长期的沉默之后,近期阿联酋空军终于确定向中国采购L15“猎鹰”高级教练机,这也是中国的“猎鹰”高级教练机首次出口中东国家。据悉,此次L15“猎鹰”高级教练机的采购合同并非单独签署的,而是和其他出口的武器装备一同签署出口的。

此次阿联酋空军采购是L15AW高级教练机,是中国在原本的L15基本型的基础上,对气动布局、航电设备进行升级后的新版本高级教练机,更加适合模拟目前国际上主流的战斗机大迎角飞行情况下的状态。

不过和许多人预想的不同,此次阿联酋空军进口的这批L15AW高级教练机,并不是为了对阿联酋空军中的战斗机飞行员进行培训的,而是为了替换阿联酋空军“骑士“飞行表演队装备的意大利MB339A高级教练机。

意大利MB339A高级教练机

目前世界上除了部分国家的空军飞行表演队直接采用战斗机作为表演机之外,大部分国家的飞行表演队都会采用教练机来进行空中飞行表演。

因为无论是初级教练机、中级教练机还是高级教练机,其低空飞行性能都非常不错,不仅转弯控制等更加可靠,而且飞行速度一般较慢,更有利于地面的观众观赏到飞行表演的效果。

教练机飞行表演观赏性更好

此次L15AW高级教练机能够获得阿联酋空军的订单,估计与其大迎角飞行性能改善有很大的关系。L15AW高级教练机装备了两台AI-222K-25F涡扇发动机,不仅拥有良好的亚音速飞行性能,跨音速飞行能力也相当不错。加上其10000小时的使用寿命,用来进行飞行表演再合适不过了。

3362f9f6-2cce-4e7f-b82a-e0b4eb875267

L15的使用寿命达10000小时

此外,L15AW高级教练机的报价也不贵,只有1100万美金的水平。阿联酋空军“骑士”飞行表演队是一支7机飞行表演队,如果全部采用L15AW高级教练机,所花费的采购费用也才7700万美金,还不够一架高配版的美制重型战斗机的价钱。

赞比亚空军装备的L15高级教练机

除了此次的阿联酋空军之外,赞比亚空军也曾从中国进口L15高级教练机。这是因为L15高级教练机还能够挂载霹雳-5E空空格斗弹、鹰击-9E空对地导弹、天龙-10空对地导弹、雷石-6滑翔制导炸弹等对地攻击武器,中国空军甚至曾使用L15和俄罗斯的苏-25攻击机比试对地攻击能力。

e6999821fcad485584c20e17616250dd

L15高教机的对地攻击能力不错

当然,用高级教练机去执行对地攻击任务对于阿联酋空军还不至于,但是现在阿联酋空军拥有大量的第四代战斗机,如美制的F-16E/F战斗机和法制的“阵风”战斗机,如何为这些战斗机培养合格的飞行员就需要一款优秀的高级教练机了。

如果L15高级教练机能够以此次的订单作为机会切入中东市场,那么欧美战机独霸中东战机的市场将会得到改变。对于中国军机对外出口来说,又将是一大进步。

Will BVRAAM version ever be made? I always wanted to see a Yak-130 or L-15 with a AESA radar and long range weaponry.
 
That would be no more trainer but combat fighter such as JF-17/FC-1.
Its almost 1/3 lighter and 10 feet shorter. I could see the aircraft as a trainer that can be integrated with an AESA and BVRAAMs at will. Does China have an F-5 light type light aircraft in service right now?

Vixen 500 is integerateable with M346 and YAK .. .Maybe it can also go with L15 as well
