It was not YAK-130's fault -Airforce - Behind The Recent BAF YAK-130 Fatal Crash: Some Observations . Pilots initiated a risky maneuver during an aerobatic show, but it went wrong. BAF has to come up with the truth instead of blaming the YAK-130.

These are the list of crashes for the type (Those of BAF in bold). I don't know if this is typical for advanced jet trainer category. Of course investigation by BAF and manufacturer YAK is not complete - they have to recover the black box and then analyze the system-fault data.

If you read the official version, they never mentioned that this one was during an aerobatic show and very close to the runway while doing a fancy and risky maneuver ( like how each time Sakibal gets out). Did you read my report by the way here Article - Behind The Recent Russian Made BAF YAK-130 Fatal Crash: Some Observations ? I have talked to senior BAF officers, too.
