Program History
In the early 1990s the Russian air force sought to procure a new advanced jet trainer to replace the Czech Aero Vodochody L-39 Albatros. At the time of the dissolution of the Soviet Union, approximately 1,000 L-39s were in Soviet Air Force service. After the Czech Republic ceased delivering new L-39s and spares, and with the Soviet fleet over a decade into its service life, a replacement would be necessary by the mid-2000s.
