This photo shows an Israeli pilot standing in front of an aircraft that I can't identify as being an IAF aircraft. Any ideas?

If someone could repaint the YAK-130 / M-346 that would be great :)

I don't know the exact difference between the Mitten and the Master but I bet that Milan does and he may even have plans in that area. Unless of course you can't wait :D .

That was my first thought ! Besides the a/c is out of focus.

Leave it to the Israelis to strategically place her to cover up her name tag.
