China’s Hongdu JL-10: A Closer Look at the Next-Gen Trainer

For decades, the global market for advanced jet trainers has been dominated by three aircraft families: Northrop T-38 Talon, BAE Systems Hawk, and Aero Vodochody L-39. However, with the 2020s unfolding, a new generation of advanced jet trainers is gaining momentum. The US Air Force shifts to the Boeing T-7, the Russian Air Force adopts the Yakovlev Yak-130, and the US Navy and Royal Air Force plan to replace the Hawk by 2030. Amidst this transition, the Chinese Hongdu JL-10 emerges as a significant player in this evolving arena. In this video, we’re taking a closer look at the Hongdu JL-10 and the implications this aircraft holds for the global supersonic jet trainer market. ➢ Subscribe: @defencecentral ➢ Check out our latest video featuring the top four submachine guns: FAIR-USE COPYRIGHT DISCLAIMER Copyright Disclaimer under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for “fair use“ for purposes such as criticism, commenting, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research.
