MOSCOW (BNS): Russia's new basic trainer aircraft, Yak-152, has successfully completed its maiden flight on September 29, Irkut Corporation, which is manufacturing the jet, has announced.

The maiden flight of the Yak-152 initial training aircraft took place at the airfield of Irkutsk Aviation Plant, the affiliate of Irkut Corporation, the company said.
