Those inlet pods look weird. Very much something "bolted onto the outside of the airframe" and not integrated into the shape.

A similar arrangement to the Temco TT-1 . . .

I can’t unsee it now, no doubt soon we’ll see a “super pinto” light attack version. It certainly does seem smart to standardize the jet engines on combat aircraft trainers, and if they can get the Yak-152 into production with a domestic engine, their light trainer fleet will be relatively modern and domestic. Well, as much as a project based on a design jointly developed with China, a design loosely based off a 90s prototype, and a project jointly developed with Italy can be. Still better than the Iranian jet trainer program though, and really flexing on your allys is the glue of diplomatic relations

The HAL HJT-36 Sitara has similar intakes and as well as early design studies of the Hawk trainer.
