Design and development

The Russian design bureau KB SAT{{cite web |url=http://kb-sat.ru/ |title=Home |website=kb-sat.ru}} (Sovremyenne Aviatsyonne Tekhnologii – Modern Aircraft Technologies) began work on a single-engine jet trainer and sport aircraft, the SR-10, in 2007, displaying a mockup at the MAKS airshow at Zhukovsky in August 2009. The SR-10 is a mid-wing monoplane of all-composite construction, with a wing swept forward at an angle of 10 degrees. The crew of two sit in a tandem cockpit. It is powered by a single turbofan, with an Ivchenko AI-25V AI25TSR (modification of AI25TL) fitted in the prototype, but more modern Russian engines, such as the NPO Saturn AL-55 were proposed for production aircraft.Butowski 2016, p. 15.

The SR-10 was offered to meet a 2014 requirement for a basic trainer for the Russian Air force, but was rejected in favour of the Yakovlev Yak-152, a piston-engined trainer. Despite this setback, KB SAT continued to develop the SR-10, proposing it as an intermediate trainer between the Yak-152 and the Yak-130 advanced jet trainer and for export. The first prototype SR-10 made its maiden flight on 25 December 2015.

In July 2017, KB SAT announced that it had developed an unmanned variant of the aircraft named the AR-10 Argument.{{cite web|title=Russia Develops UAV Based on SR-10 Trainer|url=http://www.uasvision.com/2017/08/01/russia-develops-uav-based-on-sr-10-trainer/|website=UAS Vision|access-date=1 August 2017|archive-url=https://archive.today/20170801171837/http://www.uasvision.com/2017/08/01/russia-develops-uav-based-on-sr-10-trainer/|archive-date=1 August 2017|date=1 August 2017|url-status=dead}}{{cite web|last1=Novinchkov|first1=Nikolai|title=SAT develops SR-10-based UAV concept|url=http://www.janes.com/article/72627/|website=IHS Jane's 360|access-date=1 August 2017|archive-url=https://archive.today/20170801171623/http://www.janes.com/article/72627/sat-develops-sr-10-based-uav-concept|archive-date=1 August 2017|date=26 July 2017|url-status=dead}}

In September 2018, according to media reports, the Russian government failed to allocate funds to start production of SR-10 for the Russian Air Force and as a result KB SAT suspended all work on the project.{{cite web|title=Source: Works on New Training Airplane SR-10 Suspended|url=http://mil.today/2018/23149/|website=MIL.TODAY|access-date=25 November 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180916151026/http://mil.today/2018/23149/|archive-date=16 September 2018|date=14 September 2018|url-status=live}}

On September 19, 2020, SR-10 took part in the "Russian Aviation Race", held at the Oreshkovo airfield (Kaluga oblast){{Cite news|date=21 September 2020|title=Jet aircraft race was held near Kaluga (In Russian)|work=Inter Right|url=https://inright.ru/news/world/20200921/id_18267/}}
