Looks more like a bamboo aircraft used by the Japanese during World War II.

These are cheap Nangchan CJ6 trainers from China. It is a shame that while the politicians and armed forces heads travel around in BMWs the air force has to train pilots in cheap chinese trainer aircraft.
What more can you expect from a beggered and buggered country.

Ideally training should be done in a flight simulator before the trainee and instructor actually use a real aircraft to test there knowledge and skills.
This would save lives and prevent accidents like this happening in the medium to long term.
