The Yakovlev Yak-25 & Yak-28 |
 | | Although the Yakovlev OKB would eventually focus on airliners and transports, the organization did make a major contribution to Red air power, in the form of a series of supersonic twinjet combat aircraft, the "Yak-25" through "Yak-28", that were built in good numbers and served in a wide range of roles. |
 | | In the meantime, the Yak OKB was also working on an externally similar reconnaissance variant, the "Yak-122", with a single prototype flown in 1955; and a supersonic interceptor variant, originally designated "Yak-121" but then given the designation of "Yak-27". |
 | | In 1960, the Yak OKB was tasked with the development of a Yak-28 interceptor variant, designated the "Yak-28P". |
