The Yakovlev UT-2, NATO reporting name Mink, was a single-engine tandem two-seat low-wing monoplane and the standard Soviet trainer of the Second World War. Designed by the team of Alexander Sergeevich Yakovlev as the AIR-10 and based on the AIR-9, it first flew on 11 July 1935 and replaced the older U-2 biplane in the training role. It was simplified to an all-wood structure, with Shvetsov M-11 radial engines, and serial production began in September 1937. It was not easy to fly and spun readily, so the UT-2M of 1941 and later versions tried to improve its handling.
