The Yakovlev VVP-6 was an experimental design for a giant flying support and surface-to-air missile platform able to take off and land vertically. Described as perhaps the most radical design to come from the Yakovlev studio, it was to be a huge box-like craft 49 metres long that could carry food, fuel and munitions, or a complete SAM system with six SA-2 missiles on its upper surface. Six six-blade rotors, each driven by four turboshaft engines, would have given it 24 engines in all. The need for it ended when the Soviet Air Force did not put land-based VTOL jets into service, and it never went beyond the model stage.
