The Yakovlev Yak-26, NATO reporting name Flashlight-B and bureau designation Yak-123, was a Soviet tactical supersonic bomber shown at the Tushino air show on 24 June 1956. It was developed from the subsonic Yak-25 in parallel with the Yak-27 family, with a longer streamlined fuselage, a glazed nose for a navigator-bombardier, RD-9AK and later RD-9F afterburning turbojets and an internal bay for 1,000 kg of bombs including the RDS-4 nuclear weapon. It had no radar and suffered stability problems and aileron reversal at speed. Only ten were built, and it did not enter service.
