Yakovlev Yak-45

Military Aircraft

The Yakovlev Yak-45 was the designation for a planned fighter that was replaced by the Mikoyan MiG-29. The Yakovlev bureau submitted its designs under this number in the early 1970s, and the proposal was rejected in favour of the MiG-29. Construction of a Yak-45 was resumed in the late 1970s, but the aircraft was not developed further because of its VTOL operation. It is an unbuilt fighter project in the line of Yakovlev designs, and the sources record few technical details beyond its competition with the MiG-29 and its comparison with the Saab Viggen.
