Yakovlev Yak-35

The Yakovlev Yak-35MV was a low-altitude tactical fighter / interceptor project of the Soviet Union from the late 1950s, which suffered from a lack of funding, in the wake of the expected total reliance on guided missiles in the near future. In addition to financial problems, the engines were found to be under-developed and the project failed to progress further than the drawing board.

Design and development
The initial design was for a single-engined low-altitude interceptor for interceptions between 200 and 10000 m.This was refined to a twin-engined tactical fighter-bomber with a take-off weight of 15000 kg, carrying a weapon load of 2000 kg.
