Description: Type: Yakolev Yak-28P - Long Range Fighter
Registration:
Serial:
A dedicated long-range interceptor version, the Yak-28P was developed from 1960. It omitted the internal weapons bay in favor of additional fuselage tanks (its fuel capacity was considerable, limited by weight rather than volume), and added a new 'Oriol-D' interception radar compatible with the R-98 (AA-3 'Anab') air-to-air missile. Late production "upgraded" Yak-28Ps had a longer radome of pure conical shape and enhanced armament. |
