Yak-28P Firebar, 1960
	An obvious offspring of the Yak-25/-27 breed, the Yak-28 vast family introduced in 1958 had a completely new design. The "P" is the all-weather interceptor fighter version, of which there were 443 produced in 1962-67 at Novosibirsk plant. Intended for low- and medium- altitude operations, it was equipped with an "Orel-D" radar in the radome and capable of carrying 800 kg of rockets on 4 hardpoints. Another notable feature is its twin wheel gear. The remotorized "PM" modification has established a speed record of 2400 km/h in 1963.
