History of
The Yak-28P became the dedicated long-range, missile-armed interceptor which could be called upon, in relatively short order, to take on marauding Western bombers or spy planes.
The type was born in 1960 and entered service as soon as 1964.
These versions lacked the internal bomb bay of their tactical bomber brethren which allowed for more onboard fuel stores to be exercised.
An interception radar was standard and fitted in the nose cone assembly while integrated with the aircraft's missile-only payload.
Production resulted in 435 aircraft.
