Yakovlev Yak-41

The Yakovlev Yak-141 Freestyle is a generation 4.5 STOVL aircraft in the Indian and Russian armed forces. Originally, it didn't enter service in the 1990s because of financial troubles of the collapse of the Soviet Union. In the early 2010s, work was restarted on the Yak-141 in cooperation with the Indian government. The Freestyle is used aboard the Vikramaditya and the Admiral Kuznetov as well as the Russian and Indian Air Forces.
