Historical Description:
The Yak-25RV, also known as “Mandrake”, is a specialized long-range reconnaissance aircraft variant developed in the USSR in the late 1950s. It was a deeply modernized design, adapted for flights at very high altitudes. Equipped with long, straight wings and modern avionics, the Yak-25RV was used by Soviet military aviation primarily for strategic reconnaissance during Cold War tensions. These aircraft carried out photographic reconnaissance missions over NATO borders and in polar regions. Production began in the late 1950s, and the Yak-25RV became one of the USSR’s most important tools for long-range observation during this period.
