It is a carrier-based early warning aircraft (AEW) designed by the Soviet Yakovlev Design Bureau in the late 1970 s. It aims to provide air early warning and command and control capabilities for large aircraft carriers of the Soviet Navy. The design is similar to the American E-2 "Hawkeye", with foldable wings and a large rotating radome. The design takes into account the ability to eject take-off and intercept landings, while also being able to take off from the ski jump deck. However, the project was canceled in 1993 due to funding problems caused by the collapse of the Soviet Union. Although a full-scale model was completed, it never made it to the prototyping stage.
