I think the R-27s are IR guided, so it is plausible.Came across this in Jane's Intelligence Review in a 1991 volume, a two-seat Yak 41 from an article on the Yak 38 and 41 based on a visit to the OKB and discussions about trying to get sales to keep the programme alive.
I presume this drawing was done from an official plan the artist saw, I'd say its Grade 2 quality (though details like the AAMs without room for nose radar rankle slightly).
Personally, I'm not shocked, because these are R-27Ts, the infrared-guided variant of the Alamo, and R-3S/K-13M "Atoll", which does not require radar guidance.Though details like the AAMs without room for nose radar rankle slightly.
Thanks, I'll try to find some more.That's a great find F.L., i was just thinking i don't recall seeing a MiG-29UB with R-27Ts, but lo and behold!
This is the MiG-29UB of the Nizhny Novgorod aviation plant "Sokol". They call it the "Shuttle" there. Now this plane has been replaced by another oneMiG-29UB with R-27T :
Great find !!! This is the first time the existence of a Yak-41UT has been unveiled, if I'm not mistaken ?Volunteers of the Air Force Museum in Monino, Russia, are refurbishing the front section of a wooden model (mock-up).
It seems to be the trainer project Yakovlev Yak-41UT.

Until then, the other drawings were Western suppositions.
