Yak-141, a prototype VTOL fighter developed in the late 80s. with an afterburning engine and armament such as the R-27, it was to replace the Yak-38 and bring full fighter capability to Soviet light carriers. four aircraft were built but the collapse of the USSR ended the program.

For all we know Putin might still be toying with this idea in hopes of turning things around in Ukraine.
