The Yakovlev UT-2 was a single-engine, two-seat, low-wing monoplane that served as the main trainer aircraft for the Soviet Air Force during World War II. It was designed by Alexander Yakovlev and his team at OKB-115 in 1935, based on their previous AIR-10 and AIR-9 models. The UT-2 had a wooden structure and a radial engine, and was capable of reaching a maximum speed of 210 km/h and a ceiling of 3,500 m. The UT-2 was not easy to fly and had a tendency to spin, which led to several modifications and improvements over the years. The most notable variant was the UT-2M, which had a redesigned wing and a larger vertical stabilizer for better stability and handling. The UT-2 was produced in large numbers, with more than 7,000 units built between 1937 and 1946. It was replaced by the Yakovlev Yak-18 and Yak-11 in the 1950s, but some UT-2s continued to be used by civilian organizations and other countries, such as Poland and Hungary.
