Den Yak-25 Lommelykt var et langtrekkende avskjærings- og rekognoseringsfly utviklet av Yakovlev tidlig på 1950-tallet. Den ble designet for å beskytte de nordlige og østlige grensene til Sovjetunionen mot potensielle inntrengere. Flyet hadde en feid vinge, en korsformet hale og to Mikulin AM-5 turbojetfly montert under vingene. Yak-25 lommelykten hadde en to-seters cockpit med en radaroperatør bak piloten.
The aircraft was equipped with a RP-6 Sokol radar in its nose, which could detect bombers and fighters at distances of 25 km and 16 km respectively. The Yak-25 Flashlight was armed with two 37 mm NL-37 L cannons and two unguided rockets under the wings. The aircraft had a maximum speed of 1,090 km/h and a range of 2,700 km with a drop tank. The Yak-25 Flashlight entered service in 1955 and was retired in 1967. It was replaced by more advanced interceptors such as the Yak-28 Firebar and the MiG-21 Fishbed.
