The reconnaissance plane Yak-27R was built in 1958 on the basis of the experimental aircraft Yak-122. For increasing the field of view from the cabin the fuselage nose cone was glazed completely. The aircraft was given an improved wing, on which only inner wing fences were left. The wingspan increased due to use of outrigger wingtip behind the wing fillets. The power plant of serial Yak-27R included two RD-9F and the range ability reached 1770 km at an altitude of 10000 meters. The use of suspended fuel tanks allowed to increase the range ability up to 2380 km. In total, 180 aircrafts Yak-27R were built. In NATO classification this plane was given the name 'Mangrove'.
