The Yakovlev VVP-6 was a concept design for a heavy, six rotor helicopter from the Soviet Union in the 1960's.

Its primary role would have been a mobile SAM site, able to rapidly deploy six surface to air missiles into the russian wilderness. This wasn't the only planned design, however. These would deploy in a formation of no less than 4, each filling a role similar to a carrier group. This models the mobile SAM site, with six missiles.

Another VVP-6 would be a flying radar site, with an AWACS dish and a further 2 SAMs.

A third would be a mobile command center, and the fourth would be an airborn carrier.

However, the technology of the 60's would not allow such a mechanically complex vehicle to function, and most of the documents for this flying fortress were lost to time.
