The Yakovlev UT-2 (Russian: Яковлев УТ-2; NATO reporting name "Mink") is a single-engine tandem two-seat low-wing monoplane that was the standard Soviet trainer during World War II.

The AIR-10 won the competition in 1935 and, after minor changes, was accepted as the standard Soviet Air Force trainer.

With the disgrace of Alexey Ivanovich Rykov under whom Yakovlev had been working, the initials AIR were replaced with Ya making what would have been the AIR-20 the Ya-20 (Я-20).

The Soviet VVS (Air Force) assigned the aircraft the designation UT-2 (uchebno-trenirovochnyi {учебно-тренировочный}, trainer).

The UT-2 model 1940 featured a lengthened forward fuselage, and a change to the 93 kW (125 hp) M-11D radial to attempt to rectify the problem.
