It was another dartlike machine, with a rear-mounted delta wing, forward-mounted canards, and a KR-17A turbojet engine mounted above the tail. It could carry a range of payloads, including film cameras, infrared imagers, EO imagers, and imaging radar. The Tu-141 was in Soviet service from the late 1970s to the early 1980s, and was provided to Soviet allies after that.
