From the Yakovlev website I plugged this photo.

Some quote:
Yak-48 family aircraft are intended for transportation from 30 up to 50 passengers at the distances 4700 – 2500 km correspondingly.
The basic power plant consists of two AI-22-2 engines with 3800 kg thrust each. A number of other foreign and Russian engines could be installed optionally.
The aircraft are supposed to be equipped with Russian radio equipment and avionics.
The western type avionics can be installed optionally
The aircraft design and operational perfection provide life time equal to 60 000 flight hours at 10 – 12 flight hours per day schedule.
Is this program still active or has it been cancelled? Anyone know how far advanced this plane is and/or when the plane should make its maden-flight?

Ye… Can the ERJ operate on unpaved runways? Are there so much unprepared runways in Russia that they make special versions for it?

Looks like a carbon copy of the ERJ.
