The V-65 Molotok is a military fighter jet featured in Grand Theft Auto Online as part of the the Smuggler's Run update.
Design
Grand Theft Auto Online
The V-65 Molotok is a Korean War era fighter jet primarily based on the Russian Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-15/MiG-17, with the stabilizer setup of the Korean War era jet, the North American F-86 Sabre. The fact that it can carry rocket pods seems to emulate the MiG-15bis/MiG-17AS, which is the upgraded ground attack version of the MiG-15/MiG-17.
The V-65 Molotok is depicted as a single-seat jet with a two-tone color, where the primary one is applied to the entirety of the aircraft and the secondary one on the intake portion and the wingtips. By default, lacks weapon hardpoints, but will add a pair of these when the drop tanks or the rocket launchers are installed.
Like the RM-10 Bombushka, the the interior features dials with the indicators in Russian, clearly stating its origin.

Performance
Grand Theft Auto Online
The Molotok performs similar to the other jets available in the game, however it is seemingly more agile and has a strong ability to take off in small areas. It also sports a unique air-brake located around the engine bay which expands and retracts under aileron pressure.
Caution should be taken when installing drop tanks, as it will occupy some space during take-offs, though it should barely make contact with the ground when the required speed is achieved.
- The plane is equipped with two machine guns found on the front, which provide small amount of protection against enemies in flight.
- By default, lacks missile launchers, but can be added via customization, adding two launchers on either wing with 15 units each.

Trivia
General
- "Molotok" is a transliterated Russian word "молоток" which means "a hammer".
- According to the designation system of USAF, the "V-" prefix is primarily applied to VTOL aircraft, although this also covers STOL aircraft, which the second one is true with the Molotok's performance as a short-takeoff aircraft.
Grand Theft Auto Online
- The Molotok is incorrectly spelled "Moltok" on the Rockstar Games Social Club.
- Despite featuring a single set of machine guns with the same properties, the right cannon appears to have a larger diameter than the left gun, which is accurate as the MiG-15 and the MiG-17 had a 37mm cannon and twin 23mm cannons.
