uditt lamba Funny part is that it did better than the Yakolev Yak-36.. The Yak was canceled a long time ago and is known as the ugliest and worst jet aircraft to ever have gotten off the ground.

uditt lamba Those are two aircrafts that competed with other aircrafts of the same type before being settled which one was the better. The Russians however never got any effective VTOL (Vertical Take-Off and Landing) jet and instead are still to this day relying on helicopters, which are obviously much slower than a jet plane. But if you insist on being childish.. Yak-38, Yak-141, which neither could fly more than around 100 kilometers before having to refuel. As well as their problems with dust getting into the engine, causing engine failure and horrible crashes, despite trying to directly copy the much more successful British Harrier VTOL.

uditt lamba VTOLs were all the hype when people realized that it could become a cheap alternative to huge, slow, vulnerable, expensive hangar ships. Which even then also limited how close a refueling station could come to the fight, as a VTOL, much like a helicopter, can land pretty much everywhere. FYI, USA fields the British Harrier. Just like how other NATO countries would buy various crafts from one another. It would be ridiculous if every country had to make their own kinds of weapons and vehicles.
