If you start grinding now from 0 to get the Yak-141 you will need to play for 3 years daily for 8 hours and sell your soul to the snail

Imagine all of the crazy aircraft the USSR could have kept creating if it didn’t fall apart.

I knew this was gonna be sponsored by War Thunder

Yak-141 was the first one of a new Soviet aircraft generation, which never came to production due to USSR dissolution. Su-27M, MiG 1.42, MiG LFI, MiG 70, Su-47, Su-37 (fighter-bomber), you name it. It always feels bad when you recall it.

A small wholesome fact about the person, Yakovlev. He was a best friend to Sydney Camm, the man behind the Harrier program. Sydney met Yakovlev at Farnborough Air Show and he even allowed Yakovlev to enter the Harrier's cockpit. Yakovlev determined & promised to him to make a plane that could equal Camm's Harrier. But sadly 1 day before the Yak-38 & Yak-141 unveiled, his friend, Sydney, passed away. Yak-141 & Yak-38 is actually a love letter to Camm & Hawker Siddeley's Harrier.

Love the plane those boxy intakes make it look like a baby mig-31, so cute.

[piker]

Why does he call Yakovlev - Yukolev?! Its YA-KOV-LEV, not YOU-KO-LEV!!! The panes are called Yak for a reason, they are not freaking Yuk-s... ?!

In an alternate timeline, we could have seen the Yakovlev Yak-141 and Hawker Siddeley P.1154 supersonic V/STOL or STOVL fighters flying against each other.

Yak-41, a personal pain for any aviation lover in Russia.
He was the pinnacle of the development of Yakovlev aircraft, and embodied many of the best practices of Soviet aviation in general.
At the same time, this aircraft had a huge potential not only on Aircraft Carriers, but also on land, because it does not need a long GDP.
Alas, his flight was permanently interrupted at the very beginning.
You can see the original prototype at the Aviation Museum in Monino, not far from Moscow.

Вот бы возобновить производство этих самолетов, да и на каждый из строящихся в Керчи УДК проекта 23900 авиагруппу в 16-20 таких самолетов, в дополнение к вертолетам!

[mattchiang]

Also missed mentioning the unique nozzles on the tail. The yak, NATO reporting name 'Freestyle', had yaw valves to aid the control of the aircraft while hovering. NATO reporting name 'Freestyle'

Yak 141: youre stealth, you're nothing but a cheap copy.
F35: no no, im the upgrade

[albertsunaga]

Reminds me of some info that Elon Musk & SpaceX get their rocket designs from ex Soviet designs. While no hard proof such thing happened, its difficult to deny that at least SpaceX rocket designs were inspired by those ex Soviet designs. Also Musk travelled to Russia couple of times before SpaceX become a real rocket launch & recovery company. The US government & aerospace company also actually know that there are a lot of great ideas & designs from Soviet engineers/scientist, but they just try to down play it as good as possible.

You pronounce "Yak" correctly but then butcher Yakolev, how? It's not you-koh-lev....

[AndyKos]

This marvelous soviet engineering technology of the late 70s was stolen from the Soviet Union after its collapse and used in US F-35 design for an aircraft with vertical takeoff.
At the same period of time, the Chinese stole the complete design of Mig-1.14 and created an exact copy of their own J-14 fighter jet. That's how the story goes.

DON'T PLAY WAR-THUNDER IF YOU WANT TO keep your Mental Health (I have at least 4000 hours)

[ritabratagoswami]

Russia already developed its own F-35, 30 years ago. 👍👍

[AgntfChas]

How hard is it to pronounce "Yakolev"?!
