I don't think there was another "jump jet" at the time was there until the f35

[@lucas_2612]

Harrier

[@mariomadison7390]

@@lucas_2612 well of course the harrier I'm talking about anyonther jump jet that was around at the time until the arrival of the f35 🙄

[@jerrell1169]

The Soviets had the Yak-38 which they made about 200 of, it operated fairly similarly to the Harrier. I think due to maintenance costs they were all retired after the union fell apart.

[@lucianoriu619]

Is funny when they said argentina invades the island..no England invaded

[@user-db1pn4ky2b]

I think Russians have great jets too why only support American and brits

[@midnightgt46]

as an american i say they look cooler too may not be as advanced but they sure are some damn good jets and damn good pilots in russia. if a su-57 somehow got in visual range of the F-22 if the pilot of the Su-57 pilot shot down an f22 i wouldn't be surprised

[@jerrell1169]

The Smithsonian only makes documentaries on US/NATO aircraft, I don’t know why. But this whole thing is just a compilation of those documentaries.
