Unveiling a Revolution in the Sky: The Tale of the Yak-36

[@Sacto1654]

It was still a monumental achievement considering the *ENORMOUS* difficulties Hawker and Rolls-Royce experienced developing the Pegasus engine and the P.1127 Kestrel airframe around the engine. Even more so considering the technology of the Tumanski engine was less advanced than the Rolls-Royce engine.

Not to mention F35sky

The first failure in a series of three failures! Yak 36, yak 38 and yak 141! Soviet era expensive disasters!

Highly-flawed, subsonic prototype that never stood a chance at mass production...

[@Sacto1654]

It was more a technology demonstrator than anything else. The fact it actually worked had to surprise a lot of Western observers considering the many issues Rolls-Royce had to overcome to get the Pegasus engine to work with the P.1127 Kestrel prototype.

Theft.

[@abominabelle]

Pretty similar set up to Harrier. Who was first?

[@davidjames1063]

Equally as effective as F35 today. As in NOT VERY !😊
