Yakovlev was the most underrated Soviet Design Bureau
>Yakovlev was the most retarded Soviet Design Bureaufixed
>>65039082Brown
>>65039082>most underrated Soviet Design Bureauthat would be the Alekseyev Central Hydrofoil Design Bureau. named after its chief designer Rostislav Evgenievich Alexeyev. the man who gave us the Ekranoplans and was so based he got killed in an accident testing his own designs even though he was explicitly forbidden to do so.
I thought Yaks were fucking awesome in Red Alert as they strafe down infantry, MiG's were boring
>>65039082You're so brown your posts are shit colored
>>65039082They make really nice trainers these days.There's a YAK-130 light attack modification that's intended to replace the SU25, but I doubt it'll actually be a real thing and the Su25 will be retired in favor of drones instead.
>>65039082Yakovlev never got convicted of wrong think and had to suck dicks in a soviet gulag in between designing wing geometry and daily beating!
>>65039082Did the picture go through an AI-filter? Why does it look so weird?
>>65039110Most smartphones do filters when you make a photo, it's not noticeable when you look at it zoomed out, but once you try to look at 1:1 scale everything looks fucky-wacky.
>>65039102The yak-130 was possible only thanks to Italy. They did 90% of the engineering work and also financed around 70% of the project until the dissolution.
The only proper vtol guys outside of the UK.
>>65039082Was the Projekt 201, a trijet?
>>65039110Looks like it went through a dogshit upscaler.
>>65039229LOL That thing was a deathtrap with about 10 minutes of useful mission flight capacity. With hindsight, you can see with that piece of shit how far their engineering of taken German tech started to show. Complete design theft didn't produce anywhere near the same results.
>>65039656America bought the plans to these and decided they didn't like them so we got the F35 instead.They also had the Miles M.52 cancelled so Chuck could be first to go fast.Shall I mention Lockheed.
>>65039682What crawled up your ass? The West leeched of German tech for years too. When both sides ran that tech to its logical obsolescence, the West pulled away. This isn't even an arguable point. And harping on using a single piece of engineering (the nozzle rotation coupler) out an entire aircraft design is reaching, sport. Miles was cancelled because you poorfags ran out of money. Bell was happy to give that team credit for their contributions to X-1, but butthurt poorfags like you want to claim the whole fucking thing. Sit down, dimwit. Nobody came at you.
>>65040028>the nozzle rotation couplerWhich was in itself "lifted" from the Convair Model 200 three bearing swivel nozzle
>>65040028Take your meds
>>65039085What's with jeets and their obsession with things being underrated
How did yak go from being the premier fighter plane manufacturer is the ussr to completely irrelevant in the jet age
>>65045103their dick
>>65039082The gentle lines on that right one. So nice.
