What Happened to the Soviet Supersonic Jump Jets? 

I like such additional info!

This is a very important information sad you didn’t put in the video.

Thank you for clarifying!!

still one of the best channels on RU-vid. well done.

Differences are to be expected. A rose by any other name is just the same. The F35 owes it's existence to the Yak. Tech evolution is just how it goes. There is no need to run from any historical connection. The Yak failed because of the old no cash syndrome and The F35 is too expensive and under performing as well.

Something like a 'significant emotional event'

@Anguished Jiggle, they could, but why?

@Anguished Jiggle The so-called "Holodomor" was in 1932-1933. According to your logic, it turns out that the United States will not be able to build a normal economy, tk. there in 1929-1934 was the Great Depression. In general, the famine of 1932-1933 was in the Middle Volga region, Ukraine and Belarus and was associated with an unsuccessful collectivization policy, signed contracts for the supply of wheat to foreign buyers and climatic changes (during these years there was a drought). Also, do not forget that the Civil War ended 10 years earlier (in 1922). By the way, the USA, Great Britain, France, Czechoslovakia, Germany, the Ottoman Empire, etc. during the Civil War attacked the Russian Empire and also influenced the destruction of the country and its agriculture. Since the 1950s, there has been no famine in the USSR. The country was able to recover from the Second World War and was able to restore industry and agriculture despite the loss of 20 million population during the war years. A simple example of the rapid growth of the country's economy is that the first Earth satellite was launched in the USSR in 1957, 12 years after the war. In 1945, the entire western part of the country was destroyed in the USSR, but after 12 years a satellite was launched into space. It is not this that surprises me, but the fact that now in Russia the space industry is practically lost, although 12 years ago there was no world war and 30 years have passed since the collapse of the USSR.

The funny thing about it is that nowadays there's a saying for such causes [in post-soviet countries] that all this is "remnants of ancient, more advanced civilization".

@@dkhayitov Britain attempted to support the whites against the reds but couldn't do so without direct intervention which just after ww1 there wasn't support for such a large conflict as another Crimean war scenario. Though provided the USA didn't oppose it, its likely that the British would have won back the country for the royalists or whatever they were called. Napoleon and Hitler fought a United Russia, the British would have been fighting a divided Russia on the side of half the Russians so victory is probable, as Britain was still the leading military power in the world by a considerable margin. Its a shame monty and Patton weren't allowed to continue east into Moscow, as the both wanted to in 45. Never mind.

@@dkhayitov Thanks for taking the time to write this. It is about time we move over from cold war bullshit propaganda and see facts for what they are.

Not exactly, but they provided vital inspiration to the Americans.

@@KatariaGujjar No. It originated from the N-1M, YB-35, and YB-49. The B-2 is slightly longer than the YB-49, but kept the same wing length - as the design worked very well. Jack Northrop was working on a flying wing design before the Horten brothers were building the Ho-229. It was a great design, but, no need to spread ignorant information.

@@larrydeem3071 yeah definitely, its always a problem when the little soldiers eject too soon lol

It wouldn't happen now. Russia was in quite peculiar situation back then.

Well they had but not on projects like this video makes it seem. Yakovlev had a lot of testing data that Lockheed wanted but Lockheed could care less about the projects themselves as they already had their own designs. Pratt & Whitney had already tested that design in 1961 and in 1968 Convair proposed a 3BSD system to the Navy but it was rejected. The reason it was rejected is because Convair said that if the Navy accepted their design then they would have to build metal grates over the water on carriers to let out the hot air of the two front engines. Because descending on a solid deck that would be bouncing the hot air back at the intake of the jet aircraft as it was descending will make it crash. The Navy said that it was too expensive to modify their carriers to accommodate that design and they rejected it. Convair later sold out to Lockheed Martin and so Lockheed ended up with the design but they got around the design flaw of having hot jet engines breathing hot air into the intakes when descending by putting a lift fan in it instead of two hot jet engines. Yakovlev built the first one but Lockheed already knew how to design the platform as they had bought out the company that first proposed it back in 1968. The only similarity that the Yak141 has to the F-35 is that they have a 3BSD engine and that is it. Here is an article with the original charts and proposals of the Convair concept to the Navy from 1968. www.codeonemagazine.com/f35_article.html?item_id=137

a similar thing happen to American Atlas V rockets, that was using ... the russian RD-180 and RD-181 rocket engines ;) There are a lot of resources describing this, including wikipedia and documentaries like this ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TMbl_ofF3AM.html This is currently the best rocket engine and, as there are no alternatives, it will still be used by US will 2028 at least. I believe our beloved Lord Varys is mentioning this in one its clips, but I cannot find it right now.

@@thefreeman8791 The almost unknown ASTOVL and JAST programs have forgotten more about the challenges of STOVL flight than most aerospace engineers will ever know. That's a great article and reference you linked. Thank you for that.

It wasn't a "collaboration", US came in like colonizers and made demands. Yakovlev is only one from scores of Design Bureau that were ordered to surrender their research to US corporations. Boeing got the entire Soviet hypersonic program. It's what happens when liberals corrupt and usurp power to strip the country to the bone.

Agreed. The russian mindset is amazingly industrious and intuitive... But thats part of the culture... The Russians have always had to compete with a hand tied behind their back. Due to a combination of european and asian suspision and dislike of Russia, lack of efficient industrial use of their resources, extreme weather, oppresive governments, etc, Russia has never really had a fair chance to compete... Yet theyve managed to keep pace with the west in technology, military, and society, sometimes even surpassing their western counterparts despite not having the same means, despite having their entire government collapse and be recreated time after time... The Russians should be venerated, respected, and feared... Also it should be noted the first parts of the International Space Station are Russian, and they are also the most vital, as they are the life support and power source, which served as primary, but remains as auxiliary... It should not be taken lightly that NASA and the US(as well as the other agencies involved) have entrusted the success and survivability of the ISS to the Russians.

@@boomznbladez405 Yes, if the Russians are to be commended, it should be for doing a lot with a little. But it should also be recognized that the Russian space industry would absolutely have died on a couple occasions if not for being propped up by the west. At the time Russia was brought into the ISS project in the 90s, it was basically make work for them. The goal was simply to keep their rocket people employed, and away from weapons projects in Iran or Pakistan. With SpaceX having taken most of their commercial space market, and the US about to start launching its own astronauts again, the Russian commercial space industry is again at great risk.

@David David Like what? If we look at the times of the Tzars, you will see a backward country of serves, no industry, no roads, no infrastructure. Russians were able to transform them selves from ox powered, wooden plowing peasants to a space fairing nation in mater of decades. That by itself is a monumental achievement.

Alex Martinovic you underestimate the fact of the huge military bias of Soviet economy. In open an balanced economy people love to work in civil sector, they create great cars, blazingly fast and small computers, good electronics, global businesses, etc, etc. And what was in the USSR?

@@jimtaylor294 I was there to see Soviet economy in action, where were you?

All the Soviet economy lacked was the credit the Americans had. The US is still carrying around the millstone of debt from trying to outspend the Russians. Now they have to hitch a ride on a Russian spacecraft to a Russian space station.

@@Bartonovich52 ...that's so far from the truth that I'm not sure where to even start. For one, the Soviet Union's economy was far smaller than the US, but it spent an absolutely huge amount of its budget on its military. Its economic style was also horribly inefficient, particularly because its central government just couldn't keep up with the sheer number of decisions such a large planned economy required. Corruption was also massively systemic, which made everything worse. Add in how a lot of the Soviet Union was comprised of conquered territories that did NOT want to be part of the Soviet Union and were only kept in through fear and force, and you get a cascade effect where failure builds on failure until it becomes critical.

It wouldn't have been ideal to operate with two engines in high temperatures, though, because you'd still be spending inordinate amounts of fuel for just regular performance.

@@motmontheinternet Oh I agree - I mean the reason they removed the second engine in the first place is for fuel economy. I think we can both agree they should have designed a new and better engine to replace the twin engines setup, instead of just cutting the power in half. (realistically, they probably already overhauled and redesigned the engine, but you get my point, it was apparently insufficient)

It wasn't really just because it would be "overpowered". Two engines is a technical nightmare for VTOL. It's why some doubt the P.1154 could even have been made to work at all if it hadn't been cancelled. The thrust between the left and right engines has to be *perfectly* balanced in order to keep the wings level, and we're talking about 60's and 70's technology here. One engine is just simpler. In the case of VTOL, whilst a single engine does mean the loss of an aircraft if that single engine fails, the mantra was that it also meant there is only half as much to go wrong in the first place. Even the Yak-141 and F-35B still use a single thrust vectoring engine, with either additional lift engines, or the lift fan, to balance the front of the aircraft.

The _Yak-41_ had a completely different system for vertical lift.

@@peterson7082 i meant the fan door reminded me of the 35, of course it is a completely different system!

Maybe you mean: Yak 38: *Looses engine* Yak 38: I'm about to save this pilot's whole career. *YEET!* Live to fly another day. So long, Cyka! Pilot: 38, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! BLYAAAAAAAAT!!!

@@unepintade I believe the Germans also made a Mach 2 VTOL. This one was a tiltjet with engines tilting at the tip of the wing like a V-22.

@@cynicalsuka2463 Nonsense.

I totally heard "ingested". As "object ingestion" is a thing in jets I thought the pilot had been ejected by the faulty auto-eject system, ground into red mist by one of the lift engines, and the plane had kept hovering with the main engine and remaining lift engine. I had to read your comment to realise my mistake.

sea harriers had radar from their inception in 1980

There are plenty of instances of Harriers using radar in 1982 during the Falklands War.

US Marines are gradually replacing it with the F-35B though.

The Harriers are rarely used recently by the Marines due to their poor performance. F-35B has already started replacing it for the Marines, it being a vastly superior STOVL/VTOL jet. Italy is also buying F-35s.

@@weasle2904 Harrier is due to be retired by the USA in 2025-2028. They kept it around initially to cover for the legacy hornet fleet.

beeble2003 Marines always got the old 💩

Harrier suffered 11.44 accidents per 100,000 flight hours, compared to 3 for the F/A-18. 45 Marine pilots were killed in 148 accidents in Harriers. VTOL also limited how much weight the jet could carry so the crew had to cut the fuel back or send it up with a limited weapon loadout. It’s not a very good airplane when you consider everything about it.

@@ThomasWeissJr it’s a good job I didn’t say it was brilliant jet, it just was a beautiful "looking" jet…. There’s been many jets/aircraft whose statistics have much to be desired, I could list quite a few but, to me it’s the look of the craft that I like so much (and it’s British) as does the mosquito, spitfire….

I think there was nowhere to fit it.

It also fit into Soviet Air doctrine (which was widely used by the NVA Air Corps) and that was that Air Control on the ground can direct fighters to the fight. That way the more powerful radar systems can be fitted on the ground the pilots would be radioed to the threat. However this proved not to be as efficient at intercepting aircraft as it was believed.

Some Harriers where without radar as well.

Harriers did not have radar 2 ..only see harrier had them

And couldn't fly on Hot days.......

they rather stole these blueprints in 90s

@@impaugjuldivmax Didn't they rent one then take the good ideas and decide not to like it. ;)

Imp Aug Jul Div Max not stolen at all. Figured out what the russians did wrong and didn’t do it.

Opposite is true. Russians copied the design of the 1960s Convair 200 for the US Navy's STOVL Sea Control Fighter variant: 5s627h8o8an31.jpg

Sadly. However, the research collected went on to creating the Tornado.

The harrier proved to be an absolute stalwart in the service of the RAF and FAA in addition to the USMC. A supersonic iteration would have been just as successful imo. It built upon the harriers strengths.

Bristol Siddley was having trouble with development of the BS.100 engine specifically designed for the P.1154. They couldn't make it work and it didn't look like it ever would. Without this engine the P.1154 was impossible.

Grayson Virtue because the Tories fucked up the economy from 1951 and 1963 leading to the runs on the Pound. Labour, left holding the baby again, tried to support the Pound by spending the foreign currency reserves and the bullion reserves to support the Pound until these were exhausted and they were forced to devalue the Pound.

Sam McCormack the TSR2 wasn't that good either. The F-111 which had used the same GOR as the TSR2 had almost twice the range for the same mission profile, for example both could get to the eastern Polish border area but the TSR2 had to set off from Germany whilst the F111 could do so from bases in the UK.

There where only 4 air-frames built: two nonflying and two flying. Nonflying ones where scrapped (one cannibalized, other - lost). Of the flying ones: Tail number 77 is preserved in Monino Museum; Tail number 75 is in the private collection of Vadim Zadorozhny's Museum of Technology.
