In the 1990s Yak sold the design to LM which developed it into F-35B. Will be used on Russia's new light carriers currently under construction at Kerch. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yakovlev_Yak-141 @Ultima Thule @Yaseen1 @Philip the Arab @vostok @zzzz @mike2000 is back @KAL-EL @zectech
Heavy because of 3 engine hence less range than subsonic counterparts like Harrier and also carrying less weapon loads than harrier
It is sufficient for counter terror role onboard the new Project 23900 amphibious assault carriers. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_23900_amphibious_assault_ship
It is dead project and Russian wont revive Yak-141 project but if they want to develop similar VTOL jets they will start a new project from scratch
It will be based on the existing Yak-141 design but with a more powerful engine. Sort of like how Su-35 was developed from Su-27.
This design is old and not for modern standard world aviation tech is move ahead way way beyond this late 80s and early 90s design
Keep blabbering your terrorist horseshit, every thing in Russian armed force is to counter terrorism from SSN to Bombers, Cruise Missiles to glide bombs, from Su-57 t to Armata tanks everything Russian armed forces have to counter trrrorism
