Sukhoi Su-27/30/33/35/37 Flanker series & Su-34 Fullback - History, Design, Performance & Dissection (Part 3)

They look quite small, almost like they slapped MiG-21 wings on it.

i dont think that the Su-15 in the image is the 15TM with the double delta tho
which is the one that was teased

yeah and they also wanted to make it a STOL

I kinda fear it will be the next even mentioned yesterday, I’d prefer to have it in the tree to be honest.

can’t blame them for wanting cool stuff, can you?

It looks so silly with those short stubby delta wings

I swear, Soviet engineers, if not tried, then wanted to make so many things STOL/VTOL

I feel like this template has the potential to grow even more :)

yep, folded, as you can see. Not gonna make them significantly bigger, but they are folded

I know, I know (wasnt there also some early Yak prototype too?)

is the F-101 and F-104 a joke to you?

i mean we are talking about Yakolev here so i wouldnt be suprised

and i dont want to know of the abhorent creations that Tupolev might have drawn up either
