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

Are those interceptors? I thought they are just fighters

Tupolev also said that “Only beautiful planes are flying good”

have you seen the “wings” of the F-104?

that thing isnt doing anything but interceptions

its wikipedia but you get the point

no wonder none of his planes were flying good

Fair and I found the name of their prototype - Yak-36

Fair. I just never considered it as an interceptor, only thought about F-106 and F-102. And, you know, F-104 being turned into anything but interceptor by Canadians and Italians

You dare to insult beautiful Tupolev bombers?

oh yeah the thing that automatically ejected its pilot during a theatered test flight and then they had to wait for it to run out of fuel

And Germans

Germans were more busy making Starfighter intou a Groundfighter, with all those accidents
