I dont see how?..
they made the ONLY US interceptor an event plane, can you really blame them?
downwards, check photos that i posted afterwards
i mean we got the STOL Mig-21

the STOL Mig-23 prototype

That one small thing?

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
