The Yakovlev Yak-38 (NATO reporting name: Forger) was the Soviet Union’s first and only operational VTOL (Vertical Take-Off and Landing) fighter used primarily by the Soviet Naval Aviation. This aircraft, which first flew on January 15, 1971, and was introduced in 1976, was developed to operate from aircraft carriers. Powered by one main thrust engine and two vertical lift engines, the Yak-38 could achieve a top speed of 800 km/h with a range of approximately 1,300 kilometers. It was equipped for light attack missions, capable of carrying a payload of up to 1,000 kg including bombs and air-to-air missiles, making it versatile in its limited role. The design focused on providing the Soviet navy with a fast deployment airborne capability, though it was hindered by performance limitations in payload and range compared to contemporary aircraft.
