Is US F35 a copy of Russian Yak 141 #shorts #trending #shortvideo #viralvideo

ROFLMAO, nobody is "buzzing" because this is just a silly ruzzian fanboy wet dream. Yak-141 used deadweight - vertically placed separate engines for takeoff and landing. Essentially, it was a MASSIVELY inferior design. In the 90s, western structural engineering was somewhat behind and America literally was dependent on buying titanium parts. Russia has biggest deposits, and russians demanded the parts be made in russia. Boeing did it for the C-17 - and it was one of the reasons why C-17, which had many titanium structural components, got discontinued. That was all there was to "deal with LM" - titanium components which eventually were replaced by correcting the entire structures.

Sigh... There is a reason they use similar methods. It's because it works!! this is like saying "look the b52 has wings, and the lancaster had wings, they copied the lancaster!" The 141 had lift engines not a fan, had a twin boom tail rather than a wierd exdendable nozzle thing and a very different shape, it was boxy and rectangular with tiny swept wings, it wasn't a lifting body . I could argue the yak 141 copied the Vak 191, it had lift engines and vectoring thrusters so therefore the Russians copied it! Finally the f35 was the product of the JSF program, which began in the 80's so actually its design process predates the release of 141 data to the public,
