The Yak-38 was actually a Soviet panic-response to the Harrier. It was based on an earlier British prototype VTOL, which was scrapped. Performance-wise, the Yak-38 was terrible (IMO should have never been developed, since at the time the Soviets actually had several other VTOL prototypes), thus the Soviets quickly began shifting towards developing the Yak 141 (which cost over 10 years of development).Originally Posted by civilriot2009
Yak-38
Harrier
The question is....Soviets copied from RAF or the other way around??
the yak-38 can never be judge since it has never pass the prototype status
The Yak-38 was the first production model, after it first flew yak-38 entered service with the Soviet Naval Aviation. A total of 143 Yak-38s were produced. Did you mean yak-41 never passed the prototype status??

hm can anyone answer that please, its looks like an airborne radar on it if im right. UAV AEW?
What is the status of this project?:
and also, what major equipment and changes are thier in the Indian MIG-29K's different radar? Israeli equipment?
and is there any info on the size and weight difference between a mig-29K and a normal mig-29?
thanks in advance
If it was a radar (if AWACS)...then the plane must be huge. Take a look at this pic http://www.defenseindustrydaily.com/...0_AWACS_lg.jpghm can anyone answer that please, its looks like an airborne radar on it if im right. UAV AEW?

IMO it has to be a satellite reciever to control the plane. It could be anything...

Naval variant, the letter "K" stands for "Korabelnogo bazirovaniya" (Deck-based ), with equipment such as folding wings, arrestor gear, and reinforced landing gear. Originally intended for the Admiral Kuznetsov class aircraft carriers, had even received series production approval from Russian Ministry of Defence but was later grounded in 1992 due to shift in military doctrine and state financial difficulty. MiG Corporation restarted the program in 1999 and made vital improvement to the previous design. On 20 January 2004, Indian Navy signed a contract of 12 single-seat MiG-29K and four two-seat MiG-29KUB set delivery in the period from 2007 to 2009. Modification was made for Indian Navy requirement; now standard for all current production, featured Zhuk-ME radar, RD-33MK engine, combat payload up to 5,500 kg, 13 hardpoints (inclusive of the multi-lock bomb carriers), additional fuel tanks situated in dorsal spine fairing and wing LERXs, increased total fuel capacity by 50% comparing to first variant of MiG-29 and updated 4-channel digital fly-by-wire flight control system. Current production MiG-29K and MiG-29KUB also share a full-sized two-seater style canopy. With special coatings MiG-29K radar reflecting surface is 4-5 times smaller than of basic MiG-29. Cockpit displays consist of wide HUD and three (seven on MiG-29KUB) colour LCD MFDs and French Sigma-95 satellite GPS module and Topsight E helmet-mounted targeting system. Compatible with the full range of weapons carried by the MiG-29M and MiG-29SMT. NATO reporting code is Fulcrum-D.

It's most likely a communication relay.
It might has a cam....it takes pics for recognition then sents to satellite and then to HQ???
too big antenna
relay for sure
It's sukhoi's proposed AEW UAV concept. Sort of like E-2, but with operators seated in remote control&command module.
What if there is lag?
What the operators will see on the screens will be a few seconds old... not live
