The Soviet Yak-38 Jump Jet Aircraft Overview | AMBITIOUS FAILURE

Was the Yak-38 the Soviet Union's answer to the legendary Harrier Jump Jet, or just a flying experiment gone hilariously wrong? Join me as we explore one of the quirkiest chapters in aviation history. From its revolutionary VTOL design to its laugh-out-loud mishaps—yes, we’re talking automatic ejection seat fails—this is the full story of the Yak-38.

I’ll also share my own favorite aircraft, the Harrier, and reflect on its role in the Falklands War, a campaign I learned about firsthand during my time stationed in the Falklands with the British Army.
