Well, given how some readers here are such enthusiasts on the Yak-38 - aptly summed here as "a great engineering feat, but useless combat aircraft" (which was its role) - here is some footage of it at work, part from a documentary on its "never was" successor, the YAK-141 Freestyle.

(And no, the 141 will never be as good as the Harrier, simply because it never went past prototype stages, and "what if" only wins on War Thunder)

Will add link to full video on the comments
