Did a hangar for Harriers @ Cherry point Marine Air base in NC. Seeing them stop in mid air freaked your brain out the first few times.
I was there when Hurricane Hugo was coming and the air base was evacuated. They had an active hangar beside our new one and all the planes that had not been cleared for service had to be quick tested. What they did was take 4-5 of them at a time and let them hover a few 100 feet off the ground, then brought them back down. This was 80-90's before cell phone cameras but that was an image I'll never forget.
Araysar was the harrier a superior air platform than the yak?
Don't know much about the yak but the harrier (as I understand it ) was very unstable in hover mode. I was really surprised to see it added to the F35 models.That's like asking if one wheelchair is superior to another

EDIT: Oops forgot what thread I was in: GIS Unstable hover video
you mean amphibs, not carriers.All VTOL fighter jets were pretty shitty. Their main purpose was to be used as carrier planes. Russia experimented with that Yak for their navy but then just said fuck it, we barely have 1 working carrier anyways.

carriers have catapults and arresting gears which eliminates the need for VTOL.
Amphibs focus on VTOL jets and helicopters
