About this aircraft
- The Yak-38 is suitable for attacking any sort of targets, both on the ground, in the air and even at sea. The ability to take off and land vertically allows it to improvise, playing like a helicopter while it picks up maximum speed extremely quickly. This aircraft has access to many secondary weapons, and thanks to a ballistic computer for rockets and guns, aiming at ground targets is easy to do.
