Firebar vs Javin
The Yak 28 Firebar had the same mission of the Javlin -that of interceptor that can carry 4 AA missiles . Of course the Yak 28 was a 10 years later design but the basic mission remained the same despite much higher performance. The Firebar had a top speed of mach 1.95 and climb rate of 30000 feet which put it in a different and much modern class. In the Russian tradition it carried two IR and two Radar missiles. The only place that the Javlin had a chance against it was in low level where the speed difference was small.
The Firebar is Hobby model reduced to 1:48 scale .
I attached here pics of the two.
