What was the problem with the Yak-38?

Soviet designers went with the Tumansky R-28 engine, and RD-38 turbojets provided the initial lift. The Yak-38 did not have impressive specs. Its top flight speed was 795 miles per hour, with a ceiling of 36,000 feet and a range of 800 miles. They later tested it on the ground in Afghanistan, and the engines stirred up dust and debris that could obstruct the engines and stall the airplane.
