 * The Yak-38 was the only VTOL aircraft of the former Soviet Union, it's kinda like the harrier.
 * The CH-53E and the MH-53 have different missions. MH-53s were for special forces operations and Search&Rescue, while the CH-53E is for heavy lift operations for the US Marines. You could say the differences between them are somewhat similar to the MH-60S Knighthawk and the UH-60 Black Hawk.
 * The Mi-26 is the Heavy lift equivalent to the CH-53/CH-47 of the US. However it clearly dominates the category of Heavy Lift Helicopters
