GRB-36 and the test F-84F (F-84E with swept wings and tail with anhedral with hook). This would transition to the RF-84K.

At first I thought it was a Mig I-320, but the landing gear isn't right.
Maybe a Yak-30 with a experimental radar installation ?
Or something in front of a Yak-30, that has no connection to it ?

It is a Yak, but not the Yak-30.

Or something in front of a Yak-30, that has no connection to it ?

That's the question - what's in front of the Yak and what's going on there at all?
Ok, another shot:

That picture won't display.
The book I have skips from the Yak-30 to the Yak-50.
It's not the Yak-50 because it's a bicycle type undercarriage .

I have reloaded it.

The book I have skips from the Yak-30 to the Yak-50.

There is nothing to skip between these two projects. The Yak-50 followed immediately after the Yak-30.

It's not the Yak-50 because it's a bicycle type undercarriage .

Definitely!

It looks too big to be a pitot tube.
Maybe you have some suicidal Soviets there, if that's a cannon barrel.
That location for a cannon didn't work too well on a Mig-9, did it ?

It looks too big to be a pitot tube.

Sure!

Maybe you have some suicidal Soviets there, if that's a cannon barrel.

That's not a cannon barrel.

That location for a cannon didn't work too well on a Mig-9, did it ?

It is true, but that's not a cannon.

Oh, aerial refueling.
