There are russki references to plasma stealth. well, it's a fable :) "Marabu" cloaking field device and all that crazy staff. And about your link... well, yes, it's about stealth technology. Conventional stealth technology - special meterials, composites and dyes. Ah, if you wanna use rus...

Yuri, Thanks again for the pics. That can't be very stealthy! http://www.arms-expo.ru/im.xp/049057057048052050049.jpg you cannot be antistealth without this - optic location station (ОЛС) in the hires photo whats the ugly looking pylon type thing visible on the left, first of all it's place for ECM...

long range fighter really need that capability well, all russian weapons are made for fighting and winning, no for winning awards on air-shows. You cannot expect what will you need at war. And, besides, there are special anti-airstrip bombs. Georgians are made acquainted with them :oops: . And afte...

I really wonder why such a massive wheels and struts are needed

it's not a mystery - it's done so to land on a ground airfield.

and HI-RES

you are right. It's not painted.

directly from maker.

The USAF lost the F-22 race not because it was not a fine stealth aircraft

don't think so. Today is the great dat for Lockheed Martin Aeronautics.

Take an MKI and sit on it. Result - a flattened airframe called PAK-FA! take an F-15 and sit on it... The plane starts from the ground, does a nose-up then comes to a stop using the airbrake pachutes. sure thing. but at least....something. And yes, very similiar to Black Widow II - but only from si...

All respect for pics and video goes to people from http://www.avanturist.org/ - "Глобальная Авантюра"

here you go - the video

Damn hot newscaster.

my mistake. It was at 1tv.ru not at Vesti.ru. My apologize. But it wat at 1 channel.

No. the footage was at http://www.1tv.ru/itvn/1/b=1. Strange thing, really. And really similiar to YF-23. At least looking from the front.

if i got right, here will be footage. In 20 minutes ...at 06:00 am by the time of this MB

I see a Su-33 exhaust. No 3D TVC there.

Well, even Raptor haven't got the real 3d vectoring, you know. But if you look more closely to the construction of nozzle you will be able to make some conclusions.

The plane was said to be of a 'conservative' design. sure thing, bro. It has wings, nose cone and fuselage :rotfl: no flying wing perversions and all that. The Plane's commercial name will be SU-50. Then versions like SU-50K will happen. maybe or maybe not.You see, India probably will have even dif...

The pak-fa engine is getting ready as well.

Yes, it is. But maiden flight will be made with another engine, if i am not mistaken.

Not today. 29.01.10 probably. Low altitude clouds?

Well for someone who's all set for a nuclear firestorm, do elaborate more the on the non-complex suicidal Indians and Chinese showdown!!! Non-complex or complex, the suicide remains. Better to threaten full-scale extermination, than to wage even a small war, isn't it? I am not set on final firestor...

Vodka hangover perhaps I don't drink vodka, while i'm in city - i prefer red wine or beer - and only on fridays. Besides, maiden flight still may be 29.01.2010, not tomorrow. It's much easer to drink vodka on friday. Does that mean Russia and US don't need to worry about fighthing one another??? Ye...

cool factor! in aerodynamic terms? well, 5-gen distinguishing features are like those: 1. non-afterburner supersonic cruise speed 2. supermaneuverability 3. stealth 4. active phased radar grid 5. integration in "digital battlefield" systems and hi-intellectual avionics Points 4 and 5 are ...

Revisit the question, it was regarding F 35 equivalent, not what was developed/in development in 1994 Well, F-35 does not even exist in production :) And by the way, it is not so cool, like probable PAKFA and nowdays F-22. In the terms of 5-gen plane it isn't even 5-gen at all. So should we stop co...

Does it mean we will soon see a Russian equivalent of F 35? well, you can see previous version even now :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bg3MF_e7YX4 this is version of 1994. Yes, i think that there will be lightweigth single-engine fighter. But when - i cannot even imagine. Nowdays it's equivalent...

If its 28.02.10, the anticipating fanbois might end up waging jihad against Sukhoi !

Ah, yes, sorry, 28.01.10 - tomorrow, speaking shortly. And, besides, there is smth like jihad already. We were fed by tales during last 3 years. But, nightingale must not be fed by fables, you know.

it's in russian, but translate.google.com will be useful, i think.

Is it supposed to fly in Tuesday? Yes, the rumor is. In russian forums about military aviation some people are proclaiming that it will fly 28.02.10 at Komsomolsk-na-Amure. All Suhoi's VIPs are already there. Rumor is that even Pogosyan himself is there. Callsign for T-50 during the first flight - ...
