    Thrust engine if I remember, Russia is still the leader, no use to mention air to air missiles, the final decisive moment in fight is still dogfight, regarding that Russia, is not the last.
    Why will have Russia to follow the same F-22, and F-35's disastrous path ?

    What makes you think the PAK FA program is automatically heading towards disaster? Why don't we just look at satellite guided warheads: The U.S. developed GPS guidance for warheads first, and they ended up creating shells that cost $50-80,000 per shell, while Russia created GLONASS guided shells that only cost additional $1,000 per shell. Thats easily 50-80 times cheaper than the U.S. equivalent, and the PAK FA is designed to be stealthy, but not to the point of sacrificing all other aspects of the fighter plane. Do you really think that Su-35 just developed out of nowhere? It's a product that took several decades of experimentation and solutions, to develop the plane in to what it is today. Lets just look at aircrafts developed in the 1950's and then compare it to now. Over time the problems with stealth planes will have been overcome with smarter and better solutions.

You will developp a fighter, where only 30% of its fleet is ready in the best case, but in the reality around 10% are ready. F-22 is optimized only against poor third world countries, not against Russia, China or India.

    A better question is can they afford not to continue to develop new technology?

    Without programs like the PAK FA they would not be working on data fusion and communications technology and by the way that article is bullshit... even Armata, Typhoon, boomerang, and kurganets will have data fusion... the Mi-28N and Ka-52 have data fusion, even the MiG-35 and Su-35 have data fusion.

    the main mistake is thinking that the PAK FA is the F-22.

    The Russians are not going to build 1,000 of these planes... most likely they will end up with 250 to 300 at the most, more likely less.

    Moreover, the AESA radar technology is not US origin, it is japanese origin. The PESA radar if I remember was soviet origin. Why must Russia follow US failling path ?

    AESA can do a few things that PESA can't. Both are a huge step forward with electronic scanning being near instantaneous so that widely separated targets can be continuously 'scanned' with no mechanical delay.

    Why will have Russia to follow the same F-22, and F-35's disastrous path ?

    The Russians aren't stupid... they saw the mistakes the US made and so far they are not repeating them.

    Weapon system development is measure/countermeasure. stealth isn't perfect but in some areas it makes things harder for the enemy... so if it is sensible and affordable it makes sense.

    Russia can't afford not to be at the forefront of aeronautical technology...

    Nice, it's said to be static test airframe T-50-7. Looks like it has metal cowlings for the engines. Wonder what other changes it has.

    Rolling Eyes When they developed RAM for the B-2, obviously it was a aircraft specific RAM

    Nope.

    When they develop RAM it is not for the aircraft it is to be painted onto, it is for the radars that will be used against the aircraft.

    A B-2 has RAM designed to reduce the performance of high frequency radar, but they can't paint it on thick enough to effect longer wave radar signals.

    With larger aircraft the shaping can be used to a degree, but very long wave radar don't even discriminate shape so shaping and mm thick RAM is irrelevant.


    Radar absorbers are loosely classified as "resonant" or "broadband". Resonant RAM is effective only for a discreet frequency or a set of discreet frequencies. Broadband RAM is effective over an entire band of frequencies.


    Which brings us back to... the point... development of the PAK FA can be applied to the existing fleet of aircraft... Rolling Eyes

    Russia and India have completed preliminary design fighter FGFA
    This was in the program "General Staff", "Russian news service," said Regional Director for International Cooperation of the United Aircraft Corporation Andrew Marshankin. According to him, "already have the documentation and understanding of the scope of the next stage of design."
    Other details regarding the export version FGFA representative of the KLA did not disclose, reports Lenta.ru. Meanwhile, Marshankin said that most likely the Indian version FGFA will double in contrast to the single Russian T-50. This need is due to the fact that "in the harsh conditions of modern warfare is extremely difficult to simultaneously maneuver and fire on the enemy."
    In the development of promising fighter FGFA involved a Russian company "Dry" and India's Hindustan Aeronautics Limited. The share of India's participation in the project was set at 40 percent. Two-seater FGFA will be armed with the Indian guided missile Astra, and supersonic cruise missile "Brahmos" joint development with Russia.

    I would suspect that on the PAK FA the pilot just needs to lock the target and pull the trigger and manouver the aircraft. The sensors will detect when the cannon shells will hit the target and only fire the gun when a hit is a certainty... making the gun more effective than a close in AAM in many ways.

    (Note the MiG-29 already has this capability... and has had it since it entered service in the 1980s.)

    Russia and India have agreed to accelerate the implementation of the project to create a fifth generation fighter - media
    01/22/2015 18:14:45
    Delhi. January 22. Interfax-AVN - India questioned the feasibility of a new R & D project of the fifth-generation fighter, as this may lead to delays in timing of this aircraft into service.
    "India agreed to accelerate the implementation of the project to create a fifth generation fighter with Russia," - said the Indian news portal NDTV, Commenting the results of the visit of Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu in Delhi.
    According to the publication, in the course of negotiations, the Indian side expressed its doubts about the advisability of signing a contract to conduct R & D on new fifth-generation fighter, taking into account the fact that some of his prototypes - Single PAK FA - is already being tested in Russia.
    Under the contract signed in 2012, each party must make under $ 5.5 billion on research and development project, including the development, infrastructure, building prototypes and conducting their flight tests.
    NDTV also notes that India's Defense Minister Manohar Parrikar in the negotiations expressed their strong desire to take a new fighter for the Air Force in India much earlier than originally designated date of commencement of supply - 2024 - 2025 years.
    India plans to build 127 new fighter aircraft factory Aviation Corporation Hindustan Aeronautics Limited in Nashik. The cost of the project to create a new fighter is estimated at $ 25 billion.

    I'd kill to see that too, but let's be honest, it will not be anything intersting (aside from RAM application). We know how NIIPs AESA face looks like.

    Would be nice to see a PAKFA version of Vitebsk with DIRCM's that probably could also work as painters for targets for Morphei Anti Missile Missile capabilities.

    PAK-FA already had mockups/test articles of DIRCM, in the locations that otherwise were fitted with IRST/DAS like modules. Very intersting but it seems like they are serious about putting DIRCM on it from the start. Won't be Vitebsk though, something entirely new.

    EDIT: 101KS-O, wasn't it? Too lazy to check right now.

    I can see US Gov bribing an Indian pilot with 300 millions USD $ and a nice apartment in miami to defect with their Pak-FA to pakistan so they get their hands on it..  Historically US have stolen many Russian planes in the past to learn everything about its technology  and Russia do nothing to avoid that. So how much time it will take USA to steal a pak-fa?  no even 1 year.. after any foreign nation gets one.
