Talk about two old reliable workhorses. Both of which don't seem to have a solid replacement in the pipeline.

Best "replacement" for the Su-25 is the Su-25SM3 in my humble opinion.

That is just a stopgap. Also it seems real CAS aircraft are to disappear and their missions to be splitted among frontline bombers, multirole fighters and UCAVs in future.

I don't know what your talking about, it maybe true for the West, but Russia is financing the Pak-Sha program as a direct replacement for Su-25.

That project is far from being financed, its just proposed. And there has been no new real CAS aircraft developed for decades now.

Last real CAS aircrafts were Jugoslavian J-22 Orao and Italian-Brasilian AMX. For CAS aircraft they today mostly use just modified advanced trainers and turboprops and i dont think many pure CAS aircraft will appear.

Preliminary design stages doesn't mean it's not being financed (aerospace engineers don't work for free), which will take some due to the fact that it'll be heavily IR-opaque/stealth design.

The Chinese shot their Victory Day Parade in 360 at 4K resolution:

To bad Yandex only sees 720p for the 360° videos and even the 720p function looks like 360p.

Yes, i always have considered the Hind to be a xenomoprh looking beast.

Nice paint job, just skip the tiger part and make it true xenomorph.

Thanks for the pictures.

You welcome.
