So my worst fears are confiremed. Russia would be marginally technologicly equal to the US only if it starts having hundreds of at least 2 types of 5gen fighters in the next 10 years and have working 6gen prototypes at that same time..
Your worst fear ?
KomissarBojanchev ,believe me, here anyone.....
ANYONE..... ,from day one, has perfectly understood your childish, convoluted attempts to trolling through expressed positions ,supposedly related to third persons, but clearly representing, instead, your thoughts, or assertions clearly produced to achieve flamed reactions.
The conceptual level of similar naive attempts are so low that them result even self-offensives....
What save you is only the exemplar level of tolerance ,pluralism and freedom of expression ruling as first principle in this forum, to the point that ,save for very grave and reiterated instances of rule's infraction,
the anti-democratic habit to ban (so common in majority of western forums on military subjects,
literally controlled and where informed positions considered dangerous for the ideas and image that them are tasked to spread, are selectively insulated and quickly erased )
is almost banned .
By the way, the next time you will try to allude to the military technological level between advanced nations
forget those ridiculous vehicles with wings, flaps and airlerons the level of "
low observability" of which is not only the product of true metropolitan legends but also
the direct fruit of a little part of the Scientific achievements of Domestic Scientific Institutes literally imported in US ,which became so popular lately only because useful for attack ,with very low losses, immensely inferior enemies totally incapable to defend themselves , because
those vehicles in a serious conflict wouldn't survive more than 20-30 minutes (in a full nuclear conflict) and 24-48 hours in a full conventional conflict between powerful opponents.Instead try to think to
technological level of the high end strategic systems such as Ballistic Missile technology (Topol-M, RS-24, Bulava, and new generation solid and liquid fuel ICBMs) ,
Strategic Air and Space coverage radars (Nebo-M ,Voronezh series) high end strategic IAD elements (S-300V4 , S-400 ,S-500, A-235 and....something other....),strategic range cruise missiles (Kh-101 ,K-555), new generation submarines (Pr-855/855M, Pr. 955/955M) integrated ground-space system ( Project "Aquarel") , for remain silent on perspective programs.....and you will realize that ,outside theirs controlled ,PR-guided media,
the best West can hope for ,in the middle term, is to remain close enough ,in almost all most critical military segments,
to being still capable to eat our Scientific dust, not differently than in the past.Sorry for you KomissarBojanchev but '90 years are gone for good since a while

Good points but still the fact that russia previously planned to restart production of the Tu-160, An-124 and An-225 by now yet they're still negotiations with the ukrianians that will delay the production of the antonovs up until 2020+ is causes concern not to mention the delays with the indians on the FGFA project.
