india should just cancel and buy all f35. none of mrca aircraft give strong edge over neighbors new aircraft but f35 can.

At what costs?

Wanting a giggle is making you stupid. It isn’t laughs on the link. It isn’t comedy, it’s about Boeing Premoting the Super Hornet at CANSEC. This is military aviation news. Sorry for being rude, if you want to read it, go on google news and type Super Hornet and press the news that i just uploaded here.

Nah, wanting a giggle means one isn’t a miserable & over-sensitive sod. It’s amusing to hear what every manufacturer has to say and what gibberish they come up with when they’re promoting their product. A lot of it shouldn’t be taken seriously.

Boeing Promotes Super Hornet at CANSEC

Link doesn’t work.

I’ve been watching a series of documentaries on Youtube about the Su-27 and it’s progress through the year, up until the Su-35 variant. Great stuff! Shows how records were made to determine it’s performance capabilities, very interesting but those figures don’t represent what the operational service Flanker is capable of. For example, in order to set a time of climb to height from brakes off, the Su-27 was ‘chained’ to a couple of Bulldozers on the runway to decrease the take-off distance, then once the pilot had enough thrust some nutter released the chains and the aircraft flung off down the runway and took in no time at all, while also being totally stripped out to increase performance.

The F-15 ‘Streak Eagle’ went through similar processes to determine it’s “performance figures”. Again, not representing what the operational aircraft are actually capable of.

Don’t take it for granted when a pilot claims his fighter can reach Mach 2.5 or whatever.

Interesting, thanks Scorpion. Is there any reason(s) why their accelerating the entry into service of SRP12 or is it just a matter of they’re ahead of schedule with the progress?

“In an attemp to keep informal, AK ANthony recently stated that negociations should be done in july, final signature in Sept.”

There’s that word again…

I never said that china made the J-20 because of the video games, all i said was that the J-20 looks like those fantasy Ace Combat planes like on that photo.

To additionally add… Ace Combat is a really cool game, actually… Anyway that’s not my point, these so-called futuristic Japanese style fighters go back a very long way via Manga and Young. Having been to Japan twice (going back later this year) and being very much fascinated with their incredible culture they’ve always had an eye for exploring beyond the boundaries of their imagination especially when it comes to art such as this, the image you posted.

Anyway, that’s way off topic…

Personally, the J-10 has it’s own style of ‘looks’, it may well look like another aircraft be it real or fantasy, that doesn’t matter, to me the F-22 is a curvy F-15, F-35B a swelled up Yak-141… it’s not important, what is important that China have gone from producing, lets be honest, not much to make one worry, to a couple of Stealth Fighters that look to have significant potential.
