That’s Rossya’s SLO – special flying unit. Government bird basically.

Yes he isn’t a pilot, he’s actually sheet metal worker who occasionally gets to make a few parts for broken Migs in some third world european country. Just ignore him.

We all know you are “special”, but calling Slovakia “some third world European country” does not help your case.

Yeah, perhaps we’re down to semantics 😉 I just doubt you can trace a direct lineage from a T-10* project to the T-50 as it looks today.

Of course you can’t.

Thx. It could be because of the rest of her being so big, but she doesn’t appear to have a large bow sonar dome, when compared with the drawing I posted earlier.

I think it is more a size/embedding issue. Dome looks pretty big, similar to Kuznetsov:

Interesting, the 275th repair plan:

Good history of the plan, anyone want anything specific translated, ask.

For recent events:
Under GOZ 2012, repairs are planned on several Su-27 and around ten MiG-29. In 2013, and 2014, the plan is about the same. By 2015 the repair rate is to grow to around 20 Su-27 and 20 MiG-29. For the next 5 years (starting in 2011),. the plant plans to repair 53 MiG-29, 38 Su-27, 85 L-39. Starting in 2014, the plant will repair Yak-130s as well.

Some time ago the RAF’s commander said that an average fighter exceeds the 2M speed just for a couple of minutes in its entire life. But this requires a significant strengthening of the aircrafts structure. As a consequence, the plane becomes heavier and the useful payload decreases.
Apparently, it’s a trade-off – a lower top speed in exchange for a lighter structure and a bigger payload.

Indeed. F-15 went through some difficulty to get that Mach 2.5 top speed, though with any kind of AAM load, it can’t go past Mach 2, making the capability worthless.
