JSR, don’t bother with the exposed troll.

Well, some people are under the impression aerodynamics froze when the F-22 was created, and stand still till the US makes a new fighter.

I, for one, can’t wait to see both the Il-476 and the An-70 in RuAF service.

If MSA was so good, nobody would have opted for ESA. The fact that Russia and France opted for PESA versions for thei main fighters (even before development of AESA versions) after having successful MSA point otherwise.

To add on, you can also have the wide angels of MSAs. See Irbis/Bars, both electronic and mechanical steering.

Something like this?

EDIT: Trying not to destroy thread cohesion.

There is some Russian trash movie on RTR Planeta that has everything in it the Russian military has to offer … some cool footage!

Why does the Tu-160 afterburner produce yellow/brownish dirt on take-off?

Any chance of name/link of the movie?
