Damn. They had a Superjet order too.

MiG-35 and Subaru test drive.
Rogozin corrected himself, since that was obviously a misleading statement. He mentioned the Gorshkov/Vik, and 6 subs being repaired/worked on/built.
With no disrespect intended Rii!!!
The Yak-130 is the perfect economical platform to drop bombs and fire rockets on the Syrian people!!
Well done Russia and Putin for attempting to prop up and supply another dictatorship! The Russian’s should call themselves the Soviet Union! Oh they were the Soviet Union 😮The structure of the United Nations Security Council really needs to change or the UN dissolved!
‘My apology for my rant gents’ 😮

The Cold War calls, it wants you back.
Fighting in the suburbs is not the same as the city being “surrounded”. This is a very different scenario from say Libya, when the rebels were actually surrounding Pro-Quadaffi strongholds, and the end was in sight.
What Russia resurgent cost? Russia still doesn’t spend a tenth of what the US does yearly on its military, and even if the US was not involved in its adventures in the Middle East, it would have done nothing to influence Russia’s military acquisition/reform plans.

Snowy day for an Azeri MiG-29.
LOL!! China have rcs model of Rafale several years now and have close relation with France. France likely can provide data on Rafale like they did Mirage. Rafale is old design from 80s, J-10 is newer design and J-10B have AESA radar and entering service. How long will it be before India get their own Rafale? they are behind already by ten years. J-20 already is enough to defeat Rafale and Indian pakfa
Interesting, tell us more. Also, hows that Chinese pilot on the Kuznetsov doing?
Did I say it would outmaneuver the F-16? Don’t put words in my mouth. In fact, NO-ONE said it would outmaneuver you personal god, the F-16. Read more carefully.
Regarding Su-27 RCS, educate yourself, for starters:

Same with Bars, a little self research doesn’t hurt. This took me about 5 seconds:
Fairytales. Yeah.
Congrats, you call anything you don’t agree with fairy tales (despite everything I said not being particularly new information), and somehow that supports your argument.
lol.
Bison does not carry R-77, it carry RVV-AE, differed missile from differed manufacturer. Yes those are closely related technically but not the same. Learn basics!!
What are you stupid? I am well aware, the term is used interchangeably, sheesh.
India has received both older production R-77s and RVV-AE.
Cute how you try to call others out on lack of hard facts, when all you have is vague anecdotal rage as argument.
From visual inspection? It appear? This is your argument?
You are some kind of retarded funboy or something?
From visual inspection when I closly inspected Rafale on Air Show (having press pas is good) i haven seen anyting like the RAM coting used on advanced F-16. With any sort of usefull load+fuel external stores will reduce any effect in the same way on any aircraft. You should also remeber that F-16 is physically smaller.
For other reders – sorry for the tone but the ideas of TR1 are pure ignorance.
You forget to take your pills today or something? Guess you missed other obvious RCS reduction futures on the Rafale, like saw toothing everywhere.
Not sure as to the rest of your rage, since I did not really disagree with you.

Su-27 is the size of an airliners, can you blame it 😉 .
Around 15m2 is safe assumption yes, but Sukhoi has demonstrated ability to reduce vanilla Su-27 RCS significantly, with means ranging from RAM application, cockpit and radar treatment, and aiframe modification, back in 90s. They specifically claim RCS reduction on Su-35, and given that the Indians went for visually identifiable RCS reduction on the MiG-29K, it is hard to imagine they did not go for it on their premier fighter. Further, the Super 30 will almost certainly make further gains in this area.
2.) Bars has detected clean Su-27 past 300km apparently.
3.) Why so harsh on the Bison? It has a modern, if small radar, and R-77 is no slouch. Add HMS and R-73, well, older F-16s beware.
Same for Rafale.
No argument there, but just from visual inspection, it does appear like the French went into more detail with the RCS reduction (from the outset), when compared to the F-16. It is an older aircraft after all.
Needless to say I am not qualified to say to what degree the RCS differs between the two.
