A Topol won’t ever be carrying 8 warheads for starters.

4th PAK-FA flying prototype will have full serial AESA radar.
Not so much tech to learn, since India can build everything already,
but freedom to integrate their own weapons/gizmo’s
India can make a Block 60 F-16, or something as capable? Interesting….

This Sergei Ablogin fellow is storming teh webs.
Vzlet magazine mentions Il-476 first flight will be in October 2011.
Do you know when it happened?
Yes, right at the end of 2010, December 28th.

The event.
None what so ever.. even if they made a more compact BrahMos version it would not fit inside..
The release pylon inside the WB would have to be massive taking up a lot of space. Also it would not be room for other pylon/missile inside.No sir, no BrahMos for Pak-Fa.
Thats what the Su-24M2, Su-34, Tu22M3 and some odd numbers of the MKI’s for anyway.;)EDIT:
On second thought, we do not know what kind of design lay out the FGFA will have..
It is slated for bigger engines on a later stage, could be it is somewhat larger than the Pak-Fa.
And the notion that IAF will get both the singel seat Pak-Fa and the larger two seater FGFA.. who knows.Wouldn’t it be awsome if they designed the FGFA out of the Fullback with a side-by-side crew compartment!:eek:
If so, It would have room for a BrahMos inside.
I still maintain that FGFA will be far closer to PAK-FA than people think.
I don’t think we will see internal Brahmos untill PAK-DA. :diablo:
Don’t have that much sadly, but I do believe the Lipetsk and Tambov based units perform that role.

Check this out, I’ll translate any interesting parts later, hopefully google translate will be adequate.
Couple of agressor markings, sometime in the 2000s..I think.
nothing stopping Russia from making its own “aggressor” unit with professional paint sceeme 😉
RuAF has aggressor units. Here are a pair of them :
That is one of the 4 serials delivered late last year.
YEs that nose looks fugly. However if there is something inside, it suddenly becomes very beautiful indeed.
Wow, great photos of the new Ka-52s!

Ka-50 > Mi-28.
Had to be said.
From the BBC
Russia plans $650bn defence spend up to 2020
Apparently total military spending will be 22 trillion roubles through 2020. The GPV has yet to be decided though, the military asked for even more than this big increase. 22 trillion is a good sum, no need to bankrupt the country.
As for the colours TR1 its personal choice in my personal opinion (I am sure some others will agree) the glossy Russian camo is sickening and takes the beauty out of fine aircraft. The J-20s superior looking finish is mosly due to the black paint.
It is a matter of opinion of course, but I completely disagree, love the PAK-FA paint. You are quite right about the J-20s finish looking so good being a result of the paint used- and likely a generous dose of photoshop ;).
While we are on the subject I think Su-34 camo is way too bright for my taste.
Ministry of Defence will purchase up to 2020 more than 600 aircraft and 1000 helicopters
ARMS PROGRAM TO 2020 include the purchase of OVER 600 aircraft and about a thousand HELICOPTERS – Defense Ministry
Now long term plans are usualy pretty hard to judge for accuracy, but!

100 helicopters in 2011! I would like to see a breakdown.
