    … and – even if some won’t like to hear it – it is clear political “SIGN” to Russia and India with all their media hype around the T-50/PAK-FA, … !
    They are talking too much … in Chengdu they are working.
    .

    Cunning insight into the PAK-FA program. :rolleyes:

    Iran stationing a number of their new Tor platforms around likely targets would be further discouraging to any Israeli raid.

    . OK… how do you explain the SU-27 ass on T-50 then…:D

    !

    Aside from circular exhausts (which are an absurd thing to call aircraft similar over) I don’t see the resemblance.

    Su-27 length over F-15 has nothing to do with engine length, just compare Al-31 and PW F100.

    Making any comparisons to PAK-FA is silly at best right now. For all we know half the internal systems are missing.

    Nope
    I have an innate distrust in russian aircraft.

    Well that is just silly.

    No offense.

    If you take out the Indian orders…I believe the Pak-Fa and the J-20 will sell similarly in the market(if the Chinese are interested in selling).Both in not great numbers especially if both planes are 100 million dollar each.

    Also I doubt the Pak-Fa will be sold to Indonesia if India has a veto on where these planes are being sold.The Indonesian military has a rather comfy relationship with the Pakistani one.

    India will not have a veto on PAK-Fa sales. Russia had/has no problems selling SU-27s and Su-30s to Indonesia, I do not believe India ever even brought it up.

    He makes some assumptions which is inevitable at this stage, but to say “immense” is wrong IMO.

    Well, this is all IMO ofc, but his statement regarding J-20 and PAK-FA and F-35 stealth levels seems to be complete hogwash based on nothing.

    Dear lord he makes immense amounts of assumptions on a very uncertain topic.

    PAK-FA program would probably be dead in the water if not for export sales. .

    Innacurate, to put it mildly.

    Despite most of them operating 4/4.5 generation fighters with no problems…

    90% of what you post appears weakly thought out at best, severely close-minded and biased at worst.

    Is that a serious question?

    I don’t know, lets make a 5 second list, potential includes Kazakhstan, Belarus, other CIS nations, Syria, India, Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia, Algeria, Lybia, Venezuela, perhaps Brazil, Argentina, maybe European operators once they start having actually competitive fighter selections. What should be blatantly obvious is that the numerous Su-27 family operators around the world (and to a lesser extent MiG-29 operators), as well as potential new markets in South America, Europe and Asia, make a lucrative and substantial export market for the PAK-FA. No reason why it should not surpass the Su-30 in beig a successful export item to traditional Russian weapon users as well as new buyers.

    lol, of course Scooter. Anything that is not American will be sold on a tiny scale. You are hilariously predictable.

    PAK-FA will have significant export potential down the line, that much is obvious. In East Asia (since we are making this silly J-20/PAK-FA comparison) Su-27 operators are an obvious source of future orders, as well as new customers.
