I would prefer investments on the PAKDA over the TU-160 if they make a regiment set of them and call it night bombers regiment 588. Nato reporting name is night witch and they are flown by female pilots. If that is not allowed than continue with the Tu-160s
Hearing a lot about Syrian and Russian airstrikes in Idlib this week. I guess it will be a matter of time before it turns red as well.
“The first prototype of a flying car is VZ-8 Airgeep, do you know when it was made? 1962. Today is 2019, 57 years later and yet flying cars isn’t produce in large number or commercially available”

This looks like a cluster**** between a helicopter and aircraft bought to you by uber but yet its called a flying car. Hell I put flying cars on google images and cant find one without wings.
Now this is something I would be proud to call a flying car or is closer to that concept without looking like an airplane or helicopter was f@cking it like the above image or your Vz-8 whatever its called. Oh and this thing can travel on water as well cant wait for this to enter the market. This will be my last post regarding cars since I don’t feel like getting in trouble again if this account goes to h#ll I will just make another one.

Su-57 will have composites, but i read time ago Su-35 S have many composites in his airframe too, for to reduce and improve its RCS. You think Su-27 is around 10-15 m2 and Su-35 S i read is around 3 m2, so this big improvement is because use the composites on Su-35S. Maybe is not big difference here on this thing comparing with Su-57
“When creating both combat and civil aircraft, the proportion of composite materials is constantly increasing. For example, 70% of the fifth generation fighter’s washed surface is carbon fiber. Composites greatly facilitate the weight of the structure, improve aerodynamics and allow to drastically reduce the visibility of the combat vehicle for radar.
Experts say that on the radar display of the fifth generation fighter, thanks to non-metallic coatings, no more than a bird.”
1 month later they add a metallic coating since these measurements above or based on non-metallic coatings https://www.defenseforces.com/2019/01/11/russias-sukhoi-su-57-fighter-jet-gets-advanced-stealth-coating/
“It doubles radar wave absorption and reduces the aircraft cockpit’s radar signature by 30% Currently, the coating is applied to the canopy of T-50 (Su-57 aircraft since August 2017), Su-30, Su-34, Su-35, MiG-29K and Tu-160 planes,” Rostec said.
The coating is made of metal oxide layers 70-90 nm thick. In addition to reducing visibility to enemy radars, it protects the pilot during the flight from the impact of ultraviolet, thermal and other negative factors, Rostec stressed.”
RCS figures can change F-35 was considered to have an RCS of a golf ball and next thing you know General Hostage says it has more stealth than the F-35. I will wait on the final figure but the patent more than likely reflects on overall RCS and the bird RCS might reflect on the front side for now.

The F-22 had a 3rd gen radar for 2 years until getting it replaced with 4th gen GaAS, the F-35 was considered to have 1200 modules before getting 1,600+ modules. I don’t know if I should laugh or cry if the module count and same based AESAs will be mass produced( I will let the 1st 12 slide to have the old radars) but if they are than starting the SU-57 project is completely meaningless and they could have saved their money not starting this project at all.

“
In the aircraft industry a role of composites is increasing, a sixth-generation aircraft will be possibly designed with use of the composite materials. On-board radio electronic equipment is being improved. Now the transmission power of the transceiver module of the active phased array antenna is 5–7 watts. After switching to the use of gallium nitride in microwave transmitters, the power can increase to 20 watts. Accordingly, the performance parameters of the radar will improve, and its dimensions will decrease. On-board computer technology is also being improved, despite the fact that we have
a rather difficult situation with the element base. In the microelectronics area we are still behind. The task was set to ensure import substitution, to switch to all domestic elements. We switch… losing in terms of dimensions.”
Not to be an obnoxious a$$hole but give me a reason why I should trust you over a KRET official that said we have switched to GaN? The reason I believe the SU-57 would have this is that I consider it a high priority aircraft over the rest of their aircraft industry. F-22 and F-35s had either replaced their modules or added more modules and if your telling me that after all these years they are still planning to mass produce the old shit avionics, and regarding the possible RCS of the SU-57 this project should have never been started in the 1st place. 2014 GaN modules from Rostec were introduced than at the end of 2014 Himalayas was added, Khibiny-M was tested in 2016 Syria and May 2018 tarantula was added the 3 high lighted EW products that were planned to have them were put on after 2014 majority of users that disagreed with this majorly seem to be from f-16.net but looking at the orlan-10 drone the jamming capabilities in terms of range were increased 3.5 times meaning no increase to antenna size which leaves the choice to better module capabilities.
If the same avionics remain than the aircraft better have a better RCS than either the F-22 or F-35 which is highly doubtful the only way this aircraft can get any better is having its MMICs replaced and since your telling me they will have the same old crap than it will be better to just abandon the whole project and use those funds for the mig-41 instead considering the amount of time. And if you want to know why I consider the ROFAR technology as you say a silver bullet and others say otherworldly I will give a grade school explanation of why I consider both of these things as possibly true. Imagine seeing a 1m2 target from 400kms away but with photonics (if the Chinese source is correct) you can be able to see a .01m2 target from 400kms away instead. RCS is measured in decibels the noise floor prevents me from seeing a target smaller than 1m2 but if that noise was a little bigger than the noise floor, than the noise or RCS can be found. Lower it 100 times more(according to Chinese source) or -20 decibels the feint signal can be better heard without the noise floor interference. And next imagine EW mmics not being able to suppress ROFAR’s radar but ROFARs EW systems can in return suppress the opposing targets radar, than yes I have the right to consider these capabilities to that of a silver bullet or otherworldly if they are indeed true. If your sticking with the GaAS AESA idea for mass production than those better be used to replace the radars on the SU-35s if they will replace them with ROFAR in 10 years because they are on a limited budget and I doubt they like to waste money especially starting this project without any good results.
