very nice!!

Did someone post this video?

I don’t remember…

Thanks a lot !!

Are there any signs or news on starting weapons trials on any of the 5 prototypes? Would that be kept secret for a while? In other words, do you suppose, the new missiles, and launchers are being already tested on one of the birds?

I’m a bit confused with BUK-M2 upgrades and BUK-M3 to come. As a medium range SAM, where does it belong with Pantsir, Vityaz, and S-300/400/500 systems being already confirmed as backbone short/medium/long range SAMs?

also, i had a good link before, but i can’t find it anywhere anymore about current Russia’s SAM air defences layers, and comparison.

thanks in advance

interesting monochrome markings choice. Any more if overhaul will include upgrades, and which specific ones? Any new weapons systems, or radar upgrades?

thanks.

Jo Asakura, i think you are a bit out of line and over reacting. Nobody is attacking you nor offending, and I am surprised you find what FalconDude wrote insulting.

I happen to agree with both of you on the last couple of posts.

On the end, lab tested theories vs. practical world (in this case air warfare) are two different worlds when it comes to F-22 and T-50 designs and technologies used. Then you also have preferred tactics as part of the equation of the design.

We can only go as far as look, read and debate about little that is available and actually released. No reason to get angry though 🙂

Thank you for your links!

final product. there are five production models in active service with the Russian marines and one being built for the navy aviation. Because of the French deal with Mistral, the Pak-fa can also shoot MICA missiles, one of which was credited for a kill in the Georgian war.

???
Why would you write this? I don’t get it.

as for it being a final product, yest, I agree it is final as far as outside shape is concerned.
Will there be shape modifications to increase stealth in the future model M maybe. Very likely, which we will get used to in about 8-10 years.
