So tommorrow T50-4 will fly to Novosibirsk and T50-4 will fly to one of the checkpoint airfields 1 day at a time or will it later fly to next airbase refuel and fly to next airbase in 1 day,I think the first scenario of flying from 1 airbase to another in 1 day and fly to next airbase the next day is more likely but not sure if thats how they plan it?

Today, it is Domna
This is the first long-distance flight in the history of the PAK FA, there is no reason to risk. I think it will fly all the way to subsonic speed. Flight range of the T-50 without external fuel tanks – 3000 km.

?

So the new VK-2500 engine is the same as Klimov TV3-117 engine but now fully produced in Russia instead of Ukraine,are there any improvements to the original engine?
So nobody knows how many of each Ka52,Mi28 and Mi35 were made and delivered to Russian VVS in 2012?????????
Are there still 19 serial production Ka52 or more?

So now already the Ka52 and Mi28N are being mass produced with the new VK-2500 engine? The Klimov TV3-117 engines were very good and rated at 2200hp each,whats the hp rating of the new VK-2500 engine?
So now the max speed,acceleration,service seeling and high altitude performace in mountain regions and max weapons load charactersitics have increased on the Ka52 and Mi28N?

Those are still very good prices for these 2 excellent attack helos and westen/US helos are much more overpriced.It is a good idea to produce both as is being done as combined output of Kamov and Mill will replenish Russian Army avaition twice as fast.
Is Mil likely to fix the vibration issue anytime soon and is it likely future production Mi28 will finally get the mast radar?

Also how many Mi28N were made or delivered to Russian VVS in 2012?

Ka-52 around $27-28mil, Mi-28N around $20mil (I suspect without radar).
AFAIK, the radar works but suffers from poor MTBF due to excessive vibrations.

Ka 52

Isn’t the current production rate of Ka 52 somewhere from 10-12 per year based on production figures from 2011? Where are all those Ka 52 made in 2012,haven’t been much news or pictures of them unlike the very well documented Su 34 deliveries?

No of course.

Good question about Ka-52’s, on top of my head i can only recall seeing one this year. (new that is)

Its avionics were updated and even at 30 years old the Mi 26 is still way better than anything the west or US has and Mi 26 is the leader in its class by a wide margin still.
Also how many Ka 52 were manufactured in 2012 or delivered to Russian VVS in 2012? How many $ is the Russian VVS paying for a single Ka 52, around $16 million per unit?

Mi-26T is for the civilian and export market, right? The latest batch for the Russian VVS doesn’t seem to be a later model such as the Mi-26M (was it ever build?) but I can’t believe that they get the same model that entered service now 30 years ago.

Has T50-4 been painted yet and when will it fly to Zhukovzky or is it going to fly straight to that other airfield for March VVS trails? I hope they won’t waste time again by dismatling it and ferring it in an AN 124?

J 20 is very big,fat and long for a fighter even in the heavy fighter class,its empty weight whould almost certainly be 50,000lb+ and its wing loading whould be very high and heavy because of its small wings and wing area even with the canards. I am confused is it confirmed that J20 is longer than 21 meters?
