‘elections’ are in March, 2012Regarding my earlier statement that T50-3 won’t be flying earlier than 2012:
Russian version of interview with NIIP’s Yuri Beliy for Vzlet(Take-Off) magazine was taken on October, 2010 and published soon after. English edition was published later, already in February of next, 2011 year, and has snippet of NIIP installation of AESA on T50-3 in the ‘beginning of next year’ omitted in Russian version.
Now you see what was the mistake.Moreover, this year you’ll see real surprise from Sukhoi.

Any idea what happened to this so called surprise from Sukhoi (since it was supposed to be this year and the year is almost ending?
Is it postponed or cancelled?
And im also clearly remember that during MAKS-2011 had mentioned “the real show will start before the 2012” and i really wonder what it is? Or the show is delayed?:)

At an air base in southern Krymsk Military District arrived four Su-27SM3
looks like things are heating up again and they be killin each other again.
in the last war in 1988-94.. Armenia kicked the derriere of Azerbaijan big time, they’re like baby Israels.
Armenia slaughtered Azeri MiG-25s, MiG-21’s, and Su-25s.
Armenia only lost 1 mig-21 and some Mi-24s.But things have changed
Azerbaijan’s GDP is now $94 billion, its per capita income is over $10000
its military budget in 2011 is $4 billionArmenia is not even half of that. GDP is $16 billion, per capita income $5000
military budget, $386 millionSince then, Azeri’s bought late models S-300’s, more MiG-29s, upgraded Mi-24’s by south Africa, and in the process of getting T-84’s from Ukraine, Namer IFV from Israel, JF-17s from Chinastan, and Israeli upgraded T-72s
but they retired their MiG-25s which are easy targets.in contrast Armenia got some S-300s..and that’s about it.
could perhaps the Ottoman Jrs finally defeat the land of Agassi, Mikoyan, and the Kardashians?
Will the Russians come save the Armenians? will Turkey help Azerbaijan?
Will Georgia use this time to spank Ossetia with the distraction?
I like mostly Chinastan made JF-17s 😀 Probably Azerbaijan army is more powerful and they have more money but there are other factors, that nobody wants they war with..!
Flateric any info about, did the factory acceptance tests over or will it take more time because of the radar complex? Is it planning to start weapon trials with T 50-3? And the last question, when is it expected to Sergei Bogdan takes to the control of the T50-4:)
The Su-35 complaints are more like Zelin trolling.
I don’t think it is an trolling
Also it is worth pointing out that the Russian development on Avionics has infact made great progress in the 5 last years.
I still get hints of the same old ‘Russia make crap from Avionics like during the cold war bla bla bla’..
But as you know there are still some complains about the industry’s most advanced serial fighter Su-35! There are big expectations from the PAK-FA! When I compare the cockpits of the PAK-FA and F-35 also there is a big difference about the graphics and the feeling that you have an ultra high tech machine! I know it doesn’t change the capabilities of the aircraft but…
A Gripen pilot claimed it could easily be touted as a 10g fighter,
but it depends entirely on altitude
As far as I know a pilot can just manage with 9G or 10G. Is it wrong?
Well India can always withdraw if it’s not happy and join the F-35 fray so it could get the stealthy nozzles and single piece canopy 😀
Good sense of humour 😀
The first six of the latest bombers Su-34 will soon go into service of the Air Forces of Russia, said Tuesday the head of the press service of the Western Military District, Colonel Andrey Bobrun.
I think they will post in the near future, but firstly waiting for the pictures…
