Russian semiconductor and electronics industry is sure making some noteworthy progress (though they keep shooting themselves in the foot all the time), sadly the technology in “the West” progresses even faster.

In one aspect, however, the Russians are ahead of the U.S., and that is they make almost optimum use of what they have. Which is not the case in the U.S. (not even talking Europe here …).

Much of that progress is irrelevant to military hardware needs.

What evidence do you have to counter his claim?

I’m not the one making any claims here. If you make a claim, you back it up, or you are not taken seriously. Anything else you need clarified?

Electronics is an area which the Russian aviation really lacks behind.

Just like so many, you spew out this BS like a parrot. :rolleyes:

I don’t like the solution though.

Seems like a performance compromise. . . when the T-50 should have this as the undisputed strong point.

Guys, let’s just face it. Kapedani is far more knowledgeable than the thousands of UAC staff that worked on this jet. Their brainpower couldn’t come close to what Kapedani can infer from the images displayed here. Billions of dollars and engineering training simply cannot defeat Kapedani’s genuine expertise at the topic.

The PAK-FA is nothing more than a fancy looking Super Hornet. With Commodore-64 level computing power on board.
