it is an Aermacchi design for an original russian requirement
It’s Yakovlev’s design. At least an airframe design and overall configuration of the plane. And it has been done years before Aeromacchi join the program in 1993, during the Soviet period – in 1990-1991. Actually, this clever aerodynamical design was the exact reason – why Italians joined the project.
So, yes – it’s a Russian design, in its basis.
Ah yes, as usual it is the propaganda soaked brains of Russians who would know better than those who actually lived there… :applause:
I lived there too – in Belorussia and Moldova. And i repeat again, it’s a bull**** – about the “brutal occupation”. Brutal occupation was in 1941-1944, it has been done by the West, particularly Nazi Germany and its multiple vassales and collaborators: Finland, Romania, Italy, Hungary, Croatia, Slovakia, Bulgaria, Vichy’s France, Quisling’ Norway and others. And only Soviet Union managed to stop this bloodshed conveyor, through insane sacrifices of our people. But, of course, people in Europe now don’t like to remember these historical facts.
USSR occupied Baltic states? Yes. Was this a brutal occupation? No. You, guys, simply don’t know – what is a “brutal occupation”. Ask jews or ex-Soviets – we know what is it and we remember who did this with us.
and Estonian Soviet Socialist Republic,Lithuanian Soviet Socialist Republic ,Latvian Soviet Socialist Republic and so on , that does not change the fact that before 1991 those were countries /nations /territories occupied by Russia.Many in Easter Europe feel threatened by increasingly nationalistic ,autocratic Russia .We in Easter Europe remember our history well and history of Russian (empire) often brutal occupation/ domination .
Brutal occupation?! What brutal occupation? May be you mean German brutal occupation, when around 40 000 000 people in Europe died for 5 years, 27 000 000 of those were Soviet people? I think you just don’t understand what you’re talking about.
Gentlemen, just don’t forget that only radar gives you a solid fire solution. RWR gives only approximate direction to the threat. IRST will provide relatively accurate azimuth and angle of elevation on target, but again – it won’t give you the range, and thus, a solid fire solution.
Threat to all that countries Russia occupied /dominated only 25 years ago ,like Ukraine ,Latvia ,Lithuania ,Estonia … to name a few .
Before 1991, there was no such a country – Ukraine. There was only Ukrainian Soviet Socialistic Rupublic(USSR, do not counfuse with Soviet Union’s abbreviation).

Integral characteristics effective area reflecting of target. effective area reflecting / эффективная площадь рассеивания (ЭПР) – RCS
Вероятность обнаружения падает с ростом ЭПР?! Где ты взял эту потешную мурзилку?!
ENG: Detection probability decrease with RCS increase?! Where you have taken this funny pic?!
How is that? because i quoted the russian MOD?
I think that was
Russians on the other hand claim that the convoy caught fire by itself… Sure, sure.
Not by itself but set on fire on its way from Aleppo.

the j-31, designed for export, could be a good mig-29 replacement for the russians
What?! Another one twin-engine LFI??? Thanks, but NO. MIG-29 was enough failure so we’re not going to repeat this mistake again. After all, today we’re not rich enough for this kind of “experiments”.
Schizophrenic digital SLR:
Excuse me, what is SLR?
Apologies if it has already been answered but does the Russian Air Force operate any foreign designed and built aircraft?
Czech L-39 and L-410.
