There is an important news about F-15 and the future of the Usaf.Usa is planning to get 381 f-22 Raptors and 1763 F-35 aircrafts.Do you think can Rusaf get 2144 PAK-FA before it’s service life.I read a news today Rusaf will get five su-34 aircrafts in 2008.What do you think the production speed about Russian facilities.I’m sure PAK-FA will be a very advanced aircraft and I’m also waiting to see it but will it get enough funds from the goverment and how many PAK-FA will produce per year?
The U.S. is carrying out a gradual replacement of its F-15s with the new F-22 fighters. What might be Russia’s response?
Russia’s response to it already exists and we have talked about such aircraft as Su-30 and Su-35. These models also have “stealth” elements. If we compare F-22 with Su-27, “Raptor”, as F-22 is called in the U.S., often outperforms Su-27, but Su-30 and Su-35 surmount F-22, in their turn, even in terms of “stealth” elements. As you remember, it is “stealth” technology, which distinguishes F-22 from its predecessor, F-15, but almost all radars in Russia can easily find F-22. Thus, I think money spend on modernisation of F-15 were just thrown away. As far as avionics are concerned, Su-30 and Su-35 can compete with F-22 anywhere in every situation. For instance, Major General Kharchevsky have conducted 8 mock air combats in the U.S. and won all of them.
