Hmmm…Su-35S falling behind schedule ? Did Zelin really said those things ? (about Su-35’s systems vs it’s amerikanski counterparts ) :confused:

So let me get this straight..
The T-50-01 has what, some 40-50 test flights so far and is allready entering Spin recovering proceedures..

I think it’s closer to 70.:)
Some news quoting that figure ( as of mid june, btw), i know there’s a specific bit of news quoting that figure for about mid june on Sukhoi.org, i’ll look for it and post the link, if need be.

Ooops…aparently all F-35s grounded again …IPP failure on AF-4.

Wasn’t AF-4 the same one involved in the earlier auxiliary power pack failure?
PS: Earlier failure news ( march 9th)

Didn’t know that Chinese Su-27UBKs were wired for R-77. That means there must have been some radar updates, right?

Ummm…aren’t those Su-30MKKs?
PS: I stand corrected , i see the RWR antenna on the intake side now.

If what i’m reading on the chinese orintated forums is correct , then J-20 2002 should be a static airframe, while the next flying airframe should be 2003, at end of 2011 or begining 2012? ( think it was mentioned 2003 might even have the radar , the chinese EODAS type system and even new engines- i hope i’m not mixing things up )

Thanks.:)

J20 with J10B, actually the J20 is not that big

Of course not, it’s not the 80,000lb F-111 class behemont bomber (OMG to bomb Taiwan and Japan and the american carriers bwahahahhaha!!!) that some completely out of reality ( and lacking basic observation skills!) western writers and even some members here believe.

if some one orders a MiG-35 at MAKS, I’ll punch a puppy and kick a kitten, just for you!!!

What’s the matter, affraid to pick someone your own size? :confused:

I know i keep asking, BUT …where are the two MiG-35 demonstrators atm ? Haven’t seen anything about then in, well, very long time.

IMHO i see two possibilities …either they’re languishing somewhere on an airfield or hangar maybe OKB’s… in which case maybe Hotdog is right. But not a pic or piece of information nothing anywhere ?

OR… they are in Akhtyubinsk doing serious testing ( weapons and electronics ) in which case the programe is not so dead.;) Since it seems not a single soul (read spotters etc ) can get even close to Akhtyubinsk without permission, maybe their absence is in a way sort of good news for the programme?

Really looking forward to (as a “fanboy” :D), but of course whenever it’s ready and safe for it to fly, that’s when it should fly. Fanboys can wait.:)

Speaking of which, did “51” flew lately ? ( i meen last 2-3 weeks ?). Thanks.
