Great news! And congrats for the effort, they’ve done it in a sunday…Hopefully some pics of the bird will be released soon.
(btw according to a post from paralay.com, seems it was Roman Kondratev who flew T-50-5)

Don’t think so, i’ve stared at that pic closely, must be a different comm antenna on the spine. It appears there’s no wingtip LWR, nor the nose MAWS apertures are visible, and nothing like that has been seen in pictures or footage of the K/KUB under construction.

So what do these figures mean? UAC to deliver 27 aircraft this year, 35 in 2014, and 51 in 2015. Are they referring to fighters only, in which case, are they refering to ALL deliveries (MiG-29K/SMT, Su-30SM/M2, Su-35, Su-27SM3) or just Sukhois, or what?

The 27 figure for this year seems fairly low, shouldn’t there be something like “some” Su-30M2/Su-27SM3, 12 Su-35S, 12 Su-30SM, 14 Su-34 and 4 MiG-29K to be delivered?

On another note, 3 more Yak-130 delivered (borts 58, 59, 60 apparently)

The picture on the second page is supposed to represent the first MiG-29KUB for the Russian Navy, but it appears to be PS-ed for some reason. Come on MiG, you can do better than that, take some good pictures of the thing and show them like KnAAZ does!

PS: I might be mistaken about PS, looks better when you zoom in…

So when is the first Super-30 supposed to fly, i know it’s 2014 but is it the beginning of the year or the end ? Thanks.

I will only say this, imo all this “China puts pressure/complaints/cries blablah ” is pure and absolute rubbish. Propaganda coming from various anti-chinese, US sponsored and incited corners. I mean, think with your brain (if you have one) for a bit. On one hand, you have CHINA, one of world’s 3 superpowers, with a superb military, with thousands of aircraft, quality and capabilities increasing every day. On the other hand you have Phillippines and…12 poor LIFTs. Do you think the chinese really CARE about those combat capable trainers? They wouldn’t care even if they’d buy 120 of them, not 12…
