On the forefather of this missile, the R-37, where does the “booster” go to make it a R-37M and gain 100 km in range?
it’s not R-37M in new incaration, it’s likely R-37M Light. KTRV states 200 km range for RVV-BD
3-Both
(this is not a guess)
zillion pics of T-50 will be made on upcoming week, so you will surely see proof of that
This is just the R-37 renamed RVV-BD right?
of course not
On the other hand, the RVV-SD does not look that different from the R-73 externally.
you are missing up RVV-MD (short range) with RVV-SD (medium range)
AIM-9L/M doesn’t look much different from AIM-9A externally, no?
that’s official:
– 4 RVV-SD in central bays (2 per bay)
– fast bays only can hold one RVV-MD per bay
– RVV-BD can be carried in central bays, number is unclear (4 fits)
last demo flights have proven the theory that LEVCONs can be differintialy operated while maneuvering
apart of aerobatics, needless to say how useful it will be in low-altitude terrain following mode penetration (last being clearly mentioned in T-50 FBW specifications)
How cool would it be if the pilot can simply engage a “stealth mode” and the aircraft trim itself to mask most of the air intakes..:)
your phrase is correct, you only need to replace ‘air intakes’ with ‘jet nozzles’
Funny part about the F-22, as the Raptor fleet is currently grounded.
I hardly can imagine F-22 ever be sent to Russia for airshow
funny part (un-traslated) is the ‘Americans decided to take formal participation in the airshow just to have ability to see T-50, according to opinion of sources in Russian aerospace industry’
of course one need to send 12 military aircrafts, Dreamliner (that’s, of course, ‘formal’) and bunch of staff to have ability to access the same area that other can enter for twenty bucks:D
T-50 model was under sealed canvas today
Is that an installation purely for the displays?
purely for tests
T50-2 finally did its first flight at LII today

i thought perhaps Priority ticket had some special footage view site
niyet, tovarich! in this case, you need to pay 9000 RUR moar for access to the media-pod from the other side of runway (per day)
If not i will go by normal price ticket sinse i do not have money to burn.
you’ve disappointed him…
