It may or may not be increased but we have no confirmation of it , right now its just Putins statement which could mean any thing could easily mean 8 -10 Yasen and 8 modernised Akula 971M or could mean 16 Yasen

It is new nuclear attack submarines.

No way SAP 20 Trillion Roubles is just for Weapons purchase it more likely the defence budget for 2011-2020 with 70 % being allocated for capital purchase and 30 % for Maintenance and Salary that is what i read in an article and it makes sense.

There is another 3 trillion rouble for industrial development , SY/Factory upgrade repair

There is no salary component & maintainance component in SAP.

In 2011 budget was about $72b.
http://www.themoscownews.com/russia/20120417/189640006.html

In 2012 Salaries for most become double to triple. 2012 budget once year finishes will be in $90b. 2013 25% increase. Your looking over $120b.
In 2020 defence budget will be closer to $300b.
just 2017-2020 total defence budget will be closer to $850b.

JSR we will have to wait and see if the news of 16 Multipurpose Submarine is true the original plan was for 8 Borei SSBN and 8-10 Yasen.

The SAP program is not entirely procurement its 70:30 ratio where 70 % is for procurement and 30 % for Maintenance/Salary etc

I dont see why it should not be increased. Nuclear subs have long endurance , speed and with automation less crew required compared to gas/diesel powered ships.
newer cruise missiles make land and ship attack possible from long ranges. Any oil spike in future will so many ships unaffordable. There is no mention of maintainance/salary in SAP.

Of course, refined aerodynamic, better FCS, TVC and possible better weight distribution make SU-35S much more maneuverable plane than SU-27, but 2 tone empty weight increase would degrade some of its performance.
I hope that empty plane weights no more than 17500kg.

17.5tons is too heavy for Su-35.
See 15 ton F-18E has 2300km range from 6.5ton fuel.
Straight multiplication of fuel increase will give 4050km range for F-18E.
increase weight of F-18E by 10% (about 1.5tons) to 16.5tons. and reduce the range of 4050km by 10% will give 3600 range.
16.5ton is more reasonable figure considering stronger engines than baseline Su-27. and it proves in low altitude flight. 1580km range.

The “yanks” could only afford 180+ F-22s in the end, despite the USAF’s huge budget. How many T-50s and J-20s will the Russians and Chinese be able to afford in the end?

Public debt to GDP is low. and banking system is not exposed to bad loans. see equipment budget untill 2015 can be financed by banks with out taking money from main defense budget.

if 600 combat are built before 2020. than only T-50 will be built after 2020. my estimate is there will be more T-50 than Flankers.

Why is the cost of an initial LRIP batch F-35 paid by the US DoD in 2012 relevant? By the time large scale dliveries of F-35 to European nations are underway, the quoted unit cost will be a lot lower. Have a look the cost history of programs like C-17 for example.

quoted price of F-35 will depend on alot of factors. C-17 was developed in low inflationary environment of 1990s. A400M not.

I dont see any one forming operational squardon of F-35 in EU before 2020.
The problem is when host nations stop buying EF. It will raise the price of new fighters for export. See M2000 & Tornado examples.

UK slashes F-35B numbers but might look to split buy with F-35As

If so, it probably will exceed the T-50 in both range and internal payload. A little depressing to think about from an Indian POV…

Word is, as with the PAK FA the AL-31 won’t be the ‘final engine’. Assuming the WS-xx that replaces it is successful, it should take care of the weight problem.

J-20 has small wing area relative to its size. No spacing between engines and with duck like profile. weight and drag will kill its range.
It is more in F-18E/EF/F-22 class (that is big if ) interms of range than Su-35.
why do u think onle one or two are flying and it does not have complexity of TVC.

looks almost 1.5 times wider from the front. just look at the canopy area. it will be very heavy stuff.

Your comments don’t make sense to me. The EU banking system doesn’t work now but Airbus seems to have no problems selling the A320. What alternative assembly lines are you talking about?

EU banking system works otherwise debt wont be increasing.

No? After Airbus announced the A320NEO (incorporating new engine technology) they received 1000+ orders in less than a year. The A320NEO became the fastest selling jet airliner in the history of aviation.

Even start up airlines in dead economy like Japan can get lease.

IF you look at net income for first half for EADS. it is not that much. You simply cannot fund new complex projects with this small NI figure. They will have to go back to banks or Government for new projects.

http://www.businessweek.com/news/2012-07-27/eads-profit-almost-doubles-on-airbus-even-after-a350-charge
First-half net income rose to 594 million euros, or 73 cents a share, from 109 million euros, or 13 cents, a year earlier, the company said. Six analysts surveyed by Bloomberg News had estimated a figure of 497 million euros

Russian and soon Chinese will copy it as long as aircrafts are certified.

“You create a system of sale financing for the aircraft you’re manufacturing,” Pogosyan said in an interview, speaking through an interpreter. “We’re actively working on creating an export agency in the same way as in the Western countries.”

In the U.S., the Export Import Bank guarantees bank loans to some airlines outside the U.S. to help support job creation at home. France, Germany, the U.K. and Spain also have export credit agencies to help support sales of Airbus planes.
