From your response, I assume you have never heard of HQ-9 in its multiple versions?
that’s what I said 20 years not 26 years. but still there is S400 import. it will be while that China can produce exportable system comparable to S300.
DT is better listening to Jack Ma advise on this
Jack Ma does not know economics. it benefit his firm but it does not mean US. DT will need crash course in economics from Putin otherwise
US already has world most expensive police force/teachers/healthcare/prison industry. reducing spending on weopons and wars will not make products competitve or decrease the need of foreign labor but create far more inflation.
on Other hand Russia can increase both domestic spending and on foreign wars and it will greatly benefit it.
Yeah there were, overlooked the non-USAF participating units.
Considering the F-35’s mission set, the access U.S. has had to early S-300 systems, I wouldn’t say it is unreasonable that the F-35 performed well against simulated threats.
so early generation give you idea about later generation S300. why Chinese imported that system continuously for 20 years?. could they not replicate from earlier systems?
Chinese are the closest who can replicate considering there vast spending on missiles and large pool of scientific graduates.
US has been building million of automobiles and still Germanic dependency from Sigmar Gabriel statement.

The US car industry would have a bad awakening if all the supply parts that aren’t being built in the US were to suddenly come with a 35 percent tariff. I believe it would make the US car industry weaker, worse and above all more expensive,” he continued
T-50 will have more than 16 suspension points internal/external, more than 10 ton load. equipped with more than Mach 4 cruise missiles.

PAKFA is a lot more complex programme. almost at 6th Generation level. built with advanced composites and titanium.
indirect way they saying that 400km is the range of AAM and only radar that can exceed that specification against stealth targets have greater range.
flexibility to hit ground targets at great distance.

In the early 2020s, Russia’s fifth-generation PAK FA fighter jet could get a photonics-based radar system using active radio-optical phased array technology (known by its Russian acronym ROFAR). It would be capable of viewing stealth aircraft at distances beyond the range of air-to-air missiles.
In practice, this means that ROFAR can produce a detailed 3D image of what is happening hundreds of kilometers away,” said Vladimir Mikheyev, advisor to KRET’s first deputy CEO. “For example, at 400 kilometers it can not only see a person, but even recognize their face.”
It would certainly help Russia leverage the Middle East with a base, but I doubt it will happen. The US and the Sunni majority would object. The Russian R&D got swallowed up by the over shrinking economy post-Soviet Union. You had about 100% more people than you do today supporting all that work. Now Russia is having trouble getting solidarity because of their heavy hand with allies. The Cold War is over, but even Russia is threatened by the rise of the dragon and the Middle East in turmoil. Russia needs to be building relationships and making better use of their own money. The US went with smart weapons for a reason, it doesn’t **** off its civilian allies as much. Indiscriminate bombing is tough for the civilian world to stomach. Even tougher for your close allies when it’s crushing them, too. The Su-34 is there to a degree, but a tad large for the amount of work. The MiG-35 is a progression there. The Su-30SM is, too. The Su-35S isn’t really a bomb dropping platform as much as the wishful thinking of the forum. All in due time, but operations is stealing from the same treasury.
It is only upto Iraki government to decide about base. Russia is increasingly using Iraki airspace for Tu-22.
It’s the quality of people not the quantity that matter. super computers, advance robots , stream line logistics , greater and much higher quality refined oil and gas sky rocket labor productivity. There is no longer Sukhoi factory in Tiblisi or IL-76 in Tashkent. Those countries are relegated to low grade service or farming. Ukraine is next in line to be stripped of Soviet technology.

Russia ready to welcome specialists of Ukraine’s Antonov enterprise
The only shortage of funds for PAKFA are those siphoned into operations. Russia lost its cash cow by using speculative trading to so overprice gas it made it affordable to by elsewhere. And then it turned out, there were deposits affordable to exploit at these new high prices. Then nature brought the price back down.
That cash is replaced by Tourism and private investments. world best stock market, low debt despite tremendous spending on construction and R&D.
If Russia was less aggressive in the Ukraine – Crimea Peninsula aside – there would have been further soothing of Cold War hostility. It’s not cheap feeding steady supplies to rebels in eastern Ukraine, nor is it to bear down on a pointless civil war in Syria. PAKFA funding sure slowed down after all that other stuff heated up.
Russia need to be much much more aggressive in Eastern EU and Middleast.
Very clear hint to Irakis for big base.

Russia ready to assist Iraq in fighting Islamic State
January 30, 15:41 UTC+3
Moscow will help Baghdad if the Iraqi government shows interest in Russia’s aid, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said
With the shootdown of the Su-24M over Turkey you also see much more push for funding of active missiles and electronic warfare pods. Syria is turning out like the impetus Beirut operations were for the U.S. If it keeps dragging out its going to be painful. And operations will only get more expensive and PAKFA further slowed.
Su-24M are reliable planes but they simply don’t have sensors and altitude/speed for protection. They need to be replaced by MIG35. PAKfA is not the solution for such operations in near future. More A-100/Tu214R and mobile airdefence.
I wouldn’t say the Asian fighters are stiff dead yet.
But yeah it seems like Turkey is all gung ho about it. They are starting from rock bottom though. This is going to be a tough project. All the ingredients. Even a transnational partnership.
One doesn’t need to look any further than the Russia/France Mistral ship deal to see how that might become a problem.
This thing will take money away from upgrades to current fleet of Turkish fighters and possibly derail F35 (loss to US manufacturing). Turkey simply cant afford two programmes at same time. On top of that failure in Syria only stronk countries are rewarded.
US carefully manage the inventory of bombs it sell to Turkey. BAE and UK will become even more dependent on US and markets that’s US control.
There were several hints at what interests Shenyang Aircraft Corporation (SAC) about the Su-35S.
1: Removal of the dorsal air-brake and using the rudders instead.
2: Removal of the Canards and TVC integration. Su-35S despite the not having canards is equal or better in maneuverability compared to Su-30SM.Edit:
It is unlikely to be targeted at the J-11B. Probably for future versions of J-11, J-16, and maybe J-15.
does MIG29OVT has canards? when it appeared. there certain things you missed it.
EJ200 engines does not have much potential beyond 23000lbs unless reliability goes down. building twin engine stealth fighter will cost even more than F35 and timeline will be even longer. Plus US government and LM will make sure this does not become successs and get funding from Middleast and without it has zero chance of getting of the ground.
And Usaf chief of staff and LoMart CEO would say about the same exact things about the F35…
I though humanity has moved away from the Ipse dictum argumentations centuries ago…
It depend on credibility of officials how much scientific and intelligence knowledge with discipline from higher ups and Russians has alot more in it once your parse it . for example on war on terror they never use words this and that country is biggest sponsor. alot more sophistication
so whats left for you to babble about.?

Sukhoi PAK-FA fifth-generation fighter jet is finalizing tests of its versatile arsenal before deployment next year. Russia’s Air Force chief says there will be no such target on the scene of operations that the fighter would not be able to engageWhen compared to American F-22 or F-35 5G fighter jets, Sukhoi PAK-FA (T-50) is going to “outperform them in all technical aspects,” the commander of the Russian Air Forces, Lieutenant General Viktor Bondarev said on Thursday.
You should take a long look at yourself before you accused FBW of lacking grasp in tender process
You have the obsession to shovel your agenda that “PAK-FA is superior to all others aircrafts in every single aspect” down to people throat. First, you tried to argue that PAK-FA have the exact same inlet configuration as YF-23. After been proven wrong , you tried to argue that exposed engine first stage will have no negative effect on stealth. Then when that doesn’t work either, you tried to argue that PAK-FA doesnot need attention to detail because it is smaller than F-22 and F-35. What more ? when i was about PAK-FA and J-20 , you pointed at those lumps under J-20 wing as the stealth deal breaker, and proudly claimed that there is no way J-20 can be stealthier than PAK-FA. At the same time,in your mind, the 2 engines making up 2 massive lumps under PAK-FA belly will be no problem for stealth. When i talked about J-20 with you, you acknowledged that shaping and detail are important. But once you start discussing about F-22, F-35 and PAK-FA with others, immediately physical size is the most important thing for stealth. Just make your aircraft 2-3% smaller and no attention to detail will be required.It is funny how you are perfectly capable of understanding that PAK-FA will be better than F-35/F-22 in certain area because of designer philosophies. But once it comes to advantages of F-35 or F-22 in certain aspect compared to PAK-FA, you immediately change your stand about design philosophy, Russian aircraft will always have to come out equal or on topFYI when people do not reply to JSR, that does not mean they agreed with him. It means he is so ridiculuous that no one care about what he has to say anymore.
actually its you to that alluding to me in every post. I am surprised you can write so much and know so little.
Well, so are the Taliban to the current Afghani regime, but that doesn’t stop Russia to deal with and potentially support them, supposedly as a partner against IS.
Russia does not support Taliban at this point unless deal with Qatar involved than it will be on the scale that current afgan government won’t last a week. Russia small arms export booming and that without opening new theatres.

The Turkish MOD and TAI are payinng for consulting services to BAE, what “money and brain drain” would this last one possibly incur?
He maybe referring to brain drain in Turkey where no one left to implement the project. You can see that poor performance of Turkey in Syria. They lack both the pilots and the bombs.
