In what thread on mycity-military that picture has been posted Acatomic ? Thanks.
According to the link:
Analizirali smo i četiri motora svetskih marki: „snecma“, „rolce-royce“, GD,„pratt & whitny“
He is talking about NA not NA-LIFT, it is not known what engine the LIFT version will use.
I also checked the article that GrM sourced from and it is actually Croatian, speculative and questioning how Serbia could do such a thing.
Check again 😉 http://www.politika.rs/rubrike/tema-dana/Srbija-na-krilima-supersonika.sr.html
Let me just add that LIFT means “Lead in Fighting Trainer”, range is 3.500 km and one more photo:

Ground clutter isn’t an issue for modern missile guidance, and only comes into play if the target is flying so low that terrain prematurely activates the missile’s proximity fuze. This would require the target to be flying 3-4 meters above terrain.
The memory within digital guidance computers allows the latest ECCM techniques to be uploaded as the missile is removed from the shipping container and fins are bolted in place. With 2-way data links and off-board data processing, missiles will become increasingly difficult to soft kill.
What about modern SAM-s (big ones)?
…. would go any further than listening politely & then saying ‘Sorry, but no’, to any proposal for them to fund a Serbian supersonic trainer.
It would be more a UAE supersonic trainer then Serbian.
@ Fedaykin
Unofficially “Kobac” is financed by a foreign country (buyer), and i guess they are trying to do the same thing here with this supersonic trainer.

I didn’t read the russian side 😮 I think we can count this one as a translation error.
I think you are confused about what role the Pak-Fa is meant for..
The Pak-Fa do not need such A2G sensor package as you try to smear all over it.
Take a look at what other assets VVS has for A2G role, long range stand-off and all the way to CAS role.
If you think the Pak-Fa will carry a big A2G targeting/sensor Pod, so be it.. i cant help you..
F-35 EOTS can be (and will be) used for A2A 😉 http://www.lockheedmartin.com/content/dam/lockheed/data/mfc/pc/f-35-lightning-ii-electro-optical-targeting-system-etos/mfc-f-35-eots-pc.pdf
And Pak-Fa’ pod (101-KS-N) can be used for “aerial targets tracking” (second picture) http://www.militaryphotos.net/forums/showthread.php?149828-Sukhoi-T-50-PAK-FA&p=6051446&viewfull=1#post6051446
Found by sasans23@mycity-military:
По его словам, в ходе дальнейших испытаний Су-35С планируется снизить длину разбега до 200-250 м за счет использования специальных приспособлений.
Источник также отметил, что «обучать» Су-35С взлету с грунтовых взлетно-посадочных полос пока не планируется.According to him, in the course of further testing of the Su-35 is planned to reduce the length of the run-up to 200-250 m by the use of special tools.
The source also said that “teach” Su-35s take off from unpaved runways is not planned.

Is that a tablet computer on his leg?

I’ll stick with what Flateric said ;), plus we keep neglecting external hard points 🙂
😎
I have a engineering question.
Based on information that there’ll be 4 missiles/bombs i MWB, would it make sense to put a wall in the middle of WB, to make the whole thing more rigid?
Like this:
no. 4 missiles/bombs in the MWBs
Thanks 🙂
@ flateric
Nice
I wonder if they could use a adaptor (something like APU-60-2) to squeeze in more missiles?
As I remember correctly, there was video presentation on MAKS 2011 showing PAK FA carrying 4 Kh-58USHKE missiles in its main weapon bays.
Correct. Moreover, T-50 MWB size literally was driven by size that KTRV could shrink X-58 to, being a subject of many cabinet battles.
What else was shown in this video presentation?
Seems a bit um… dangerous allowing buses to drive under it, all you need is for someone to clip the wing and photo oppourtunity presents itself! lol
Bus(es) are part of the escort. You can see it in this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lS9GSVGO7yo
