Iam not sure about the number but TBH, i think any smart person would take information from Sputnik, RT or Fox news with load of salt, just a bunch of propaganda channels really.
It rather laughable naive to believe that good and bad in reality is as clear as black and white

Its a real number. CNN admitted it.

Propaganda is an over-used word these days. Back in the real cold war, there was an ideological difference. Communism vs capitalism. Russia is just as much , if not more capitalist than the US and just as metropolitan as the US now so the word propaganda does not fit for either side.

Canards on J-20, IRST on PAK-FA, exterior rim on canopy.

So you are claiming that the Pak Fa is not stealth because of the exterior rim on a prototypes canopy.

I think you are assuming a head-on shot.

Btw, “sleek efficient design” has little to do with making an effective RCS, just ask the F-117.

Do you have any profile comparisons to make that claim that the F-35 has a larger frontal profile than the T-50 (like this)?

[ATTACH=CONFIG]2TTACH]

How is that not true ? A lower profile will have a lower RCS. To use an extreme example, are you saying that a stealth F 35 will have a lower RCS than a non stealth F 15 remote control replica ? The replica will have a lower RCS

Not at all, I am well aware of the mistakes made by the U.S. and know the price that family and friend have paid serving abroad in a conflict without end.

So, in essence, you are both claiming that the media and governments of all the nations listed, including your nominal ally of India, are lying about the this?
None of what I posted is incorrect. I see some Russian posters blinded by their own propaganda blitz, readily swallowing any negative story about the west, and parroting the state propaganda machine no matter how outrageous the lie. In truth, it is not due to any anti-Russian bias that I am engaged in what I know will be a pointless discussion with some of you.
It is the opposite, I don’t, and the majority of educated Americans did not view Russia as an adversary (at least until very recently). Hence the disbelief at reading the state media stories generated in Russia about the U.S.

RT is the most viewed international news channel on Youtube by a large margin. Do you think its based on fake views ? If so, why doesn’t CNN or Fox just crank up the fake view machine ?

well, nice to see that the state information warfare blitz is convincing it’s target audience. Those “average joe” comments, and tweets could be generated right down the street from you. I have to say, the Russian disinformation apparatus is truly and effective weapon in the social media age. The western nations have really been losing this war they didn’t know they were fighting. Will be a interesting footnote in history someday. It is frightening, there is no way that western governments can counter the a state controlled media/disinformation/propaganda machine. Kudos.

It really boggles my mind that people actually believe the “Russia troll bot” conspiracy theory. Nothing fails the Occams Razor test like the “troll bot” story.

Social media is owned and operated by the west and it is sympathetic to its views of the world. Just today:

Twitter Suspends Account Of Conservative Law Professor “Instapundit” Over Charlotte Tweet

Conclusion is irrelevant. A failed jumbo facing difficulties to penetrate the market only imparts this market and not its competitor’s products. The market segment is narrow so the effect might look devastating but they are not. Sadly Boeing has to hold its breath and wait that the smoke of Airbus failure fades away.
There is still a market for a plane like the 747.

Looks like Boeing made the right call opting for a smaller high tech jet

Fresh MiG-31BSM.

fastest jet in service in the world ?

Isn’t that a waste of resource to use a state of the art fighter for aerobatic display? It’s like the USAF using the F-22s for its Thunderbirds.

Its 4.5 gen so no. It wouldn’t be like that.

They want to show strength and pride. Its money well spent and its not the first time.

Russian Jet Team Shocks The World By Showing Up In New SU-30SM Flankers http://foxtrotalpha.jalopnik.com/russian-falcons-jet-team-shocks-by-showing-up-in-new-su-1651171036

Yesterday in Krasnoyarsk, the lesser known of Russia’s three jet fighter display teams surprised crowds by showing up in six of most advanced variations of the Sukhoi Flanker series jets in the world, the super maneuverable SU-30SM.

Setting up the relatively young (est. 2006) Russian Falcons display team with one of Russia’s most advanced fighters seems to be just another in a series of planned moves to showcase Russia’s growing military might to the world and to spur nationalistic sentiment at home. At the same time, aviation aficionados should be excited as this new enhanced Flanker six ship display will undoubtedly become more dynamic as the team continues to become accustomed with their new hardware and hones their routine.
