GusMac Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 Didn't I see it reported somewhere recently that they've pulled the plug on this as it wasn't particularly stealthy at all and was too expensive? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martinnfb Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 Yes, there was a confusing statement from Minister of Defence who recently stated that Su-35 are good enough, so there is no need for 5th gen. fighter, yet Lipetsk airbase is getting dozen next year. It looks like this is going to be a stepping stone for the next generation of pilotless fighters. Russians might skip a step here, but do not quote me on that. It is strictly my personal speculation. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HubertB Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 It sure seems to lack some of the features of a totally stealth aircraft, from my beotian eye ... But it is a pretty impressive airframe nonetheless. And looking good. Hubert 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GazzaS Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 It looks good. But is it sidewinder prüf? Gaz 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1to1scale Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 So they have a stealth aircraft with a huge belly tank and normal burners. I wonder if he will ever even know why his plane blew up without and blips on his radar screen? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martinnfb Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 The concept of a stealth aeroplane is quite obsolete, so as the maneuverability aspect of it . Interceptor developments are heading back to it's basics, altitude and speed. Very soon pilots won't be sitting it the cockpit at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter No kidding, sometimes I think if we went back in with old technology, and I mean old....we might take them by surprise..................what do you suppose the Taliban would so if the saw a couple squadrons of Beaufighters, Typhoons, and Mosquitoes low and fast spitting hot steel at them?? They would probably stop in their tracks and look in wonderment seconds before they met their 70 odd virgins, not knowing what the Hell just happened...... THAT would be a kick in the nads eh? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterpools Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 Jeff Great idea. A few squadrons of Skyraiders and Corsairs would be wonderful for the mix Peter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martinnfb Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 To play the devil's advocate, I believe that the 5th. generation fighter is a swan song for piloted jets, no more heroes and tallies on the tails anymore. Let us get ready for drones and digital creepiness 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
