What a valuable and knowledgeable contributor you are. Nothing better then people plastering off topic, immature and petty posts. Feel free to criticize, if you have valid points but don’t waste bandwidth. I’m sure your buddy got banned the other day for the same type of repeated trolling. You...

I think emotional, jealous troll is a good name for you :lol:

Where is talk of capabilities, who is talking? Most people here are only discussing the aircraft’s size, price, engines, payload and export potential, much of which has been confirmed by the manufacturers anyways. The things relating to cost, size and so fourth are basic things aviation...

What is the joke? Do you have something to add or are you that desperate for attention? Move along and stop spamming you know nothing about this aircraft and your opinions are not important.

Medium and light aircraft is subjective especially by country but generally speaking it appears to be a medium sized aircraft, with decent length but overall light weight and somewhat narrow fuselage. With that said it has excellent range, affordability, ‘stealth’ qualities, and customization. I...

A quick comparison with the F-22, note the smooth tapered blending for RCS reduction around the control surfaces of both aircraft. A lot of attention to detail especially on the first prototype. Usually refined RCS reduction is implemented on much later prototypes. Some ‘stealth’ aircraft don’t...

It’s real, it is supposedly the same airframe that will take flight. It’s just not fully ready or converted to fly yet.

I’m not sure how you are able to conclude the MMI is from the SU-35. How would anyone even know how the MMI of the SU-35 works anyways, unless you are a pilot or engineer? In the presentation they mentioned the aircraft has artificial intelligence. Even old Mig-29s were able to land without the...

The F-35 has literally the same style displays. The interfaces can be changed into a dozen different configurations for what suits the pilot and mission. The pilot can choose to not even have those gauges and instead opt for radar information and navigation or weapons status. Everything is...

That is because there is an EOTS on the right side. Hopefully they will center it later.

Best close up of the cockpit yet. A little deviation...I’m interested to see the new helmet go into service, it’s supposed be similar to the F-35 helmet, in that it can see through the aircraft. Anyways a lot parallels to the F-35 in terms of cockpit, EOTS, and helmet. Let’s see the actual...

Calm down and relax.

Why does it bother you? Just don’t post if it does not interest you. Plenty of other people find this interesting. Like it or not India purchases equipment from Russia and even works closely on projects with Russia so this aircraft is important...regardless of your personal distaste or your...

This is not a J-20 thread. However the J-20 definitely is not some superior aerodynamic design. The J-20 uses ventral fins, it’s just an extra source of drag that also increases RCS, no other ‘stealth’ aircraft has any ventral fins. The fuselage is also extremely broad (wide and tall) again...

At first I thought the intake was pretty ugly but I sort of like it now. I understood why they designed it that way (I think). I really like how it uses components from the SU-57 such as wings and radar to drive cost down, make it more modular and easier to work on. It’s a radical new design...

I’m don’t believe I'm over simplifying anything. It’s evident the new Sukhoi barrows technology from the SU-57. The experience from the SU-57/S-70 programs, proven technology, availability of interchangeable parts, established production lines and modern computing will make this aircraft more...

I don’t think it’s an exact equivalent though. If AMCA is built then India can progress and develop somewhat of a parallel program like a heavy class stealth aircraft to compliment the AMCA. So far India has the Tejas which it can use some technology and know how in the AMCA. Still it’s...

Yes it takes time to develop a new aircraft but as I stated earlier years of development has been shaved off from using existing technology from the SU-57 which took years to develop and perfect. Sukhoi already has experience with the SU-57 and S-70 Okhotnik so a lot of that know how was used...

That angle reminds me a lot of the YF-23, although the two aircraft share little in common. In another forum someone suggested the S-70 Sukhoi may have helped in aiding in the development and helping reduce the cost. Sukhoi certainly used their knowhow from both aircraft. So we have many mature...

I never gave my opinions on timelines, but yes what is floating around is optimistic but doable, I believe. As unrealistic as the timeline seems to some it actually may be possible. Many of the components of this aircraft are shared with the SU-57 such as engine (same or similar), vertical...
