This is even more funny considering that they are super duper highly integrated and almost invisible things that came out of scifi vs rusty Russian medieval 400. Point about being able to sell something is not directly proportional to best products available.....this is evident in many aspects...

USAF for all its skyhigh budget does not have 70% uprate anymore in any of its services....this si the result of making things too complex. In general strategic assets are desired to be at 90% ready availability and rest vary based on wartime vs regular times. All force structures ancient and...

We seem to bitch a lot about this or that....either we are dumb customer or unable to afford good stuff. Russian equipment is proving how shitty hyped up trinkle laden western equipment is in Ukraine....may be its still worth buying their less than stellar engines than getting blackmailed buying...

You are way too optimistic and over simplifying things. Nothing works at that speed or reuse level unless its China but they steal and rip off. Just thermal aspects are so complicated when physical characteristics change.....thats just ine aspect. Are the serially producing or produced Su-57's...

Yes, hindus in general should keep mothers and sisters away in any feuds. This is not our culture but unfortunately it has propagated too deep in real life and people casually use those cuss words and I personally find it very repulsive.

Planes are built around the engine most of the time especially true in modern economic times....so it is not a surprise in that context. But it still needs software that is going to be different from su-57 as lot of things differ between single and twin and all of these aspects take time at...

The timelines are simply fantasy unless they go Soviet like defence prioritization......is the izd30 even used on su-57 serial produced aircraft yet?

Do we care in any case, neither f22, f35 or su 57 are ours.....keep it civil. Claims are claims, Russians stand their own and lead in some areas and West is similar. I think this direction of discussions is nonsense...please stay relevant instead of prejudices. There are no facts that they went...

Both of you are wrong, one has nothing to do with the other....what is there to doubt the Russians? They have built planes before....we seem to have some influenced by dumbwit pakis here. I remember western news articles said the same thing about pak-fa, rusting russian army and so on....all of...

I think new engine is mostly going to be a platform based on how they are going about pd series....

Rooskies are learning fast on marketing side and looking confident in their posture while the west is in self destruction mode slowly but steadily....century of Eurasia and Asia and Bharat ahead

There are some here that seems to think any Russian advancements are a threat to our domestic products due to lobbying....I don't think this is true especially in Modiji's govt. Indian indigenous goals are here to stay regardless of Russian products. They build good planes and its proved for...

Is the new Russian jet based on IZD 30? If so then we have another option for Tejas and hedge blackmailing scenarios

They will survive fine....30 to 50b dollars is not a big deal for them. For Russia defence investments are sovereign guarantee of their existence and they have always invested in self sufficiency from way back.
