I have tequila back at my place...?

Cool, its your opinion, you’re entitled to have one though I will say if you're new then take the time to learn more before passing judgment. I've seen a lot of Tyler and his work, and I'm ex military, I find his stuff to be informative, catered to a wide range and with an emphasis on technical accuracy.. he doesn't…

Please tell me you’re American.. I do so hope, the hypocrisy would be entertaining.

Sigh.. The issue is perspective, this article conveys a tone where the ‘uninformed’ would be reasonable in thinking the FGFA is a serious contender against the West

Correct, the query is the degree to which it’s presented... Of course he’s technically accurate though this article presents as if the Russian ‘newest greatest’ Russian aircraft was a raging success - if the Pentagon was running FGFA, we'd be rioting in the streets!

I’d go with a higher RCS than that, SU27 is a full 2.5m/dB and I can’t see that massive a reduction for the FGFA, it’s still massive and the engine intakes and nozzles are huge and hot. India is getting pissed with Russia, recently India was forced to drop plans to upgrade their SU30 to super Sukhoi status and not one…

Honestly by 2025 India will have F35s.. The U.S. is aligning with India away from Pakistan, and India sees Russia losing progress with their economic woes. China with the J20 and F31 will force India to seek a proven immediate answer faster than Russia can provide, and in numbers. Only the F35 offers that. If Pakistan…

Um no

Given that the ‘production’ numbers are forecast at twelve, I’m willing to bet that won’t happen.. 12 airframes is not ‘production’ they’re prototype or test aircraft..

The avionics would be the same no matter the airframe, same as the F35. Silent Eagle kinda reinforces the point that minor adaptations don’t make for a viable upgrade.. There wasn’t much different from the C/D to the SE, whereas A/B to C/D was far more desirable.

Your new here, welcome to the Internet. Your presumed smugness and self inferred knowledge means... Nothing.

Go home J.O.

lol come on, you know better than that! Russia is not letting that thing within radar range of any coast.. Yes a dozen, though unsure if that includes the recent loss of one to an engine fire

Idiot - back in your hole

All points agreed, maybe your perspective is because you expect more from the program? though would your tone in this article be the same if the Pentagon was developing the FGFA and UAC had JSF

I'm agreeing.. His analytical work is top class but his perspective more & more is coming across butt hurt on the F35

Woohoo the article my weekend wanted..

Boo!!

In saying that, how the hell did they mess up killing him and not manage to finish the job with that thing in hand.. WHAM-SKIS!

God Fuken damn I should read my own damn link! Point conceded..
