Russia gets new fighter jet

And will easily fall within the resolution of F22 fighters targeting capabilities.

At what range is the question....

Good point. However you can rest assured that the F22 will almost certainly have a smaller signature. Also, targeting an F22 with radar guided and heat guided missiles will have a much lower probability of success than ours on theirs.

We don't disagree that the Raptor is probably a more capable bird...
(Hell, the limit of 187 birds drove me insane for months)

Once again, the point I'm making is that between Russia and India (The IAF is no slouch in the air), the T-50 could be a very good aircraft that if not respected, could pose a problem for Allied forces.

(Gargamel is not implying that India is an enemy state... LOL)

IF it is everything they say it is I agree completely. It just goes to show that technology and aircraft upgrades are a constant.

Agreed.... and pilots should never get cocky... No matter what they fly...

There is a good story behind that pic, and there is alot of competitor fighting between those two companies. I have read the official report and can relay it in person, but I'm not typing it here. It is a helluva story.

The end result, LM wins, as the attempt was no where near as Boeing and the pilot made it out to be. But it was a cheap shot from a frustrated pilot.

From my experience, things like this usually have good stories attached to them.....

I will look and see what warnings are on the release. There was a significant temper flare involved, of course. If it's not covered with "internal", I'll post it next week.

Come on guys, we all know our current technology was stolen by Clint Eastwood from the Soviets in the 80's.

Now you've got me interested....

Actually has near 0% chance. Read the conspiracy theory type boards on an F22, and then realize that much of what you read is not science fiction. There is a real reason they cost so much.
