  • pretty impressive jet.... but does it have a cup holder?

  • why have a super jet when you could have a missile that you can launch anywhere and have it strike anywhere

  • Comment removed

  • "Easy and comfortable..." Russian vehicle that is comfortable?? lawl, never thought id hear that.

  • It looks beautiful. Their avionics may fall a little behind, but the Russians definitely know how to build them pretty.

  • @wtfyiseverynamtaken I just don't get it, becose of my english I guess.

  • Ah fu**. not to this vid.

  • Please. What's the music? aaaaaaaa!!!!!

  • I just find all these major military powers making new superjets a bit scary, and it seems that America has underatimeted there possible enemy's technology. Am I the only one here seeing a next arms race, that could lead to WWIII?

  • @CyclonicTuna023 yeah pretty much, why would any country want a ww3?

  • @CyclonicTuna023 Nah don't worry. All mainstream political scientists believe that Russia and America will never go to war with each other.

  • NO MORE COMMERCIALS!!!

  • now US economic going down. they deal with india because to give job for their pepole .

  • Russia and india  friendship was good .india will be number 1 after 2030 economically .huhaaaaaaaaaa

  • developed WITH India?! WTF?

  • @Crawlerz2468 Russia has an economy the size of Spain, they needed another nations resources to make it go forward...

  • 0:07 looks almost exactly like an f22 but wider

  • @warhawk9566 Get a pair of glasses, totally different aerodynamics.

  • IIIlll ===>>>>> Россия всегда большое идти вперед. удивительные машины. Очень стильный, надежный. Матери России жить, живой русских самолетов

  • Why does Russia have to join with India to build a jet fighter? Im not trying to be a smart-ass but it does not make any sense? Is Russia not capable enough to build their own fighter?

  • @brainards1 T-50 development is going be very expensive. It does not make economic sense for Russia to go it alone. Even USA with all its economic power and deep pockets decided to cut down number of Raptors originally ordered as its production and maintenance costs are astronomical. Russia and India together will produce at least 500 T-50s at the cost of $25 billion at least. Its beyond Russia to spend so much money on a single plane and hence it makes good sense to share the cost with India.

  • @rasthana Good argument...but the reason the U.S. cut the number of Raptors is based on Politics and not economics. That is just the way its done in the States.

  • @brainards1 It is economics..... they are very expensive. Sure they could afford it if they wanted too, but that's the thing with budgeting. If you don't cut 'x' then make an exception for 'y' then you will end up cutting nothing.

    At $200M each an F22 is extremely expensive considering it is not physically needed. It's not like there is some air war going on and it will turn the tide...

  • @brainards1 Lol again 'sure it could' but its very expensive. For example Germany or even Britain has enough tax revenue to build a military bigger than the united states.... but at what cost?

    It's not can't, its won't. Somethings just are not worth sacrificing other things for. Its not worth Russia developing this plane on its own for a Tiny boost in prestige & secrecy vs having the costs massively reduced by partnering.

  • @CmdrTobs You are not making any sense...? Prestige...? That is based on someone or everybody knowing about it. Secrecy? Why should they...its a piece of crap any way.

  • @brainards1 Its pretty clear. nvm.

  • @CmdrTobs I agree!

  • Russians always have surprises ....for world....!!!

    This time together with India they will have a blast..!

  • Brutal Russian pigs...

  • T-50's capabilities are morelike the f-35, from what  i heard its stealth capabilities arent very impressive

  • The only nations can afford to buy Sukhoi PAK FA T-50 for export is Brazil, Venezuela, Belarus, Libya, Angola, Vietnam, and Saudi Arabia. Syria is never likely able to afford it and Iran is likely to fall from favor.

  • Comment removed

  • Now, i had time 2 study the T-50 more closely. It seems very promising in design. But contrarily 2 Sukhoi Corps. claims of T-50 fully operational status within 4 yrs. is very unrealistic. It will likely require an additional 8 to 10 yrs. 2 achieving what thy seek.

  • @DrSoblev you r a failure the f-22 is a success get your facts right

  • @shadowknight3656 Man. $ 62.5 billions for F-22 prototype and $ 2 bllions for pak-fa T-50 prototype. And 150 plains(F-22) max for the 20 years for US. So who fails? ;-)

  • @DaNukeOff history is a guide to the future,American legacy fighters dominate Russian fighter aircraft.....

    Examples F15 200 kills no losses air to air,f17 1700 combat missions one loss ........Success of the f15 100%,f117 99.9999999%...The f22 and f35 are a updated blended version of both .....It is what it is....

    ;) I just love facts....

  • @ClarksonsinUSA All facts are lies. Especially american "facts". And also, american "fighters" were never fight air to air, they were and are now just support the fight, and who knows what will be with them when they will be alone. And I don't really admire these local usa wars with some army who have no anti-air defence, air support and good radars. This is like if you will fight to death with 10y.o. girl, this is dishonourable, that's all. There is no point to discuss it

  • @DaNukeOff .....WOW...

    Can you say clueless...

  • @shadowknight3656

    A technical masterpiece yes, but until it actually has the opportunity to engage enemy fighters it cannot be called a 'success'. $65 billion + could have been spent elsewhere...

  • @shadowknight3656 F22 is a Failure...get YOUR facts Right mate!!! before posting Comments based on your Personal Choices

  • Comment removed

  • It will blend and bleed F-22, hahahahah.

  • Will it blend?

  • fox three

  • U.S. Missile Defense Agency on 2/11/2010, successfully destroyed a boosting ICBM. With 1 of the new Boeing 747F's speed of light directed-energy Airborne Laser weapons. The U.S will soon install & deploy laser weapon systems on many U.S. Navy Ships + some U.S Army Ground force units also.

  • America could produce and brilliant fighter if not for our bloated bureaucracy and military industrial complex. most of the time the pentagon gives projects to companies for over priced and faulty equipment because of the swinging door at the defense department. they buy the weapons from the companies they are going to work for. its open corruption, to bad the f-22 sucks because of it. maybe the American government can clear up its act, maybe not.

    were fucked

  • @thesparitan True.

  • BUT CAN IT HANDLE RAIN?

  • The T-50 might serve as a excellent military spy-plane & or bomber interceptor platform. But i doubt it will gain prov-en world class 5th gen. air superiority fighter status.

  • rkapo7, And you say the "F-22 is not unreliable to continue with", what Russian propaganda have you been reading? The reason why they are "restricted" as you put it, is 1. They are extremely expensive, 2. NO EASTERN FIGHTER JET CAN COME CLOSE TO ITS CAPABILITIES, You strike me as the kind of person that plays video games all day, then thinks they know how to fly an fighter jet. You need to stop posting information you heard from Russian Facebook, and probably Go back to Russia.

  • @nvelazq2 f22 is a failure

    watch?v=aCRhOnOWyaA

  • Actually there is no official flight test data. So there is no sense to argue.

  • rkapo7 you also say that engines are close to development, and radar is close to development...What world do you live on? No one can make these assertions outside of the Russian aviation industry. These technologies require testing and research, and most of all funds, which are extremely lacking in Russia today. Not to mention American fighters have been destroying Russian one's since the Korean War-through the Iraq War. Fact look it up.

  • All I assume is the Pak Fa will be better than a SU35. That will make it a very potent Aircraft. If I was a F35 Pilot and my potential enemies had late model SU 27 series aircraft or the Pak Fa I would not assume I had a superior airplane overall. I have never been to Facebook - too many biased uninformed people.

  • rkapo7, you are making these ridiculous claims that this brand new aircraft, which just made its maiden flight, can outperform and out maneuver their Western counterparts. You also claim that SU series can match the F35, where are you getting this from? You can't just make these claims b/c you're biased toward Russian aircraft and pass them on as fact.

  • Modern Western Planes can easily defeat poorly maintained old downgraded Russian planes flown by poorly trained pilots with out of date missiles etc.

    So what?

    Remember Yak solved the problems associated with VTOL Supersonic Aircraft in 1990. Now we will see it in the F35 in an updated form. The USA bought that technology off Yak. You can see the Yak influence in the Airframe.

  • I got both picture of F-22 Raptor & Su-50 PAK FA design in my background.

  • american bitches you havent plat what do russia. muhahaha

    ROSSIJA WPEROD!

  • A beautiful aircraft!!! Can't wait to see it flying up close!

  • You summed it up. They hope it will be about half the price of a F22 or F35 and it looks like being superior to the F35 in most aspects and at least equal to the F22. Possibly cheaper than the Eurofighter. Who knows - Russians can get that wrong like everybody else. We don't really know the price of the F35 yet and it certainly has limitations.

  • meh... a sukhoi su-27 with a new cover

  • @heythere903 & Co

    american astronauts are flying to space with "russian junk" (ISS), cause they haven't their own junk to fly with anymore. a "second world country" brings americans up to space, how ironic.

  • hahahaha

    you idiots cant even deal with countries like irak..or afghanistan..so shut the fuck up.. and go eat you hamburgers..you peace of shit...

    dont tell anything about weapon or aircraft-development.. one thing i can tell you faggot..that about 50% of scientists and ingeneurs working in america are former soviet people and scientists...

    america would be nothing without europe and russia... stupid fools!

  • another piece of Russian junk.

    - no super cruise

    - non-stealth

    - no new innovative technology

    - lack of funding and poor pilot training makes this a 21st century MiG-21

  • lol...

    look at F-22 or F-35. Now try to analyse it's stealth-ability and innovative technology only by it's look. You are SO experts everyone in everything here in the internet, yankees...

  • @JonGarrett2008 MIG21 was fucking every jet of it's time, but who told you non super cruise? Super cruise of P/F 1800km/h

    F22 have 15,5 ton thrust of each engen; P/F 17,5 t each engen

    F22 T/W ratio 1,14, P/F 1,4

    F22 have 2400km/h, P/F 2600km/h

    F22 range 3200km, P/F 5500km

    F22 have 2D T/V, P/F have 3D T/V

    F22 g-load +9g. P/F have +11g

     If F22 and P/F would face eachother in a reall fight, pilot of F22 rather would EJECTS than fight with this "MONSTER"

  • The MIG 21 was nice indeed. I'd rather develop the flanker and it's missiles and radar. I don't believe Russia (or India) have the technoogical talent to develope a fighter compatible to or greater than the F-22. After the fall of the Soviet Union, Russia is no longer a great country. In fact, Russia is a second-world country at best.

  • @JonGarrett2008 I don't say Russian cars are the best, or they make good computers, clouths, but they always were making good, VERY GOOD weapons, every Russian weapon is better than American. AK47 >M16 MIG15>F86 MIG21>F4 MIG29>F16 SU27>F15

    R77M1 >AIM120D

    VA-111 shkval torpedois better than what America can come up next 30-40 years. BUT American propaganda is undesputably better than Russian.

  • You make some good points, but what's Russia's answer to - apache longbow - B2 bomber - airborne laser - JSTARS - JDAM - javalin - SCAR - global hawk - predator - F-35 & F-22
  • @JonGarrett2008 KA50>MI28>MI24> Apache Airborn laser is a pure fantasy and waste of taxpayers money Ther is only "SMERCH" who canters all that bullshit. F22 is canceled, dead before it was born, useless shit, well known. F35 is copy of Russian YAK 141, well known fact, but it still useless. Watch video COPY: f 35 is useless

  • @mikeplay007

    Wow, this is all bullshit.

  • Comment removed

  • @wall2wall99 Yes I understand, Russians used time mashin to stile YAK 141s disign. I told you Russian technology is better, they even have TIME mashine. Now Russians could make 7th generation jets, before US makes 6th, but it would be not Russian 7th generation jet, it would be stolen from the future.

  • apache longbow - Mi-28 , Ka-50

    B2 bomber - not stealthy but powerful Tu-160

    B2 is a waste of money

    airborne laser is not needed with S-500

    javelin - AT-14 kornet

    F-35 and F-22 - Pak FA

    predator - russians currently are purchasing isrealei equivavalent

    SCAR - An-94 for example

    you should remeber , that russians arent dumber than US scientist , but tehy havent got money to introduce \everything and doctrine is other in russia

  • JonGarrett2008 - where do you live - on Mars?

    The TU160 Bomber - bigger faster. high and low altitude. The B2 has been plagued with problems.

    F35 & F22 - the Pak Fa of course.

    Superior Missiles also in most areas.

    Air To Air - Air to Ship etc. etc.

    The Global Hawk - you win that one - Say 3-5 years. They can't be the best at everything like the USA THINKS they are.

  • hahahahah

  • Comment removed

  • >JonGarrett2008

    your propaganda is good only for developed country without good weapon, only them you can bombard becous you are nation of cowards

  • Boy do you live in DENIAL!

  • Whats new here? F-22 developing years -1990 to 1997, T-50 is still making its test flight, har har har. If ever that T-50 can outmoded F-22 or F-35, dont you think as we make comments here, U.S. is not making another fighter planes? Do you think they have stop making much reliable jets just bec. they have the F-22 and F-35, i dont think so. before T-50 will be in service or in its full development im sure U.S. will be introducing a newer one.

  • Not at all. US now just haven't enough money to develop a next-gen fightercrafts... remember a cancellation of F-22 building and you maybe find out something about what really happens

  • its not money why they cancelled F22, its politics.

  • The F22 has been in service since 2004/5 if I remember correctly.

    The F35 can't even match the latest SU series aircraft most areas but Stealth. At about 3 times the price you have to ask is one F35 better than 2-3 Su35's.

    The same with the Pak Fa and the F22. Any advanced nation can build great gear today if you throw enough money at the problem. The question is - Is it a practical and cost effective system.

  • the americans F series plane downed its value. Russia s still the numbe one .

  • anyone who cites "religion" for anything is a fucking dumbass and obviously incapable of realistic thought. thats why idiots like you believe in a 2000 year old boogeyman. You fucking cowards

  • plus this plane is at least 5 years away from actually being implemented by the russian air force. Dont you morons think something better will be under development by then???? I swer, the ruskies are always 3 steps behind

  • and the thing looks like shit. What did they do? Nail a Su37 nose to a half assed attempt at a F22 frame? jesus, welcome to 2nd place Russia, where you've always been and where you'll always be......if you're lucky

  • chill out, bitch... if everything is so cool for usa, why do U keep on posting these hating comments? cause you know we'll never let you feel absolutly safe, we'll never let U stay unpunished... so keep on spending money for raptor programm - now your ass will be in danger again.

  • russian idiots can't sober up long enough to build anything worth a fuck. This plane is a piece of junk and its already outdated. It took these idiots 20 years longer than the US to build this garbage which doesn't rival the F-22 in any way. again, congrats on being a 3rd world country. How much for 2 o3 three of your russian women? 50 bucks and a greencard? lol

  • Danger? I feel safe as I am certain no Russian is going to fly into our airspace with intent on killing. No one in America fears Russia or Russians, and purposely putting fear into americans is not russias goal. We are the ones flying spy planes over your country, but with google earth pro what is the point? haha

  • the poin is that not that U feel safe cause russians will fly to your airspace, the point is that USAF will not fly to our airspace safely like they did in yugoslavia, vietnam etc.

  • I see, makes sense

  • The USA intends to stay with the F35 until about 2040. Upgrades yes but it is severely restricted in the ways it can be upgraded. The F22 is dead. Why? Money they say or is it like the Shuttle - too expensive and unreliable to continue with. We will know in time. Even if the USA decided to upgrade and build more F22's now they would not be ready by 2015. It would need an upgrade to make it competitive. If that meant it was then going to cost $200US it still would not be cost effective.

  • true but one day america will begain to have a true democracy and then maybe we can start being the best again.

    looks like obama is not going to be the one to change things. the best thing for russia would be if the republicans win. you might as well destroy the us military because it would become completely useless

  • There is probably no democracy at all:) Somebody always want to got the power)))

  • Most military people, not douchefucks on youtube, have commented that this fighter is well behind the raptor in that its engines are simply off the shelf saturns and its radar is second tier. As far as range goes, the F-22 is an air-superiority fighter that "can" double as a bomber so range isnt as important. Thats why the F35 is still being developed. you people are idiots

  • There is only one idiot on here. Guess who? It looks to me the PakFa will be superior to the F22 once all the new gear is fitted. New engine almost ready - new Radar almost ready etc etc.

  • @eighenvalue

    They said that the price will be 100 million dollars, much less than the F-22--> 300 millions ;)

  • the u.s army has haarp that will knock these out of the air with one impulse

  • Anatoly Kornukov, the former commander of Russias Air Force, said that the new jet would be no worse than an F-22, adding: Ive been in an F-22 and I know.

    NE XUJE :)))) a ia dumal shto ana i v kosmas palitit mhhuhmaamahahahaumhahu

  • @coggiola Former commander is just trying to say something nice about the plane but deep down he knows its a Mig 29 with a new body.

  • something like that :)

  • ステルス戦闘機

  • It's veeeeery cool!!!

    Can it do super cruise-flight?

    How about it's avionics and stealth performance?

    Please tell me, pentagon! CIA!

  • they should name this jet "RAPTORSKI" :))))))))))))))))))

    MUA MUAHAHA MUAAHAHAHAHA

  • While I consider myself a left-leaning moderate. It's because of this that I would like to see Congress allowing a bigger order of F-22 and F-35. About it being secret, people have been commenting about this plane for years in defense forums, so it's not nearly as secret for those who have been looking for it.

  • The Indian version, according to the deal, will be different from the Russian version and specific to Indian requirements. While the Russian version will be a single-pilot fighter, the Indian variant will have a twin-seat configuration based on its operational doctrine which calls for a greater combat radius.

  • I can't to get the 1/72 plastic kit of these sleek Jet!

    Hopefully Zveda will release one soon.

  • Just will be to expensive for the Soviets to produce. probably will remain only on paper for a long period allowing the U.S.A. and N.A.T.O to mass deploy them before hand to front line units.

  • Comment removed

  • Thank you....I was thinking something like that too, Since they dont explain that much, you know, there are many things to think about it hahaha.

  • It was NOT developed with India! India will receive a different version of the plane, wheras most parts will still be produced in Russia. They cooperate on the development of new engines, that's it.

  • if you are able to bderstand the american english of the lady speaker ...quote the craft developed in partnership with india was easy and comfortble to fly " ..secondly look up google and see ther references , 50% india partnership

  • Nice jet but the part about it being secret and that it was In partnership with India that had me the most interested.

  • Haha! The U.S trains India in the arts of programming and Russia phone calls India for assistance.

    Its official! This plane is an Indian plane!

  • hahahah are you serious? since WWII russia has been technologically superior in battle aircrafts! read some non chauvinistic books! as far as i can remember, in the last wargames, usa was severely beaten off by russia and india's air force...

  • "It's just a tuned-up version of the existing Sukhoi-27 model."

  • Independent military affairs analyst Pavel Felgenhauer believes the new plane is a "humbug" and is nothing more than a "flying prototype."

    "It doesn't have a new engine, modern weapons, or electronics. It's impossible to make a 5th-generation plane without having 5th-generation components," Felgenhauer told CNN.

  • More russian garbage. Hey do you think it will work as well as their missile did? Perhaps they should fly it over Norway next time Obama is there. It will make a nice blue spiral and they can deny it was their jet but admit one of their jets crash :P

  • Just a prototype, cool....They just wanted to test how it handles....I am sure this one doesnt even have weapon system or any other system available in the final release. The same way the kept this out of press sight, they will keep the weapon, radar and even the stealth technology away from the press. Russia has been talking about the Plasma Stealh system since years ago. It is suposed to be better than just angle lines, paint and material to just reduce chances to be detected by a radar....

  • ....While American stealths have to flight dodging the radars signals, the plasma system is suposed to make the aircraft completly invisiable, even if it is just in front of radar, since it rather than absorbing the signal, it refract it an there is no chance of reflection detectable by the radar. According with the test, it really works. What I wonder is how they will handle that hot plasma field around the plane.

  • ageing army? LOL! russia still has the best snipers, tanks, anti air, helicopters, etc. that the world has ever seen

  • Google "Petr Ufimtsev"

  • what is to prove this is a stealth fighter?

  • hoangtvu ? stealth la gi ha ? CNC nho Co Biet luc truoc ..

  • @CucNamCham Stealth aircraft fighter la may bay tang hinh. Khi bay vao dich thi dich khong thay no hay la radar cung khong thay luon. My goi la (stealth fighter).

  • Da CNC cam on hoangtvu nhieu nhe !

  • Copying is what the Russians and Chinese do well. Wait for the US (or Germans in the case of the immediate post-war) to come up with some new fancy tech, then use espionage and reverse engineering to duplicate (and possibly improve on) the design. Saves on R&D costs allowing them to produce more. But it means they are always 1 step behind the US.

  • Not always, i.e. S-400 is a living proof that in other military fields the US is behind Russia.

    But that's not even the point. The point is, any country (worth mentioning) is always spying on the others, you should know that and I hope you're not that much brainwashed to believe the US is the great country and anyone else is copying from it, it's such a childish world-view even for an American.

  • Copying what exactly? Before judging R&D effort and who copied what you probably need to learn basics about aircraft design, history etc. This layout for fighters was well known and public long before first showing of Raptor's prototypes. Besides, development of T-50 started in middle of 90's. It's actually somewhat outdated, as its wing was designed and tested using 2D models. Raptor's wing is more complex and contains internal weapon bays. It required 3D wing profiling,

  • ROFL I read this news at our office this morning, But i just arrive at home and see the video i was WTF! it's look like YF-23 still in USA project.

    And i was thinking tonight man does this communist nuts copy a plane on Ace Combat 6? LOL WTF!

    Su-47 project was abandon and it's a failure project!

  • I'm disappointed Russia went with a shoddy looking F-22 clone. They had a far more attractive and striking design that I was hoping they'd use...but its aerodynamics might not have matched its great looks.

    India should be given more credit because it largely bankrolled this project-without their help it'd be dead.

    Frankly I applaud their effort, its not like America will share its pre-eminent fighter jet with others countries. So if other nations can at least match the US, kudos to them.

  • This plane was copy on YF-23 and it's a project from USA.

    Maybe they copy this one at ace combat 6 ROFL!

  • lol...ya Russia needs to get out from the US's shadow and makes its own bold designs. I thought they'd do it this time-since some of the designs looked great but they took the 'safe' route by copying the F-22 and also YF-23. Imitation is really a credit to America-people will see the resemblance.

    But I think we've seen the last of the manned fighters-the future is drones and again America is at the fore-front. The Ruskies and Indians are wasting time on these jets-they should build drones too.

  • Yea, i never though the commie nuts is copy cat nowadays.

    I wonder whos next ? another wanna be copy cat chines ?

    Hey i am pretty sure they copy the art of YF-23 on Xbox360 game ace combat 6 ROFL!

  • About time, looks like a good aircraft.

    But it does look like a copy of a F-22.

  • Copycat! Su-50 PAK FA got F-22 Raptor wings, body, internal carriage, two vertical canted tails, & head of F-35. Russia always been copycat. Russia copy F-22 Raptor design from google images. Also they built cardboard of F-22, F-35, & F/A-23.

  • Did you create and account just to post this comment??...Dude, let me tell you something, It may looks like a trashy F-22, but at the time it gets in service, it will outperforme the lack of avionic American stealth jets..... It has always been like that, thats why no American jet fight hasnt been able to sustain a serious dogfight with the Mig-29 Fulcrum, there is no F-whatever american jet from the same age able to be compared with a Mig-29. US has never had the guts to fight with Russia.

  • Mig-29 is sexy.

  • @wtrdogg20

    WTF?! What is the bullshit in these comments? Did Russia hire a bunch of nerds for their propaganda? The combat records for all American-made aircraft speak for itself, so tell me, wtf are you smoking?

  • @sikorski1337 You tallking about, faked American propaganda combat records? Look at history, according to US "RECORDS" in Korea they lost only 78 F86, but in reality they lost over 350 F86, In Vietnam US lost over 4000 planes all of them was shot down with Russian weapons or with MIG21s. In Serbia one MIG29 was against 22 NATO planes suported by AWACS, and In Iraq all radars were destroyed with cruise misiles, after that 4-5 F15 suported by AWACS and whole USAFs were against one MIG29.

  • @mikeplay007 how about you go ask the people that flew them, and worked on them. Who's records are you going by?  Korea's? Vietnam's? Like those are accurate records. Believe them, and I have a bridge to sell ya

  • Oh no, and we canceled the F-22, what ever shall we do?

  • Americans shouldn't try and say that Russians copied their designs when the US has long copied or imitated the superior Mig aircraft or Russia's hevy bombers.

    Russia's navy may be aging and lagging, but it's nuclear missiles, missile defence and SAM's and fighter jets are still top notch in the world.

    Sad thing is, the cancelled F-22 was loads better than the F-35 JSF they are building and sharing with the other countries such as Turkey. Is that a wise decision?

  • Even if one assumes that Russians stole the YF23 blueprints to build F50, it only means that American counter-intelligence is crap and Russian intelligence works really damn well ))

  • Gosh, Americans claiming that Russian engineers cannot produce anything without stealing blueprints just don't know (or forget) that a huge Boeing center operates in Moscow so that, say, dreamliner's development continues 24/7: when guys in Seattle go to bed, their colleagues in Moscow take over, and so on.

  • I assume it's based on stolen YF-23 blueprints, just as the Buran was based on stolen space shuttle blueprints. So there, you commie pig niggit.

  • It's kinda like russia's (east's) version of F-22 Raptor

  • Kinda resembles the canceled Northrop YF-23. However, I'm sure it's a hell of an aircraft & much more reliable. Russian built aircraft are known for their durability esp the ability to operate from unimproved runways. Their engines are supreme. I would not want to face one in a dogfight. Here's to you Sukhoi, I love your aircraft!

  • nice craft i know russia can do it

  • can someone say rip off of a raptor

  • Sorry, it doesn't look anything like the canceled CRAPtor, btw don't u have some Chinese dicks to suck for moar loans so u can even build f-35, or is that crap getting canceled as well??

  • does it have supercruise and vectorthrust??? wanst to see the capabilities of this craft sure well be seeing more of it...........

  • F-22 CRAPtor was canceled, hahaha.

  • F22 was canceled due to stupid US politicians (most likely liberals).

    But it was state-of-the-art and you can bet if America goes to war with nation states, it'll start cranking out F22s by the dozens.

    If the Russian-India T-50 can equal the F-22 with its technology (avionics, stealth, supercruise, etc) and could equal a Raptor in a dogfighter, then I'll be truly impressed.

    I don't think America has anything to worry about just yet-airframe is one thing but its advanced technology that wins.

  • F22 was cancelled? you're an idiot. F-22 is a main fighter jets for u.s. elite airforce. And F-35B will be replace for F/A-18 Hornet for fighter bomber.

    All i can see at this video another copy cat on YF-23.

  • @M4A108 , was the technology of VA-111 Shkval supercavitating torpedoes was a copy?, the design begun in 1960 in USSR but still the US navy still has no answer for this.How about SS-N-22 Sunburn, designed in the 70's, still US navy has no answer for this. Read also the story of Mig-15 Klimov RD-45 engine, a reverse-engineered of Rolls-Royce Nene and read how the soviets got this technology. Think again industrial espionage is very common this days.

  • M4a-you're a fucking moron, look it up. It became too expensive to procure, so they canceled the program. The ones that were built are still in use.

    And by the way the F-35 also has become very expensive, but there might be enough interest to keep it going. The UK has canceled or downsized their orders already.

    Actually the overall airframe of the T-50 more closely resembles the F-22, just vertical stabilizers spacing matches the YF23.

  • Actually, american F22 just an expensive piece of crap which not able to fly like normal jet. American patriots, please, keep ur ideas where they were born - in ur asses.

  • You really have no idea what you are talking about do you?

    No worries about this Raptor copy though. I'm sure Russia can only afford 3 of them...

  • Actually they will build at least 150 of them, not canceling, unlike u do in your shitty usa economy. Always enough gas n oil profits to pull this project through, so cry all u want, u fat american pig.

    Also, it looks nothing like f-22, but more like su-37, so now we know u are fat, stupid n have bad eyesight too. Ofc u want to write it off as a "copy" u are SCARED of what it can do. What can it do? Well, top secret, but I guess u know enough to form an opinion mr expert?
