[rocksTaa100]

Su 27 storm in the sky! for many years!

They say fighter 4 5 6 generation.

All this is nonsense! know from my own. What technique is easier, the better! and reliable! A striking example of an AK-47 T-90 K-50 Su-27 Su 37 Mig-29 and many many other amazing products!

@Russiasuperpower1 Didn't you say Russia will be the best in europe in your last post? I also have news for you F-22 is pretty much canceled. The F-35's production numbers are cut why? Because our F-15's and F-16's and F-18's are all being up graded so they will be in service beyond 2030. No need for Stealth fighters. The F-35 more than anything will be a direct replacement for the Harrier.

[Russiasuperpower1]

@vfIskullangel Why on earth would we purchase European fighter jets when we could make our own, for fucking god sake's we have 7 aviation company's. The F-35 and F-22 are to serve until 2040, and that's when you can expect your 6th gen fighter. Facepalms yourself Euro zone is in deep shit, because of its mountain of dept, and the USA has the largest debt in history, for every dollar Uncle SAM spends, it has to borrow 40 cents. So YES the European are broke and so are you!!!

[vfIskullangel]

@Russiasuperpower1 I've got news for you. Russia is not apart of Europe or else they wouldn't be flying sukhois instead they would have been purchasing Eurofighters. *Facepalms* Europe will still have more money than they will in the next 10 years. So will China and even Bankrupt America.

The program is in the beginning stages meaning its not quite going to start yet.

[Russiasuperpower1]

@vfIskullangel HAHAHAHAH Russia economy will be the largest in Europe in ten years. F-35 won't be in service in a another 5 years and your talking about 6th gen. Fact is US is bankrupt and has the largest debt

in history you don't have the money to develop 6th gen. As we speak US defense budget is being CUT.

[vfIskullangel]

@Russiasuperpower1 Wrong. Russia went bankrupt many light years ago while trying to keep pace in the arms race in the late 90's and they simply gave it a rest and now they are about 30 years late in developing a stealth fighter when the USA is currently developing a sixth generation aircraft. It will take russia another 20 years and countless dollars to catch and be on our level.

[Russiasuperpower1]

@vfIskullangel Crash their budget LOL Russia has one of the fasted growing Economy's in the World, USA is the going bankrupt.

@robvanmol It wasn't yet it had Stealth. all its weapons were internal just like the F-22. Originally it along with the Mig 1.44 were both marketed to take on the F-22 and F-35.
