New Russian Fighter

Guys,

Got this off another list:

(AFP) -

MOSCOW - Russia on Friday unveiled a new fighter aircraft touted as a rival
of the US F-22 stealth jet and developed amid the highest secrecy as part of
a plan to modernize the armed forces.

The fifth generation fighter, manufactured by the Sukhoi company and known
as the PAK FA, made a maiden flight of just over 45 minutes at the firm's
home base of Komsomolsk-on-Amur in the Far East region.

"The flight lasted 47 minutes during which all the aircraft's systems were
tested. It was successful," Sukhoi spokeswoman Olga Kayukova told AFP. "This
is the first time it has been unveiled."

Pictures broadcast on state television showed the fighter jet -- which has
been kept closely under wraps for years -- flying at altitude and then
landing on a snow-surrounded runway.

"The aircraft performed well in all stages of the flight programme. It is
easy and comfortable to pilot," said Sergei Bogdan, the pilot for the
flight, in comments published on the Sukhoi website.

The new jet has the capability of carrying out long flights above the speed
of sound as well as simultaneously attacking different targets.

Russia is currently embarking on a major programme to re-equip its military,
not least the air force which is still using largely Soviet-era equipment
and suffers from frequent crashes.

The new fighter, which has been in development since the 1990s, is due to
enter the armed forces in 2015, Russian news agencies said.

The first flight of the PAK FA (Prospective Aviation System of Frontline
Aviation) is being seen in Russia as a major boost for the military after
the project was hit by repeated delays over the last years.

"There is no doubt that the plane is needed," the ex-commander of the
Russian air force, Anatoly Kornukov, told the Interfax news agency.

"Our Su-27 and MiG-29 planes are good but have aged. They are 20 or more
years old and it's time to have something as a replacement," he said.

He said the new plane could easily stand comparison with the US F-22, also a
fifth generation stealth fighter.

"It's going to be no worse than an F-22. I've been in an F-22 and I know."

Russia's campaign to modernize its military has been marred by repeated
setbacks with new equipment, above all a string of failed tests of its new
Bulava sea-based intercontinental nuclear-capable missile.

Have you seen the story about the Russians finally unveiling their 5th generation fighter aircraft? They say it matches the F-22. It's called the SU T-50 or Sukhoi PAK-FA (СУХОЙ ПАК-ФА).

There's already a YouTube video of it on its first flight: YouTube - Pak Fa (T-50) First Flight Full Video

Looks like we crossed in the ether Ron. I didn't see your message before posting this one.
Tin,

No problem.. For something that's suppposed to rival the F-22 it sure doesn't look "stealthy" to me. Looks alot like the other Sukhoi ftrs and even a little like the Mig-29.

In ref to the YouTube video, I thought it was a little strange that the landing gear was left down all through flight.

That was my impression too when I saw the video. It looked like a "cut and paste" job with parts of different aircraft glued together.

Actually that's quite common among test aircraft. If I remember correctly, the first footage of the F-35 is like that as well. I assume it's because if it's never really been in the air before, if something goes wrong, at least the gear is already down. If they retract it, well,...it's one more thing that can go wrong first time up.
