Midweek!

Oh survived to midweek woohoo! :p But it's back to work now, sianz! :p Love the pic of the PAK-FA below, looks like a scene out of AC! :p Taken during MAKS 2013 I thinks.

SU-35 Super Flanker

... or whatever it's called nowadays! But still always impressive! It's crazy something that weighs over 20 tonnes can fly so nimbly like that... and more importantly, the airframe doesn't crumble under the G-forces exerted on it. The service life of the airframe must be super short. :p

China's J-21/J-31 5th gen Fighter

... and China has another (copied) fighter! Definately 'borrowed' from the F-22 Raptor. Well, what's new? I still think the J-20 looks cooler. :)

Russia's new T-50 Fighter

Very ace combat design yeah? Read the full story here and watch the video here.

"Well, three days ago, the AFP and other international news sources reported that the Russians have just test-flown their latest 5th-Gen, low-observable/stealth fighter aircraft, the Sukhoi PAK FA (Prospective Aviation System of Frontline Aviation) prototype, called the T-50, for 47 minutes. Under development since the 1990s, the PAK-FA/T-50 is billed by the Russians as matching up well against the Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor. “It’s going to be no worse than an F-22. I’ve been in an F-22 and I know,” said Anatoly Kornukov, ex-commander of the Russian air force.

Like the F-22, the PAK FA Sukhoi T-50 fighter is capable of supercruise, and should significantly outperform all of our 4th-generation fighters like the F-15, F-16, and F/A-18 series aircraft."
