Russian military contracts 1st batch of 5th-gen Su-57 stealth fighters.
The Russian military has signed the first contract to receive 12 fifth-generation Su-57 stealth fighters. The state-of-the-art jets are to be delivered to the armed forces next year. “The first contract for 12 aircraft has been agreed on, and the deliveries under this contract will begin shortly,” Deputy Defense Minister Alexey Krivoruchko told reporters in Komsomolsk-on-Amur.
Soon they will cut a deal with the Chinese for licensing of the weapons guidance system. For now they have to stick an AK-47 out the window and hold on tight.

Russia has the economy of the state of Texas. We bankrupted them in the '80s we can do it again.
Im more worried about their zombie rush tactics. My granduncles would tell stories how the MG42 barrels and backup barrels would both bend out because they couldnt give them enough time to cool down.
Brayden Johnson
>12 aircraft LOL

How's that mass dollar printing by the FED working out for you goyim? Here take 6 more gorillion. Just be sure to spend them on (((their))) arms manufacturers.The absolute state....
The engine inlets open directly to the turbine blades. Thing is going to have a RCS the size of a barn.
David Sanchez
even if the SU-57 is decent, Russia can't even afford to build them. Russia is a joke my man. It doesn't matter if your hardware is good if you don't have an economy to support it
no. economy of USSR was in waaaay better shape than economy of US. US was already bankrupted (actualy they were so bad at economy, that they have to threat to Japan in late 1980th to quit real competition, to survive; Japan from that moment in never-ending recession); while USSR have low debt and grow economicaly. But dumb motherfucker Gorbachev destroyed everything. He sold his country for right to be in Pizza-hut ad and wear "good goy" medal.
And now, it's time for EU to be new Japan, except EU already in recession. But Trump want them to die in misery.

"Stealth" is a joke anyways. I'd take an F-16 over any Su.
Austin Hill
Do they
Supercruise ? Super maneuverability ? Advanced avionics? Low RCS ?
Possibly two of those, likely one, but not all and certainly to the degree of the 22
two different classes of fighter jets. F-16 is light, any of Su is heavy.
In 1990th there were air fights in US between american and russian pilots. Russians won easily. Fights were F-15 against Su-27. There're even video on youtube about this event, and even in english with entervues of american and russian pilots.
The SU-57 isn't a stealth fighter, even the Ruskies have admitted it. For example, a Russian general has referred to it as a "4.5th generation fighter with stealth characteristics". Unlike the F-22 and F-35 it lacks a stealthy shape, stealth coating and has no S-ducts with exposed jet turbines; therefore, it likely has the RCS of a flying barn.

Wow dude, this vatink nibba has like 3 slide threads going on, talk about multitasking!

>>Su >What does this stand for? Why does Vlad name all their military equipment this way Sukhoi en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sukhoi
are you serious? every Russian expat I know only yammers on about bread lines and empty market shelves. everytime you bring up the USSR they each tell me about getting off the plane in the states and getting culture shock from the amount of shit for sale even at the airports. I was under the impression that Reagan played bankruptcy chicken and barely won.
Benjamin Anderson
>3 slide threads going on, sliding what ??????????
Ethan Roberts
Yea that's it. F-35s. That's modern technology. If you think we stopped going to space after the Apollo missions you're stupid as fuck. Trump says we're going to have a Space Force. Uh huh. He just means he wants to make it public.
Hudson Russell
Life comes easy when you have a rail gun the size of a house .. The others are only building target practice ..
I prefer Russian gear and equipment over American. Gorka Suits are top tier for survival, camping, prepping and preppcal reasons, their Defender II systems are great. But I prefer taking an AR15 over AK variants because there is a bit more I can do with them. Shit I prefer German made handguns like USP45 and HK45 over things like S&W or Colt.
Frankly the spergs that argue: >"Muh Nations stuff is better than yours lawl" Are fucking keyboard warriors. If Russia does something better than the US then so be it. If the US does something better than Russia then so be it. Nation's Armys advance at different rates, and until you are actively doing something to advance or help develope new technology, then stfu. Take advantage of both outlets of gear and tech, either way it's always cool to see new things being developed and what can end up in the US Market.

Looks like a 1990's American jet

F-35 is a meme. F-22 is the only plane that matters.
Brody Brooks
>Trump says we're going to have a Space Force. RUSSIA HAS SPACE FORCE FOR OVER A DECADE NOW.
Joseph Cox
Are you kidding me?? America was rich as fuck in the eighties. Think about all the stuff people had. Way more stuff than they have now. Not to mention look at the products. The fucking space shuttle. Quality of life will never be that good again. Wtf are you talking about.
Adam Cruz
And how many planes estonians will build?

American butthurt over superior Rus tech was always something I genuinely enjoy
We need medium to long range anti-air systems first. Its called defence.
Mason King
5000km range engines are inferor to the 2,200km range engines on a F-22......OK
Benjamin Gray
It is >Russia stronk

glorious battleship?

posts the usual shit meme of fighting outdated or monkey model aircraft as victories.

why is Jow Forums shit posted on Jow Forums and why is Jow Forums shit posted on Jow Forums?
Austin Jones
Bwahahahaha hahahaha
Jackson White
Well, that's not hard to accomplish. Their last jets (US) dropped from the sky like flies. They even went down from electric shock grenades.
Really, US tax money just flows into abyss. The pentagon lost 6 TRILLION dollars. Not million, not billion... fucking 6 trillion went into private pockets
top kek
Isaac Adams
why is porn posted on Jow Forums every fucking day
Mason Torres
The F-22 was bristling with American exceptionalism and was very threatening. Obama made the right choice ditching it for the F-35.
Oh good that must mean that they have the production engines that put out the thrust it needs to super cruise and don't eat themselves after like ten flight hours and, working stealth ducts and, working stealth coating and, actual AESA radar and, its own 5th gen avionics and, an actual stealth canopy and, stealth exhaust nozzles and, the "plasma stealth system that they keep promising now right?
t. airspace protected by the fucking Hungarian Air Force kek
Jacob Green
>why is there camo on the bottom of the plane? Because nobody is viewing it from the top, just from the bottom.
Oliver Sanders
f22 is already in service, vatniks been playing catchup with it for 20 years. F35 is the cheap successor to the F22 and at this rate even the F35 will be in active service before any russian chinese or indian 5th gen
Jack Moore
The 35 is fine. If I get orders to a 35 base I wouldn't even be mad. Had a buddy on the test program who said that they actually got IMIS to not be such a massive shit program like it is on the raptor. Plus the doors are way easier to rig. The only thing I don't like about it is that it uses the same POS LAU-142's fuck those pieces of shit.
wait what? didnt trump say russia would buy our weapons? this cant be its completely probable...
David Morgan
shouldnt you paint it, like, the color of the sky and clouds or something? not, you know, ground camo, which it will be flying above...?
Easton Lee
To camouflage into the blue sky obviously
Jackson Brown
>the M1 Abrams is the best MBT in the world! >gives M1 to sandnigger retards >M1 Abrams MBTs destroyed by the dozen by other sandniggers The same happened with Soviet systems. How come that the Israeli military could use the same T-55s with great efficiency unlike the Egyptians?
Jason Brown
Please stop using F-16.net as resource coming from chest thumpers. Look at the key forum publishing website instead
Brody Miller
If the F-35 is at least as stealthy as the F-22, it doesn't need to have the maneuverability. >theaviationist.com/2013/09/19/f-22-f-4-intercept/ When you can practically fly up a target's asshole without them detecting you, there's no competition.
Parker Hernandez
Its sad that we cant buy russian because of preparing war against them and america produces overpriced crap.
Anthony Sanchez
KEK your own government built these and they're only buying 12!?
>Russia is a joke Last time I checked, they were rolling over US troops (incl. "special forces" wearing face masks to pass as Arabs) in Syria and the US (read ZOG puppets) were powerless to stop them.
Samuel Miller
So, enemy satellites can't see it if it topples over when it lands.
Joshua Hernandez

Nolan Morales
YEAH! That was that shit plane I was talking about: Engineers all over the world are wondering why that expensive motherfucker has even been built.
Totally my face when I found out :( I want dat toooo mommeeee
Colton Ward
You are an ignorant who doesn't understand intricacies of stealth technologies. At 30 000 feet people are going to see your plane in great detail...
Except the F-22 is a fraud, a flying piece of porcelaine except more fragile, with "a vulnerability to rain and lightning" that poisons and suffocates its own pilots and causes them to be severely disoriented, is visible to every SAM/Radar the Russians make, has a ridiculous maintenance-to-flight hours ratio (and thus spend most of its time on the ground where it's just an expensive target), and, as was evidenced in Syria, wouldn't DARE even go near a Su-30, let alone the Su-57.
