Russia’s Future PAK FA Fighter Makes Maiden Flight

Air Force News — By RIA Novosti on January 29, 2010 at 6:48 am
Moscow: Russia's prototype fifth-generation fighter made a 45-minute maiden flight on Friday in the Far East, Russian television reported....

The country's top military officials earlier said the stealth fighter jet, with a range of up to 5,500 km, would enter service with the Air Force in 2015.

Russia's fifth-generation project is Sukhoi's PAK FA and the current prototype is the T-50. It is designed to compete with the U.S. F-22 Raptor, so far the world's only fifth-generation fighter, and the F-35 Lightning II.....

The Russians have always been a few years behind us in technology. Isn't it interesting that it looks just like the F-22 Raptor? I've done some reading on it and apparently they're using engines for it that have not been developed since they were used in the SU-27. I don't think that it can go toe to toe with the Raptor, not for a few years anyway.

In keeping with Russian tradition maybe we'll watch it crash when it's displayed to the World at the Paris Air Show.

Looks strangely familiar...
