Vlamgat9 Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Same old Russians. Never mind the quality, feel the width. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobski Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 I still laugh at how an aircraft with engines like that can possibly be described as "stealthy"... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giorgio N Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Strange as it was only a few months ago that some websites were telling us how the F-35 was already obsolete as Russia and China were developing more modern fighters that would have been operational before the F-35... Show me a high performance military aircraft developed in the last 40 years that has not had any sort of problems ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennings Heilig Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Was there one 40 years ago or more that didn't? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul J Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 The last line above post says,," high performance...." nothing about stealth and so yes there have been modern warplanes over the past 40 years or so with probs....Hunter, F-104, Swift, F- 111, Migs, Mirages......

stever219 Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Is this just the Indian defence procurement machine sabre-rattling to try to get a better deal from Sukhoi? Remember how long the Jaguar and Hawk procurement processes took? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennings Heilig Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 I'm struggling to think of a fighter that hasn't had some kind of problems in development. About the only one I can come up with is the F-5 family. Northrop pretty much got them right right off the drawing board. But that's about it.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
