Exceptional Nation can’t get F-35, F-22 and B-1 off the ground within 24 hours of their great display in Korean exercises.
Russia just keeps on “truckin” with one great plane after the other.
Have you read how crazy the logistics support system is for the JSF and how it screws more taxpayer money.

Brilliant plane. Some days ago the SU-57 started getting new, even better engines.
not too crazy about the music and it ended strangely – but yeah, the planes are beautiful

Awesome machines! I love the SU 34 and 35 too.
Russia builds military gear without peers. Amazing fighter.
Chinese has very good thing to say about su57. Is it still a Russian indian joint development or has indian split off going after F35 now?

Thanks VT, Chinese has some very good thing to say about su 57:

Best of luck.
While Russian media calls the Su-57 an “aerial ghost,” a senior scientist working on stealth aircraft for the US called it a “dirty aircraft,” with many glaring flaws that would light up radars scanning for the plane.
Additionally, two of the plane’s most fearsome weapons, the Kh-35UEm a subsonic, anti-ship cruise missile, and the nuclear-capable BrahMos-A supersonic cruise missile, can’t fit in the internal weapons bay and must hang from the wings, as the Diplomat’s Franz-Stefan Gady reports.
Since a stealth plane needs every single angle of the jet to perfectly contour to baffle radars, hanging weapons off the wings absolutely kills stealth.
But stealth is just one of the Su-57s problems. The other is the engine. Unlike US stealth jets that have new engines, the Su-57 currently flies with the same engine that power’s Russia’s last generation of fighters.
Whatever the plane’s performance is, the low buy numbers out of Moscow indicate that the budding Su-57 is already a flop.
