![]() ![]() The Indian Ministry of Defence stated that UAC was reluctant to transfer the requisite technology to India’s private sector ( Defense News). Though the two sides principally agreed to transfer the production of Su-30MKI spare parts to India, there have been snags in the implementation of the agreement. Issues with the Su-30MKI’s powerplant and insufficient in-house maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) capabilities, mainly due to insufficient access to timely spare parts from Russia, had caused the IAF Su-30MKI fleet’s operational availability rate to drop to less than 60% in 2015. The IAF could still be reeling from the unsatisfactory availability rate of its Su-30MKI fleet in the early-to-mid 2010s. It is unclear when Project 30 will come to fruition. Currently, the PAK-FA prototypes are flying with the AL-41F1. There were also concerns regarding the PAK-FA’s next-generation turbofan engine, Project 30, which is to be 30% lighter than the AL-41F1 and more fuel efficient. Furthermore, the IAF had received limited assurance from United Aircraft Corporation (UAC) in regards to requested design changes. The VKS is reportedly satisfied with the Su-35 Flanker-E. In July, IHS Jane’s reported that the Russian Aerospace Force (VKS) itself was uninterested in inducting the Su-57. However, the development of the PAK-FA has been tumultuous, namely in regards to Russia’s ability to demonstrate that it can produce the requisite technologies for 5 th-generation fighters, such as electronic subsystems. India was envisaged as the launch overseas customer of the PAK-FA/FGFA. The PAK-FA is a collaborative effort between Russia’s various design bureaus, but spearheaded by Sukhoi, which saw relatively strong export success with its Su-30 Flanker-line in the 1990s and 2000s. wish i could fly this some day.really awesome.The Indian Air Force (IAF) is reportedly urging New Delhi to withdraw from the PAK-FA – also designated Su-57 and Fifth Generation Fighter Aircraft (FGFA) – next-generation fighter program, which is being developed in collaboration between Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) and Sukhoi.Ī senior IAF official told Defense News that the “IAF is not keen to continue with the program.†Some of the IAF’s concerns with the PAK-FA reportedly include insufficient reduction in radar cross-section (RCS), especially in comparison to the Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II. Is that an F-15? No wait it drinks Vodka not Avgas. It will be 2050 by the time this one makes it to IAF and the way GOI is handling the politics in India. The russians faced the problem,because they make the nozzle likeF-22 thats can make the lack of maneuver. The only problem of its stealth is because the assymetrical nozzle and sideway of this aircraft. 'murica is gonna pee in his pants with this awesome plane ! :-)ĭalhats Laudzafata Avicena, e-mail, 17:29 ![]() To Anonymous: 350 meters per second? If I am doing my math correctly, that means this aircraft is supersonic in a vertical climb. Sounds too slow? That's what you get with very small wings built for speed, not lift. And yes, the climb rate is probably 1300 meters per minute. ![]() Bragging and showing off is not going to change the facts. But in real battle situation this plane is not even as good as F-15, especially in electronics. They make spectacular moves at airshows when no armament and fuel only for 30 minutes flight. a 50% heavier planes are not more maneuverable. And absolutely impossible for it to be more maneuverable. No doubt, it has shorter range when equally fueled and armed. Yet, it is 6 tons or 50% heavier (empty weight) than F-15 and 3 tons heavier than F-22 and as a result has lower speed. This airplane is made 20 years later than F-22 and 40 years later than F15. The prototypes and initial production batch are to be delivered with a highly upgraded Lyulka AL-31 variant, the AL-41F1, as an interim powerplant while an advanced clean-sheet design engine, currently designated the izdeliye 30, currently in final stages of development and expected to be available after mid-2020s.Ģ x AL-41F1 turbofans with thrust vectoringġ x 30mm GSh-30-1 cannon, 6 internal + 6 external hardpoints The Su-57 is intended to succeed the MiG-29 and Su-27 in the Russian Air Force. The fighter is designed to have supercruise, supermaneuverability, stealth, and advanced avionics to overcome the prior generation fighter aircraft as well as ground and naval defences. Its maiden flight took place on 29 January 2010 and the first production aircraft are planned to be delivered in 2020. The Su-57 is planned to be the first aircraft in Russian military service to use stealth technology. The Sukhoi Su-57 is a stealth, single-seat, twin-engine multirole fifth-generation jet fighter being developed since 2002 for air superiority and attack operations.
