Russia - T-50 Jetfighter to Rule the Skies

Stealth Ability Neutralized! Russia’s T-50 Jetfighter to Rule the Skies (Sputnik, May 29, 2015):

An active defense system developed for Russia’s fifth-generation T-50 jetfighter is also able to neutralize enemy planes’ stealth capability, RIA Novosti reported Friday, citing the press service of the Himalaya system’s designers, the Radioelectronic Technologies Concern [KRET].

 The Sukhoi PAK FA fighter jet, also known as T-50, is ready to go into production next year, and boasts innovative technology which renders the pilot one part of the plane’s control system.“The PAK FA is already to some degree a flying robot, where the aviator fulfils the function not only of pilot, but is actually one of the constituent parts of the flying apparatus,” explained Vladimir Mikheyev, deputy head of KRET, which is a unit of Rostech Corporation.

The use of composite materials, innovative technologies, advanced avionics and engines ensure the T-50’s extremely low level of radar, optical and infrared visibility.

At present the US is the only country to have operational fifth-generation aircraft – the F22 Raptor and F35 Lightning II.

KRET has also created for the T-50 the upgraded BINS-SP2M strapdown inertial navigation system that autonomously processes navigation and flight information, determines position and motion parameters in the absence of satellite navigation, and can integrate with GLONASS, Russia’s space-based satellite navigation system.

The T-50 is set to replace the Sukhoi Su-27 fourth generation fighter jet, which entered service with the Soviet Air Force in 1985, and the Mig-29, which entered service in 1983.

In December 2014 Russia’s United Aircraft Corporation announced that production of the fighter was ready to begin in 2016, following the completion of the testing phase.

55 PAK FA jets will be delivered to the Russian Air Force by 2020.

  1. A 1950’s fighter is superior to the US planes. The politically correct rot and Chinese parts have seen to that.

    The Canadian Avro Arrow of the 1950s is superior to what the Russians have, but Eisenhower had it destroyed by threatening the Canadians..

    If that plane was produced it would have destroyed the US air industry.

    Of course the people wired in killed the deal, and their bank accounts reflect that. I blame the Canadian PM for not standing up on his hind legs to the Americans.
