Is it just my eyes playing tricks on me, or is that jet doing controlled free-falls? That must have some pretty high-tech gyroscopes on there. I'm freakin' amazed!

I would LOVE to take a ride in one of those!!
ZYNE -> RE: Russians (2/8/2007 12:05:02 PM)
Thrust vectoring at it's finest .. same technology as in our F-22 but looks to be a tad on the .. umm .. better side. And the SU-30 MK has been around for a while ...introduced sometime back in the 90's I believe.
HummerGuy -> RE: Russians (2/8/2007 12:09:31 PM)
Our Raptors can do THAT? I guess you meant that as "OH MY GAWD THEY MAKE OUR NEW HOVERING FIGHTERS LOOK LIKE MUSH" [:D][:D]
ZYNE -> RE: Russians (2/8/2007 1:00:49 PM)
Nope, they don't have THAT kind of agility .. at least not from the footage I've seen of em. We make some of the electronics on the Raptor so select people here have actually seen a few of the test flights .. But the little I've heard of it, it's not quite what the russians are capable of in their MK .. they got themselves a hell of plane in my opinon!

Zoo .. by all means, I'm all ears .. do elaborate here. If you have some inside info us as a defense contractor actively involved in the development and manufacturing of said F22 Raptor doesn't have .. you probably should step forward and point out our mistakes .. Or is it simply that Ivan just can not have a better piece of hardware than us just because it's .... ummm Ivan?
Thanx :P

Zyne, you're right. the SUKOI 27 was already mind blowing, do you remember the COBRA, only SUKOI was able to do that.
the SUKOI 30 is essentially the same plane with upgraded electronics and weapons system.
HummBob -> RE: Russians (2/10/2007 4:24:36 AM)
Man, I though RUSSIA as a whole was BANKRUPT???? When the hell did they start building new jets???
JM -> RE: Russians (2/10/2007 5:30:34 AM)
Its, by no means, a ''new jet''.it's an upgraded SU27 which is abt 15/20 years old design.
ZYNE -> RE: Russians (2/10/2007 11:31:24 PM)
Could someone tell me what happened to my reply!? Are posts getting deleted for some reason!?!!?!?!! If so, could someone PM me and let me know WHY it was removed ... Don't think that's too much to ask.
Dennis -> RE: Russians (2/10/2007 11:37:28 PM)
Zoo had deleted all of his posts...your's seems kind of empty standing out there alone...like you were talking to yourself...see what I mean...Nothing personal, just look wierd...so I tidied up a bit..That's all[:)]
