Looks like it was modeled after our F-15.

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!

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 sometimeback in the90'sI believe.

Our Raptors can do THAT? I guess you meant that as "OH MY GAWD THEY MAKE OUR NEW HOVERING FIGHTERS LOOK LIKE MUSH"

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 Raptorso 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.
