The Sukhoi T-50 was created jointly between Russia and India, and seems to be aimed at rivaling the United States’ F-22 Raptor. The proposed feature list looks pretty impressive:
- All-weather flight
- Ability to use a take-off strip of just 300-400 meters
- In-flight refueling capable
- Advanced avionics
- Simultaneous attacks on air and ground targets.
- Minimal radar cross-section
But not everyone is raving over it. Military analyst Pavel Felgenhauer only said, “It’s just a prototype lacking new engines and a new radar.” No specifications out yet, and we’ll have to wait on a few more flights to see how it really handles.
