Firefox from Sukhoi

Against the background of great habrashumi about the iPad, the news about the new military fighter of the Russian Air Force went unnoticed by Habr (just one topic with video clips of popular reports). Nevertheless, this flight was expected for about twenty years, and now it took place.

• According to the NATO classification, the plane was called ... Firefox.
• The aircraft is hardly noticeable for radar devices, while maintaining excellent flight performance. For example, it outperforms its closest competitor - F-22. There is no data on the comparison with the F-35.
• At the first test, the aircraft successfully completed things that could not be done by the more expensive F-35.
• Despite the superiority of quality, the fighter is likely to cost at least a third cheaper than the F-22.
• Despite the devastation of the 90s, the “clean” time for developing Firefox was less than the US took to develop the F-22.
• The plane lands and takes off at record short distances. For him, probably, aerodromes of a traditional kind will not be needed.
• Based on the development, together with the Indians, an aircraft will be created for the Indian Air Force. Software for it will be written by Indian programmers. :)

As a bonus, I bring a photo of the cockpit of the Su-35, on the basis of which, quite possibly, the cockpit of a promising fighter was



developed. I wish the development and we all have a clear sky above our heads.
