+SayethWhaaaa Posted July 17, 2021 Posted July 17, 2021 Unveiling a new fighter, or a new PR campaign directed at the West? Where Russia falls short on technical acumen (the fantastic Su-27/30/34/35 series notwithstanding), they more than make up for it with flashy media releases that overstate their technical prowess and military strength. It's interesting this is happening now, after a tumultuous year of widespread civil unrest... 4
+Gepard Posted July 17, 2021 Posted July 17, 2021 Seems to be the MiG LMFS prototype or mock up. The russians are working on this plane since a couple of years. This plane could be seen as a confession, that the Su-57 is to expensive for a nation with mediocre economic power like Russia. 2
+Gepard Posted July 17, 2021 Posted July 17, 2021 (edited) Su-22 was NATO Code Fitter, eastern nickname "Susi". Completly other plane. If i have understood it correctly on next Tuesday we will learn more about the new russian bird. Edited July 17, 2021 by Gepard
Nesher Posted July 18, 2021 Posted July 18, 2021 Looks like they haven't learned about the need for visibility from the cockpit https://www.reddit.com/r/aviation/comments/omraci/new_sukhoi_lts_checkmate_mediumsize_5th/
+MigBuster Posted July 18, 2021 Author Posted July 18, 2021 Looks like that has been deleted but there is some speculation here: https://theaviationist.com/2021/07/18/new-image-checkmate-design/ Video https://t.me/s/istorijaoruzija
+Menrva Posted July 18, 2021 Posted July 18, 2021 Just for fun, someone suggested Boeing sold the data of the X-32 to Russia. I find it so amusing if only it were true. Indeed the front intake gives smiley X-32 vibes.
+Gepard Posted July 18, 2021 Posted July 18, 2021 If i look to the available pictures i think what they show us is a "Maket", or to use the neglish term a mock up. Not more, not less. It is on the same level like the BAE Tempest, what the Tommies showed for a while. The experience show us, that between Maket and the real plane can be a lot of differences.

+Gepard Posted July 20, 2021 Posted July 20, 2021 Seems to be that someone has made this bird for SF2. The terrain looks like SF2E stock terrain.

+Gepard Posted July 20, 2021 Posted July 20, 2021 Impressive. But first i want to see the plane flying. 2 2
+SayethWhaaaa Posted July 20, 2021 Posted July 20, 2021 Looks like this one might even be stealthy. Gonna be interesting to see when this is operational, considering the Su-57 has been around for over a decade and is still languishing in testing... 1
Viggen Posted July 20, 2021 Posted July 20, 2021 (edited) Well until NATO gives it a designation, I'm going to dub it the 'Fartbox' Seeing some people suggest it looks very similar to an old Northrop design, the MRF-54E Edited July 20, 2021 by Viggen 1 1
