• T-50-1, first flight worthy air vehicle, first taxi test runs were on 2.4· IDEC ,09 with two taxi test runs (T-5IOI--10 static test vehicle and T ... 5'O-2 avionics test vehicle)

• Performed low and high-speed taxi tests at Dzerngl airfleld on 2:1--2 . .2 JAN 1'0, with "one

of the best test pilots" at the controls

Dzerngi air fore's base shares airfleld with KnMP'O' at Komsomolsk-na-Amure Aircraft performed fLGi rotation and release of brake parachute

Plane looks flat, as other sources havesaid

•. Months alga ~t was said that it. was flat Uk€! a toad

• On~v the ca tilopy area looks humped

Verti'cal stabilizers are trapezoidal and all-movable

INlos!e looks canted downward.with the' tai~ being elevated

• During taxi tests photos and video was tal ken

• "Flrst fllght is soon" next week at OCnAAPOlbutAn~124.is awaiting at Dzemgi on 2Sth1 so intrigue was evident ,on whether it would be at Zhukovskv or KnAAPO'fieldl

PAK-FA. (T -50) to Start Testing in April 2010

• T-501 will start a standard flight test program in April, a source at the Sukhoi

aircraft maker said on Mondaly,l MAR 1,10

[He said it wouilid take "several y,earsU to complete the testing program Current prototype 'was designed by the' Sukhoi design bureau

Builtat a plant In Kornsomolsk-on-Arnur, in Russia's Far East

~[twin be delivered to the, Russian Air Force from 2015 onwards

Russian offlcials have already hailed the fighter as II a, unique warplane" that combines the' capabi llties ofan air superiorltv fighter and attackaircraft

·T-SOI is to, undergo more than 2,000 flight tests Ibefore full-scale production starts, Prime' Ministervladimir Putin said Mondav, 1 M,AR 101

• He also said now tlhat Russia hada fifth-generation prototype fighter,

it should startworking on a new-generation long-range strategic bomber (PAK-DA) tlhat Ihe described as "an airborne missile-carrier"

Tupolev aircraft maker said last year that a new ... generation strategic bomber would be developed by 2017, while production should start in .202.0 to 2.025

However, MlaJ~ Gen. Anatoly Zhikharev, commander of Russia's strateglcavlatlon said a new strategic bomber, which would use stealth technology, was expected to enter service in 2025. to .2030

N,ew bomber will replace three aircraft currently ln service with Russia's strategic aviatlon, the' Tru~9.sMC Bear and Tu~160 BlllackJack strategic bombers, introduced ~n 195.16 and 1980, respe'ctivel~y, andTu~22.M3 Backfire long-range bombers.which first f~le'w 'in 19'7.2

India/Russia Close, to Pact on PAK-FA. Fighter

• Late last vear, a defense ministry delegation tal Sukhoi's flagshipaircraft facllity ln Siberia became the first Indians to set ey,es upon the' next-generation fighter thatis slated to form the backbone of the future ~ndiatnA~r Force (IAF)

• In that first meeting, 'carefully choreographed by Sukhol, the new fighter, standing on the tarmac waved a we,I'colm'e to the lndlans, moving all its control fins simultaneously

Th@ effect, recounts one mernbercf that di@l@galtion]f was electric

Th@ senlor ~AIF offlcer there walked sllentlv up to the aircraft and touched it almost. lneredulouslv

This was. the Sukhoi T .. SO, the first technology demonstrator of wnalt lndia terms the Fifth Generation Fighter Aircraft (FGFA)

Senior defense ministry sources tell Business Standard that - after five years of haggling over the fG FA's form, capabilities and work-share - a detailed contract on joint development is just around the corner

Contract, which Bangalore .. based Hindustan Aeronautics ltd (HAL)wi~~ sign with Russia's Unit,edA~rcraft Corporation (UAC)" will commit to building 2.S0 fighter (SO single-seatand .2.00 twin~s,eat) for the IAF and an equal number for Russia

Option for further orders wm be kspt open: HAL and UAC wm be equal partners mn ,a [oint 'venture company Cost of developing the FGIFA, which would be shared between both countries, w~U be $8 .. 10 bllllon (Rs 37,000 .. 4.5,000 crore)

Over and above that say lA-IF and defense lmlinistry SOLlJr'C@S, each fGFA willi cost 86 to 10.8 million (Rs 400~SOO crors]

Implications of the Debut of PAIK-FA

• Clearlv the PAK-FA aircraft has been designed with a clear 'understanding ,of the effects of low-observabilltv on air combat 'when both sides have sUlch, aircraft

• PAK-FAhous,es a Ilarge Internal weapon bav:

- Larger i nte rna II carriage ,of LRAAMs and MRAA,Mls

- Up to eight R-77s and two R-74 AAIMs

- Air-to-surface missile carriage for the' AIRIMs" AS,Ms and ASMls

• Obvlouslv, the combatants willll be closer when their radar sensors detect the other side, so close in fact that the lnfraRed Scan and Track (II RST) might be th,e' 'first sensor to detect the presence of an enemy aircraft

- PAK-IFA h,a,s IRST capability while the F-22A ,dloes not

• Extreme agilltv ofthe PAK-FA could In a 'knife fight' potentlallv out-maneuver the F~,22A in sUlch an engagement

- Sukhoi has extensive experience ln designing aircraft that operate at high angles of .att,ac:k(AoA) as demonstrated bv various members of the Su·-27/-35 farnllv

Interesting Questions about PAK-FA?

• Can Russla produce in numbers such an expensive aircraft?

0'0 the Russians have an understanding of producing, manufacturing and malntainlng an low-observable aircraft?

Can Russia's emerging composites lndustrv keep upwith production? Wi'll the IPAK~FA engine be readly on tlme? 'Can the Russians produce it in quality and with, the required rellabllltv?

Wi'11 the program's avlonics and datalinks (noted by various websources to be al laser comrnunlcatlons/datallnk system) be readv by 2015,?

Hlow different win the production aircraft be from, the development one? What differences cain be expected in the twin-seater as well as the carrier variants? Wlhat other variants could be expected?

• Win PAK~FA lead to a IUC.AV variant?

• Wilill Russian funding endure long enough to get the aircraft from

development to production?

What impact, If any will lndla have on the development and production tlrnellne?

What happens If lndlan funding is withdrawn?

'. Wh,alt "lessons learned" from PAK-FA will beapplied to PAK-DA7'

WHI PAK-DA (strateglc bomber replace for the Tu-16IOJ be ready as stated by 2020 to 2013,'0? WUII,de'~ays in, PAK-FA, dellay IPAK-D'A?
