Wow!
End Times ping..
Let me know if you want on/off of it.
They’re STEALTH fighters. How would we know?
Not our business. Assad has invited Russia to help defend his country and government against rebels who took up arms against their country and nations that have invaded Syria. That would be mostly the US.
Don’t worry folks, I saw a few thousand High School Kids on CNN yesterday that seem eager and ready for the Draft and War should we need them to defend this Country from the Democrats Friends.
Maybe we can arrange to “borrow” one, with Israeli help?
Would be nice to get a looksee on its performance
This base was attacked by mortars/drones last month. Several Russian personnel KIA. 7 aircraft destroyed, if reports are to be believed.
... an excuse to demonstrate new and advanced weaponry...
Kind of like one of those trade shows?
They’d be better off sending more smart bombs.
They’ve run out and are using plain ol’ iron bombs and miss. Lots.
Vlad is trying to scare up some orders—and money—for the PAK FA program. The aircraft has been in the words for over 20 years; as Moscow envisioned it, they would develop the aircraft and India would pay for it, with the respective air forces splitting the production run.
But as the program drags on (and costs continue to rise), Delhi has grown impatient. There have been persistent reports that the Indian Navy wants the F-35 and we’re willing to sell them the jet, they will cancel PAK FA, which would essentially kill the program. Without India’s financial backing, Putin can’t produce the jet in significant quantities on his own. Moscow has even told Delhi that the S-400 SAM deal will be cancelled unless India remains in the PAK FA program. India wants the S-400; they are now lukewarm (at best) on Russia’s fifth generation fighter.
"MOSCOW, March 1. /TASS/. Two Sukhoi Su-57 stealth fighter jets have successfully completed a two-day program of tests in Syria, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu told reporters on Thursday.
"Indeed, they were there for a while. Two days. During that time, they completed a program of trials, including combat ones," Shoigu said. "I can say that the trials were success and the planes returned home a week ago."
