Aquaman looks really gay.

Perhaps WW is a fag hag.

We ought to buy one and give it a trial flight before ordering 500 more if we like it.

Yeah I don’t think so. Unless they’re actually plastic all the way thru. Exposed engine nacelles, underwing hard points, vertical stabilizers near perpendicular to the fusilage.... I don’t think so.

If they’re invisible why were they veiled?

Exposed engines/outlets (hard IR sources), and no thrust vectoring. The Russians have been good in the past with aerodynamics, but . . .

Just because the Russians advertise them as stealthy, or Gen 5, does not make it so. The Russians will sacrifice stealth for speed & agility. We will sacrifice speed & agility to get the first-look/first-shot. Who is right?

The F14 has variable geometry wings. The Sukhoi-57 wings are fixed, not variable.
