[quote]The First Vice-Premier Sergey Ivanov himself announced that PAK FA will take off in 2008. Time wise Russian plane lags behind the US F-22 and JSF (F-35), but Russian designers keep saying [u]that PAK FA will be not the first, but the best.[/u][/quote]  :mrgreen:  

[quote]Commander of the Air Force also confirmed that Russia does not need to accelerate the PAK FA program in the context of the plans of the US to deploy its fifth generation F-22 in Alaska.[/quote]

[quote]Let’s remind that that F-22 program was once suspended in early 90s and re-opened just recently. According to some unofficial military sources in Russia one of the reasons why it was suspended was the super efficient performance of the Russian air-defense complex S-300, which at that time was demonstrated for the first time at the international show in Abu-Dhabi. The designer of S-300 Boris Bunkin suggested holding immediate comparison tests between S-300 and the US patriot. The Americans refused. Building a 120 million dollars worth aircraft which can be hit down by a single missile was economically senseless.[/quote]   :mrgreen:[/quote]
