re: Russia unveiled its new 'Checkmate' fighter jet

Russia has always lagged WAY behind the US in aviation engineering/technology. It might be their best fighter ever. It is likely equivalent to our best fighter 10+ years ago.

Looks like toys filmed at an angle to look life-sized. Sort of how they film car commercials.

I’m guessing she doesn’t fly very well. While she is thin and aerodynamic on the lower end, the 2 massive protrusions on the top end might drag her down and cause her to stall.

Cool.
Can we see it flying?

Looks like we're playing checkers and they are playing chess.

A poorly produced rip off of the F 22.
They can afford to produce ten or twelve.

US already has a 6th gen prototype that has flown.
Its triangular, has no vertical stabilizer, and will run with a fleet comprised of 40% drones.

Yep. Its their version.
The Su 57 looks to be problematic for them, the engines are still under development. The original engines suck for that aircraft.

Biden’s military will take it out by throwing their dildos at it.

Nothing about that image scares me.
Traditional jet exhaust means it is susceptible to common IR guided missiles
Does not appear to do a great job with radar redirection
anyone else think that wing is absurdly thin given the amount of lift it would have to generate?

and again, china and russia can tell everyone in the world they have fighters that compare to like the f22 and everything, but theres A BIG difference in having the systems and being able to actually deploy it into a war zone
we have a massive advantage there. and dont even get me started on this shite that we undoubtedly have but are keeping secret to everyone
This is actually a big reason why the F-35 (along with the whole multi-use aspect) is having problems. If those get worked out, it's going to be SO FAR ahead of anything Russia or China could imagine producing.
