Russian Air Force Commander, said about the superiority of the PAK FA over the F-22 and J-20.
A comparative analysis of the characteristics of the Russian fifth generation fighter T-50 with the American F-22 and Chinese J-20, we can conclude that the PAK FA is greater than their foreign counterparts on indicators such as maximum speed (as afterburner ) maximum range, thrust, the magnitude of the maximum realizable overload "- said Zelin.
According to Air Force Commander, a Russian prototype is comparable to foreign counterparts in size and weight, but it "has a much smaller quantity run and run" and "looks better" foreign competitors on the characteristics of airborne equipment.
According to the plan of the Ministry of Defence, the PAK-FA should be different from those of the previous generation of aircraft better on-board electronics, the presence of the "electronic pilot" and promising radar with a phased array. Fighter F-22 entered service with the U.S. Air Force in 2005, and the Chinese J-20 is still under development, and its first flight took place in early 2011.
The new Russian aircraft, which is engaged in the development of the company "Sukhoi", combines the functions of the fighter and attack aircraft. At present, the test involved three PAK FA prototype, committed, according to the February 8, more than 120 flights. Later this year, the tests should join the fourth fighter.
