Our 5 generation aircraft will surpass everyone in the world.
Creating a new aircraft is currently engaged in the company "Sukhoi". According to the Commander-in-Chief of the Air Force, the T-50 will not be inferior in its characteristics to similar US aircraft. Zelin noted that currently there are no obstacles in the way of this task. “Everything is going according to plan, on time. In the 2013 year, we must get a preliminary opinion that will allow us to begin purchasing new aircraft. From 2015, the aircraft will begin to flow into the troops, ”said the commander in chief.

Compared with the fighters of previous generations, the T-50 has a number of unique features. For example, it combines the functions of a strike aircraft and a fighter. The aircraft will be multifunctional: it will be able to hit targets both on the ground and in the air at any time of day, regardless of weather conditions. A distinctive feature of the T-50 is super-maneuverability: the fighter is capable of making controlled flight at low speeds and high angles of attack.
T-50 has already managed to get the nickname "Russian stealth": the plane is almost imperceptible in the optical, infrared and radar wavelengths, is able to take off and land using the runway length of 300 – 400 m.
The general said that the Air Force Command plans to purchase more than 60 of such aircraft.
The Air Force Commander also announced plans to rearm the front and army aviation. The State Planning Commission for Arms, according to Zelin, is practically contemplated, will be implemented.

Zelin confirmed that Russia is developing orbital planes capable of operating in outer space. According to him, such developments are underway now everywhere. “We carry and we. We can not be in the train. There are developments, there is an understanding of how to do this, there are technical solutions, ”the general noted.
The commander told radio listeners about equipping four new Mistral-type ships that Russia plans to buy in France, two of which are planned to be built in Russia. “Our Ka-52 helicopters will be based on Mistrali,” said Zelin.
It also became known that the Air Force Command plans to create a unified scientific and training center for the Air Force in Voronezh by 2012 on the basis of the military university.
“By 2012, a unified scientific and training center for the Air Force will be created in Voronezh on the basis of the military university, which will include branches for training pilots and specialists Defense", Zelin said.
