They should be drunk with lips and honey ... In words, everything works out perfectly for us, but everyone knows what they are doing with our aircraft industry! As if these planes were not the only ones released (aerobatic teams are really unnecessary to us). As with the NK 93 engine.

not, they’ll type them, then during the stage they’ll break, and the money for them will be cut.

Great news, pride takes when you look at the T-50. A great example of how breakthrough directions are developing for the entire military-industrial complex as a whole, despite the malicious comments of online profane people.

Varnaga - hello, why do you think the T-50 has a braided flashlight ??? The Amer is one-piece, the Chinese one-piece and the link to the fact that this is a type of prototype obviously will not work ... Maybe there are again problems in the technology of glass production? (This problem was already in the 70s and the beginning of the 80s, but then the backlog seemed to be leveled). The answer is, at the level that it will already be solid in serial games somehow ...
