Looks like the Russins don't limit their use of photocopiers to backside copying at office parties. ;)

Great looking machine! Always liked the Sukhois, ever since those two beat up Brunty at Big Thunder! STILL the best display I've EVER seen!!
NB; Any negative comments I post about the Vulcan are posted SOLELY to wind Gregg up!

Add some Cannards and Clint Eastwood = Firefox ;)

Nice looking beastie. Agree that Sukhois DO look the part, mean lean and VERY agile. (Why can't we have stuff like that... ~x( )

Looks like the SU-47 prototype has humped a F-22 :))
Thanks for sharing DF :)

Reminds me more of the old Northrop YF-23 more than the F-22 with those wide tail fins and it's large size.

Still prefer the 'cobra' style fuselage shape of the Sukhoi 27 though.
This is my sig:

I hope it's not too inflammatory and I hope that certain people wont completely misunderstand it like they did with the last one. X(

Pretty obvious about the monetry issue and lack of foresight from HM Government. Probably why this countries Armed Forces are so 'out of date' compared to the rest of the world.

God help us - if push came to shove on a bigger scale.

How many countries are we discussing here? :p

I suppose if push really came to shove, the MoD could buy back 558 - might solve a lot of problems in one go. :D
