Was about to say the same, the Russian jet has a very similar profile to that of the F-22

Looks a very tidy piece of kit, and I actually think its better looking that the F22

Well done those pesky meddling Russians

Just don't sell it to China hehe.

Look at a lot of the Russki Cold War jets, especially the bombers, and you'll notice a lot of similarities to their Western counterparts.

Seems the Russkies like to Copyski!

It's a good looking jet though, an almost Sukhoi 35 / F-22 Raptor hybrid.

Don't laugh... I believe our IPT's are already looking at the call centre/helpline idea. So India is the logical partnerDT_Xtremez_42:

Oh, well they must have plenty of money then, thankfully they have sorted all those poor people who suffered from Chernobyl, and when the roof on Chernobyl falls in....

I think they should get their priorities right instead of posturing. It's not impressing anyone exept their brainwashed population.
