India's First Stealth Fighter To Fly In 4 Months
xmpcray writes "Less than four months from now, India's first stealth fighter will fly for the first time. It is called the Fifth Generation Fighter Aircraft, or FGFA, and is being developed in Russia by Sukhoi. Several of the technologies being developed for the stealth fighter have evolved from those used in the Sukhoi 30 MKI. Considered the most maneuverable fighter in the world, the Sukhoi 30 MKI uses thrust vectored engines, which deflect the exhaust from its engines to extreme angles, enabling the jet to pull off violent maneuvers like a flat spin — where the jet literally spins around on its axis."
That would be one way to mix a martini, yes.
A flat spin killed Goose.
After logging in slashdot still does not take you back to the page you were on. It's been that way for 20 years.
And if no one can see them, that means they are extra stealthy.
It's certainly a lot cheaper than actually making them.

What if enemy also has stealth?
I'll have to check but I don't think he's allowed to.

Why is that substitution global - he only used the word once.
The German gun was for firing at a relatively immobile target, commonly referred to as Paris.

So they outsourced it?

Is it just me or does anyone else think the Indian pilots won't be thrilled with flying a "PAK"-anything?
