[Hi Rapier
When it comes to good materials the russians must be excluded.
First of all during the Cold War the russians were designig aircraft without thinking about pilot's safety just because in their mentality of comunists the man must give his life in war. This mentality led the russians into disastrous aircraft catastrophes. Even now I don't think they changed their mentality. If the russians will be a day a state like United States in terms of democratic and economic mentalities I'm sure that their aircraft will be the first in the world.
This is my opinion. If I can help you with some more inf. just let me know.
TIGER (the Su27 pilot)

Hi Tiger,

This is amazing! They put the aircraft before the pilot! I cant understand why they did not concentrate on pilot saftey and comfort. Pilot safety because if the aircraft is only partly destroyed and the pilot mildly injured he could fly back to base and they both could live to fight another day and comfort because this is important and stops bad physical problems from ocurring from G over the years as well as being able to operate well. I did not know this! This is crazy thinking! Think of all the great pilots Tiger that have died to this kind of thinking?

This is very interesting Tiger! I knew pilots were expendable, but this takes the cake.

By the way what do you think of Flanker 2.0. It's due to come out soon for sim users, looks amazing. You can practice doing the Cobra then Tiger!

By the way what are the main differences between the SU-27 and SU-35, I think it's SU-35?

Regards

Rapier.
