Hi Rapier
Nice to here you again!
The West will have to develop new weapon systems and electronics because they lost the game with aerodinamics.
The MIG29 is the MIG29 but what do you say about the SU35 updated with these western avionics? What match will you find for him? I say no match. (Maybe F22)
The F22 can turn better in some situations.

Hi Tiger,

I'm glad you are back because I wanted to ask you about this because it is very interesting. I can say 100% that it is absolutely true and the MIG-29M's are going to be updated soon, but I will try to find out which country is going for the update. When I read the article I said exactly the same thing about it being a true match now for the F-16. Do you think that the west will again be designing new and improved systems to again gain the advantage in this area?

Regards

Hi Tiger,

Yes It is true and this is serious business if the SU-35 gets updated as well, this could mean bad news for western defence. But saying this It could also mean that the west may be holding back on some key features of the system and make the east believe that they are giving them the same systems when they are not doing so and still trying to hold some advantage. If they are doing this I still believe that planes like the SU-35 have some kind of manuverability advantage. Dont forget that the west is developing the F-22 (like you said) and the JSF so this is where the advantage could be. People belive that they know lot's about these programes but I think there is lots of more secret developments that we dont know about conserning these aircraft, but they will be truly awsome and the ball will be back in the court of western countries.

What has happened to Russia's own stealth program? I now they are experiencing financial difficulties at the moment but I find it is still ok to put pencil to paper and improve the ideas further. Maybe now they have stealth technology in their hands they will learn something new and improve it further, they are good in this area. Do you know anything about the stealth program please tell!
