Russia makes the most beautiful aircrafts. No one can disagree with that.

>It was far from a state-of-the-art solution and a more modern bypass turbojet engine would have been preferable in terms of fuel economy, but in compensation that R-95Sh had plenty of power, and was very rugged and reliable as well. It was also not fussy about the grade of fuel it used, and could even burn diesel fuel in a pinch.

the bird was burning right after landing, so anything that lead to that pic must start before it land and stop before that pic be taken

That reminds me, time to start the daily thread.

>nobody realizes that no crashed soviet prototypes are out because they live in dictatorship
>>22842462
Russians made ONE beautiful fighter.
The rest aren't worth mentioning on any scale.
>>22843138
I wonder what the advantage of setting up the wings like that was
>>22843149
Reduced stall velocity, greater maneuverability across the flight envelope. Cons include but are not limited to: high inherent instability, more expensive construction (wingflex related, look it up on wikipedia).
>>22843149
Reduce tip stalls, allowing for higher AOA. Good for low speed and high g maneuvers.
>>22843105
>>nobody realizes that no crashed soviet prototypes are out because they live in dictatorship
tfw you can find Su-27 history on the net
the point is this a slavshit thread, don't go fullretard posting offtopic shit and bragging about it

Heh, that's right, even these small hospital choppers back in France look big.
Well, looked. I can't unsee the majestic mass of the Mi-26.

Russian planes are awesome and beautifuls, i agree.
But as a French, i love French ones.

I get such a boner over Dassault planes and the SEPECAT Jaguar. I have no idea why.

i am a slavboo but have fall in love with Rafale after watching that French science tv that have a dude doing model stuff inside a truck, and talking with another dude(sometime a girl) through a TV. awesome shot
>>22844392
I know what you talking about, the show is called "C'est pas sorcier".
I fell in love with the French combat helicopter "Gazelle" because of this show ;-)
>>22844459
>I fell in love with the French combat helicopter "Gazelle" because of this show ;-)
Any specific reasons?
>>22844496
No specifics reasons, i discovered it because of the show, i was very young, and i find this heli ans the Dauphin II the most beautifuls helis on earth.
They are fast, slender, and i like their fenestron tail rotor.
>>22844496
imagine your average MH6
but
at the same time you carry troops, you have a lot of weapons to choose to mount on it, such as a 20mm auto canon, some kind of french made hellfire, left or right 7.62 door gunner MG, rockets pods, and many other shit you can do in a mini-huey

I'll admit, the Su-35 is the sexist plane around.
But I can't draw my eyes from the F-16 Block 60 either.

1 pak-fa?

It's also got good stall speed and was considered for a carrier aircraft at one point.

You have like 150 jets, pretty decent airforce for your size.
>>22851316
Su-25 is the Russian analogue to the A-10, yes.
In fact, the Su-25 looks very similar to the aircraft that came second place to the A-10 in the CAS aircraft competition.
Su-25 is not so much BRRT as it is about carrying a lot of rockets and "WOOSHOOSHOSHOSHOSHOSH" etc. It's also pretty fast once it's fired all its munitions.
Quite a few Ukrainian Su-25s have been knocked out by AA in Donbass region, though. They're vulnerable :(
>>22851327

see
>>22844859
>>22844675
Also if one puts pilots with less than 100 hours of flight time into a machine of war, do not expect success. Ukrainian pilots are barely flight worthy by Russian standards, and not at all by American.
>>22851510
I'm not saying stolen, just saying that it's a nice example of convergent evolution.
>>22851510
It costs a million to two million per year to keep pilots trained up.
Su-25 costs 11 million....
It might not be worth it for small countries to have trained pilots. Might actually be cheaper to lose the damn planes.

Yes, I'm sure getting rid of all your kinetic energy in some dumb Cobra move will improve your chances in a dogfight.
>>22860311
I'm sure getting rid of your missiles energy in some dumb turn will help it hit the target.
Protip: The entire reason you want energy in a firefight is the ability to leverage it for position and lend it to fired ordinance.

However, not in the way the gif seems to prescribe.
Do that in an actual fight and you'll just get yourself killed.
No b-1b Lancer. I am disappoint.
>>22841751
Upon closer inspection of most Russian aircraft you'd be saddened by the piss poor build quality and you'll never ever be able to look at them the same again.
I once watched an Indian/Russian (Sukhoi engineers) during Redflag go through 2-3 engine failures in multiple aircraft, all engines pairs had to be scuttled from different aircraft and the broken engines had to be sent back to Russia, because the Ruskies don't give/sell spares.
>>22860772
yeah unfortunately engines seem to be a huge issue with slavshit.
They tend to design them for incredibly short service lives (<500 hours). The American CONSTANT PEG program had huge issues with this, due to the fact that they had to learn how to rebuild the engine from scratch if they were to really test the captured equipment.
Other issues include things like the compressor blades shearing off into the engines at high Gs.
>>22841986
The su-34s cockpit kinda ruins it.
>>22842305
Whats going on in this picture is he stuck or something?
>>22842362
Pretty much any jet engine can be run using any flammable substance in liquid or gaseous phase, this is not a unique feature of russian engines.
>>22860397
Energy is relative, and far more than forward speed, it's also altitude for example (Ep).
>>22860403
Not more than an enemys short range missile fired in a way that they don't have to waste half their fuel turning.
>>22860510
>However, not in the way the gif seems to prescribe.
True, but it's a good high risk suicide maneuver.
For example, if someone is chasing an F-35, all it can do is keep going forward and fire AIM-9x. Then the missile has to curve around and waste fuel trying to maneuver for you. This lowers the range at which the missile can engage chasing foes, and any chasing foe can attack you well out of off bore AIM9X range.
However a F-22 or some other TVC aircraft can do a more advantageous thing by using extremely high AoE to slow themselves almost below stall, forcing an enemy to close range (because he isn't doing the same move) and slipping a few hundred feet below him at which point you lock on and fire a missile directly at his belly. The missile doesn't have to turn so there's far more chance you'll hit the guy at the same range he can hit you.
The key idea here is forcing him to close range. Without that, a higher chasing combatant can just plink at a lower chased all day at his leisure. Your engine ass is turned to him so he has a perfect IR picture as well.
The perfect countermove to this would actually be for the enemy to accelerate to max dry airspeed.
>>22860772
>Upon closer inspection of most Russian aircraft you'd be saddened by the piss poor build quality and you'll never ever be able to look at them the same again.
You are now realizing that a lot of photography of US planes is done as a photo op, and they're actually just as dirty. Because they're working planes.

Is a myth spread by colonel Terence Fornof, and it's basically a lie he told his intro class as entertainment.
The Indians were told to watch for FOD on US airfields, their commanders told them Americans like to litter and that the pilots would be paying for any damage to the aircraft. During that same red flag USA had more issues that grounded them.
