The F-22 uses meta materials, the field of science was only recognized in the 1990's
Flankers use things that already existed in the 1970's except that improvements on these things allowed them to fit on planes

Your argument would be stronger if you had some credible evidence
Chinese scientists create metamaterial black hole
How about some examples of Russian metamaterial technology similar to this?
Nano ram is not made by Russia

I never called the PAK-FA 1970's technology
I called the Flankers 1970's technology just like people would call the hummers 1970's
Sensor fusion is not new, it is technology that has been used in factories for a long while now factories sensors would measure the weight and temperature and...
Theres a clear difference between something new and something that is an upgrade.
Say building a car engine, now car engines have been around quite awhile. The first car engine had extremely efficiency, but every 10 years changes have been made to the car engine that made it more fuel...
Fine I admit that I was wrong about the stealth ships
Based on scientific papers along Russia is only at the tip of the iceburg, countries in Africa have papers on metamaterials and etc... too but one would not say that they have broken in

The topic of the thread is can the T-50 exceed the F-22. I am just voicing my beliefs.
While the Russians have made some very fine flankers, most of the technology are upgrades of 1970's technology.
You wouldn't say that the hummer 21st century car is incorporates technology that...
The reports for China, Russia and India are all up to 2007
Take a look at this, basically a report on China's science
China's Science Surge Rolls On - ScienceWatch.com
And compare it with this, basically a report on Russia's science

Actually the 19th century of the USA was considered most corrupt, afterall that was the time when the robber barons took over.
If you look at history the USA, the USA has always been corrupt except at one point during the world wars and cold war phases.
The politicians in the USA may be...
Russia is just as diverse as India with Russians and Hindus being both 80%
They are doing fine with an autocratic system
The USSR was even more diverse than Russia today, Russians only made up 50% of USSR.
They also used a autocratic system.
What India needs to do is create their own system of government. They should not seek to emulate the west or China because these cultures are fundamentally different from each other. India needs to get rid of their colonial mentality.
So basically your entire argument is that Russia is technologically advanced, but they just keep it a secret from the world. We just don't produce any scientific breakthroughs or have industries that utilize our technological advancements.

A more logical comparison would be planes made in the 1970's = Toyota camry
Recently produced Flankers = Hummers
F-22 = Tesla roadster
Just because you have experience making cars that run on gasoline does not translate to success in making an all electric car.
So far Russia has just...
These would be considered Flak jackets, light but strong enough to stop strapnel. They are being used.
There would be no point in talking kinetic energy as kinetic energy is not much of a deciding factor, a lighter round with a steel core penetrator will easily pass through more vests than a...
It depends on WHO you are fighting
If you are fighting Russian terrorists who use AK-74, VSS Vintorez, Dragunov Sniper rifle and they have armor penetrating rounds it is better to use no armor.
If you are fighting in Afghanistan where most of the people are using AK-47 or fighting...
The people that blackwater deals with are not low grade terrorists, and each blackwater mercenary is paid $100,000+ a year
Each USA marine is paid like $5,000 a year
Blackwater Mercenaries are ELITE soldiers
Also French Foreign legion in Yugoslavia, little to no armor
Now look at French foreign legion in Afghanistan see all the heavy armor they bring to the party?
The militants in Yugoslavia are EXTREMELY well armed with modern weapons mostly stolen/bought from the Russian...
Also look at the Blackwater mercenaries these guys are PROFESSIONAL soldiers, killing people is their career most of them unlike the marine who's goal is to get college money and leave the military
