I was watching Al-Jazeera today and there was this report and subsequent interview from one of the defence experts from Janes Defence, reguarding the likelyhood of the Saudis signing a $60billion deal with the USA. The went on to talk about other big defence buyers in the local region, so India was mentioned and its tender for 126 aircraft, que the pictures of a smooth flying russian jet and the mention of the interviewer of the PAK-FA as competitor to the F22 as the russians and indians would have advertised. I could not then believe what the expert then said. At first he laughed and then said, 'the russian are good at designing planes that look good and can do amazing moves at air shows in tight boxes, but to compare the PAK-FA as even a serious threat to the F22 is just laughable. The f22 is decades ahead in avionics, software packages, weapons, not forgetting the stealth. The nearest country to the US in stealth is at least 10-15 years behind then US. the russians always claim alot as the indians do, but not one of their jets has stood against any western jet and is unlikley to as the gap in technology between the two sides is widening'.
I have to say this guy really knows his stuff, so i am likely to trust his opinion.
The interview took place at 5.35pm gmt today (19/9/2010)
