Good to see that RuAF is pushing T-50 for 2016 induction. Hopefully India get few of these for testing too.

You cannot compare a prototype with a mature platform. Also A government funded Struggling defence industry of russia cannot be compared with the multi billion American Aviation Industry.

PAKFA and J20 have great potential in future but i dont see END of US air dominance unless they prove them.

See you can find similar articles in defence journals of 80s that with advent of Mig29 and su27 American and Frenchbair dominance is over. But It is still the same.

Altough Russia China and India are on better sidenof the equition economically as compare to soviet union Against America and Allies so This mighy turnout differently

You should not overestimate the U.S. defense budget. A huge proportion of it goes to the maintenance of hundreds of bases around the world and on the carrier battle groups. In addition, one dollar for military development in the U.S. = 3 dollars in Russia.
