he reason this thread has continued is simple. You are a idiot who has not been keeping up with current events.
People have tried reason (People who know a lot more about aviation than you)And yet you carry on with your nonsense.
Lets take apart your idiocy in concise form shall we? Lets take a look at the glorious SU-47 or Golden eagle as it is known.
Number of production aircraft in Flight -------
zero
Problems with the forward swept wing The Americans tested the forward swept wing concept
20 years ago and found it to more awkward due to issues with wing shearing. Despite advances in modern materials and design they still haven't adopted it due to poor performance at high speeds. In fact all the new computer generated images for the PAK-FA DON'T have that design and have a wing design similar to the F-22.
Stealth The SU-47 relies upon a RAM coating (As opposed to the more effective radar absorbing structures) as its primary means of stealth. This is much makes each aircraft subject to production and maintenance quality. Any small problem would greatly decrease the effectiveness of the stealth. And Russian production standards are much looser.
Why would they choose such a method? technological limitations......
Now the T-50 where do we start with that. Well lets start withe following with the highlighted relevant portions to sink into your thick skull.
The government commission decided on
26 April 2002 to choose the Sukhoi holding company as the head company to develop and produce the fighter of the fifth generation. The prototype of the PAK FA would take-off in 2006 and that in 2010 the aircraft would be ready for series production. The first deliveries, both for Russian armed forces and for export, would be possible in 2011-12.
The new airplane is being proposed to be brought from the concept design to a prototype series in less than 9 years. Historically, fourth and fifth generation fighters have not been created in less than 15 years. The Russian government has promised to allocate 1.5 billion dollars for the PAK FA through 2010. But the Russian Air Force is receiving less than 200 million dollars a year during this period, and will spend it primarily on other needs.
The prices and sources of funding will determine the destiny of the whole program.
To date officials agree that the program will cost $1.5 billion. However, $1.5 billion is the sum needed for creating a new generation of avionics for the fighter (considering the fact that pre-production models of the phased array have already been produced, and will soon be tested).
Completion of the AL-41F engine (present readiness is 30 percent) will require, in the opinion of the boss of Rosaviakosmos, 600 - 800 million dollars. Saturn said that launching of production of the AL-41F engine would take $150 million.
An improved version of the AL-31F will be used on the aircraft originally (though it is not clear how these heavy motors are reconciled with the concept of a 20-ton fighter). The upgrade of these engines will require expenditures of 1.2-1.5 billion dollars. And finally, designers will have to spend several hundred millions of dollars on creating a new airframe.
According to some reports, India and Russia have agreed to jointly develop this fifth-generation fighter, under a scheduled with entery into service in 2009. This would be the first such joint development venture between the two countries.

Now Batmannow please READ the above and tell me where the airplane is? Or the FUNDING for the airplane?
So far funding is only a fraction of that needed. And they are trying to do it in less time for less money.
you are trying to "balance" something that is not equal ERGO the scorn that is being poored upon you. Now take a look at the points I have have made and then tell me counter points If you cannot (ANd you haven't so far) then this thread will be closed because you are wasting everyone's time.
