Russia Lists PAK FA export countries

[SomeGuy]

RUSSIA WILL NEVER SELL FIFTH GEN. AIRCRAFTS TO CHINA AND ITS BCOZ.....
1.NO OFFENCE BUT CHINA DOES MAKE REVERSE ENGG. OF AIRCRAFTS
2.INDIA HAS 50% SHARE IN THE PROJECT. AND WE WILL NEVER AGREE TO SELL CHINA.

ALSO I DON'T THINK THAT RUSSIA WILL SELL THIS AIRCRAFT TO WEST EUROPEAN COUNTRIES BCOZ MANY OF THESE COUNTRIES ARE ALLIES OF USA. THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THAT USA CAN ACCESS THOSE PLANES. WE ALL KNOW THAT USA HAS 5TH GEN. FIGHTERS BUT EVERY PLANE HAS ITS SPECIAL TECHS. AND ADVANTAGES OVER OTHER PLANES.

If that's the case then Russia shouldn't sell this to anyone because there will always be a way for either USA or China to examine its capabilities.

Why ? this upgraded su-27 is far better than your not upgraded yet jf-17 aka j-xx..

I can smell some BBQs. Once ppl are doing good reasoning why are you trolling.

look at the year list man are he nuts!!!!!!!!!

Nope.. its fair enough. Even if Russia get first delivery of PAK-FA in 2016... it will still take a few more years before the production line becomes fully operational. Russia will only start exporting once their required number is met. If you were to order F-35 now, you are certainly not going to get it before 2030.

Yup , 6 Billion is th R&D cost being paid by india , the total cost of PAKFA/FGFA project is somewhere around 22 Billion USD
Indian govenment has also set aside 25 Billion USD for acquisition of around 250 FGFA , however like the Su30mki whose number now stand at 270 and if the Request of Strategic Force Command is met then number could go 310 , in the same way the number of FGFA could be as high as 300

Its not that the money has been set aside already. Beginning 2017, each year, some amount of money will be reserved for PAK-FA/FGFA acquisition.

Even though it is expected that total acquisition cost will be around $25 billion but given the cost escalations and since the Indian FGFA will integrate European/Israeli components, price can go up big time.

The time frame perfectly makes sense.

If we observe those details carefully, the first export starts 2025, by which both India and Russia would have had several squadrons of PAK-FA/FGFA operational.
