that too but the main thing was that it is a eu project where each country wants to make as much money out of it as posibble ....besides when did the eu do anything cheap and logical

Development/Production is far more expensive in Europe.

well i think we can bouth agree on the fact that eurofighter is overpriced

Actually I just had a look at the Su-35 price and I though it was around the same as the Su-30MK, guess I was wrong, turns out it isn't as good value, probably a Su-30MKX then is better.

and i think that the french rafaelle is pretty hot too

sory i thought you mean something else...my badbesides if you do not like the su 35 you couls always invest a bit in to the mig 1.44 project not to mention that the mig 35 is not that bad either.

Su-27 family has an RCS well over 10m2.Eurofighter was specially designed to have ~0.1m2.With use of RAM the RuAF reduced the RCS of a MiG-21 by 50%, so technically (with additional cost) this could be done for any plane in the RuAF inventory.

iam sure the rcs will be lover that those of eurofighter. not tu mention that i bet su-35 is more agile and like all rusian planes it can land on a dirt srip(often overlooked fact)and does not need tarmac like all western planes

Agreed, the Su-35 is a cheap alternative, good radar, R-77's with up coming R-77M1, although quite high RCS, still good for cheapness. |
