The plant has orders from 2013 to produce pressure reactor containers for Russian submarines and from 2012 to produce 132 x T-14 Armata MBTs.

Pretty quiet today - must be some Top Secret organizational meeting on the use of new lines of attack.

Some observances from the video:
Maneuvering leading edge flaps
Differential horizontal stabilizers - used to roll the aircraft at very slow airspeed
Minimal aileron deflection during slow speed roll - minimize adverse yaw
Full afterburner
Below is a picture of F-22 carrying a full weapons load:
And here's a pic of a SU-57 with external missiles.
