RUSSIA'S RADICAL NEW FIGHTER
Russia’s fabled Sukhoi Design Bureau builds the S-37, a 21st century fighter to go head-to-head with our F-22.

This plane has been around longer than the article claims. The analysis I have seen claims that this plane is no match for the F-22. THis is mostly Russian dreamware, IMHO.

Don't underestimate this airplane. Read the full article. You have to admit this is a very interesting design and remarkable. Have some respect for Russians designers after all this airplane is something so is F-22 however we need to respect others also.

FSW technology was first developed by the Nazis in WWII. I can recall we experimented with it with the X-29.
This thing is built to turn. F-22 is built to surprise and kill from beyond visual range.
I'll give Ivan his due, but this airplane is no world beater.

Too bad it might as well be a DC-3 in the hands of the Arab pilots who will die in them.

Hey, why just dream? You can book a flight on an SU-27, and if there's enough demand, I'm sure Sukhoi will add the -37.

Not really most airplane designs go back 10 to 20 years. When you want to create a killer airplane it takes time. F-22, Comanche, B-2 F-17 has been in design for years before there where made know to public. I will post full article on F-22 capability soon, I am not saying that F-22 is inferior what I am trying to show is two different concept of designs and designers wisdoms from both countries. Happy New by the way. God Bless.

Been there done that. The X-29 with forward swept wings and canards as photographed in
1985(20 YEARS AGO!)
Why do all Russian Jets look just like ours... just a few years later and a few dollars short...???...???
