The US and Israel are still the best for drones, but the best manned aircrafts (and pilots, yeah) are still made in Russia. PERIOD.



:pimp

The problem with trying to impress with video is that there has to be some perspective in the shot to see what's actually happening. I'm sure in an old school dogfight the thing would kick ass, but that's almost a quaint notion anymore isn't it?

It seems to be a jet fighter... Not seeing anything impressive here at all. This is thirty year year old technology. Hell, they had better footage in the Top Gun movie.
