The President's plane on approach to Akhtubinsk was accompanied by a flight of six "the latest multi-purpose super jet fighter" SU-57...
And it looks pretty good, well...
...However, given that no SU-57 is in service, and only 12 models have been purchased, they are apparently designed once a year to be shown over Red square, and no more... (And you have a rough idea of the cost of each flight of such aircraft?..)
According to many military experts and military pilots, this fighter (supposedly the 5th generation) has become perhaps the most shameful phenomenon in the history of our aircraft industry.
The only hope was India, but even there it was considered unpromising and refused to cooperate on the Russian-Indian project. Experts do not regret caustic comments... HOOLIGAN even forced to soften then the style of some statements...
"Funny surrogate half-copy of F-22 crossed with YF-23. Maneuverability, as the fighters of the 3rd generation, all Chinese electronics, crashes, crumbles in the air, the chassis are not produced, the layout is rough and uncouth. Sounds like a garland. He'll get hit and he won't even notice. With these engines, he did not leave even the old PZRK "Red eye". A tin can with no stealth coating or shit on it..."
In general, the channel HOOLIGAN here is a purely intuitive feeling that he just stupidly rubbed glasses and lure further budget loot... And making excuses for failing to address the systemic problems of industry, finally... (And the 6th generation, by the way, is already unmanned invisible, robotic guardian birds, and the Americans already have such, we will add from ourselves...)
Okay, okay. Let it be. Or maybe not at all. As a result, all this landed in the town of Akhtubinsk (population - 38,000 people).
Incredible care about the residents of the city in advance showed local law enforcement. All the hallways were plastered with posters: that the inhabitants were able to avoid emergencies, accidents and other unpleasant situations, it is strictly advised not to look out of the windows and especially not to approach the windows and do not go out onto balconies with uncertain objects. You never know... (I can imagine how many snipers were sniping all over the highway...)
...Honestly, the author has long been enraged like this "tips"... I remember a few years ago, standing in a terrible traffic jam on the suburban ruble in connection with the passage of the motorcade of the same person, I put the car on some patch of fifty meters from the road and got out of it to smoke... I do not even want to describe in detail this unbearable scene and this skirmish with out of nowhere emerged from the bushes mordovorotami in the same low-key suits.
...But, as journalists write, not all residents of the town of Akhtubinsk, a hundred years did not know such a stir, were informed about the true essence of what is happening. Some sincerely thought that "someone died".
Dead, dead... And for a long time.
So fly. But only by Aeroflot. Yes and that.... Not Superjet. Good luck!
