>the 2 Felon's behind it
jesus how long until they're all dumped and left to rot at these places
The worst thing about these photos isn't just that they are left out to rot. Its the rain and the snow/freezing and the tree pollen/sap and the wild animals just absolutely fricking this shit up. Like, just sell it to a private collector and make a quick buch if nothing else. Like, I love the su-47 but nothing about it is top-secret in relationship to modern tech so its not like its a security issue.
Imagine if they auctioned production runs off to the regional oligarchs to use as loosely affiliated raiding parties like the Klingon houses. Just independent factions cooperating and occasionally dueling. Would be kino.
>when you are supposed to be the little flying buddy of the Su-57, but the Su-57 is fricking moronic and it's not even clear if you aren't
Sometimes it's best to be forgotten.
What I've read says it carries 2000kg worth of ordnance and carried out tests this year. Wouldn't it make sense to test this out in Ukraine? It's basically a Drone F-117
They don’t want public embarrassment of losing their few prototypes and experimental units. Better to pretend that ruski army is still fighting with their hands tied out of pity for civilian population, or whatever bullshit of the day is spewed by their propaganda machine
>Russia giving not overblown numbers about its tech
The thing is half the size of an F117 if it can carry 2 tones of ordinance it has shorter legs than a fricking fulcrum with no external tanks.
I give it 500 kilos at best with shit range
Oh I don't doubt the numbers could be bullshit, it's just what I read.

That is fair, however with how much an ass pounding the Ukrainians have been giving to their air force, sending one of these in to take out a battery of say IRIS would make sense since it at least APPEARS to have stealth.
Did that one also end up in the plane graveyard next to the Su-47 and the Su-57 proto?
So sad. Spend money and resources developing new weapons, then just leave them to rot.
This should be a crime.
Russian MiC is dead. It will never come back. Kek

what's the jet with the camo pattern in front of the Su-57
Su37?
like
said, I think it's the Su-37 (or what's left of it after the crash)
might just be some SU35's because there's a similar one north of it
Seems to be Cy-35БM № 901, "The first flight copy of the Su-35 fighter. It was damaged in a fire in July 2014, disposed of."
Su-30MK demonstrator, 603
Su-27M demonstrator, 709
Su-27M was the original Su-35 but subsequently renamed to avoid confusing with the later production Su-35S
>We'll keep it safe in a hang- ACK
Look at how smart the Russians are, not wasting a single ruble on sidewalks.

They could also just bury them, like how the U.S. does it out at Groom Lake.

too bad vatniks are a lost cause.
>Russian MIC can we have B-2?
>Nyet, we have Blayat-2 at home.

>that exhaust
Is proper stealth. Undetectable by HATO troony khokhol globohomosexual radar
The same reason you don't see T-14s in the battlefield,they are just too valuable.

>it at least APPEARS to have stealth.
And why would you shatter this delusion by pitting it against ukrainian air defence?
Because it would be funny for a IRIS to lock it's heat seeker on that frick hueg exhaust
holy fug that exhaust is incredible
