bogami ovo nije mnogo vremena za tako nesto al mislim da ce uspeti ipak su supersila
tad cemo i mi uci u evropsku uniju

Oni vec uveliko rade na tome. Flota MiG-29 bi trebalo da bude modernizovana do 2015, isto tako i Su-27, a proizvodnja narucenih novih podvarijanti istog aviona (tipa Su-34 i sl.) do 2020. U to vreme ce verovatno poceti da ulazi u proizvodnju novi avion pete generacije, tako da ce imati veoma moderno RV.

licno sam se uverio kojim tempom RF koraca ka progresu. za par godina tesko da ce SAD moci da konkurisu pan-azijskoj koaliciji Rusija-Kina-Indija

u pravu si rusi po meni imaju najbolje avione na svetu mislim na ratne, su-34,su-27 su-24... Lovci su im odlicni

Su-24 i Su-34 nisu lovacki avioni.

nisam navodio primere samo za lovce izvini nejasno sam napisao ali prijatelju su-34 je lovac-bombarder tako da jeste lovac

Kada se kaze lovac-bombarder misli se na ono sto se kod nas zove "jurisni avion". Su-34 je koncipiran pre svega za napade na moru i zemlji.

su-24 i su-34 nisu ni lovci ,ni jurishni avioni .najbolji opis - taktichki bombarder

U pravu si bf 109 g 6 za izraz. To mu je i namjena. Ali ako pogledaš da je nastao na bazi SU-27 i da nije mnogo izgubio na manevrabilnosti, i njegovu paletu napružanja koja uključuje sve moderne rakete v-v koje posjeduje VVS mogao bi da parira mnogim lovcima koji su danas u operativnoj upotrebi.
