Fifth Generation Fighter Aircraft (FGFA)

Developed from Sukhoi Su-47 and MiG 1.44 technology demonstrators.

The Fifth Generation Fighter Aircraft (FGFA) is a fifth-generation fighter which is being developed by Russia and India.

The aircraft will make its maiden flight before the end of this year, the deputy prime minister in charge of arms procurement has said. ”We expect the plane to take to the skies no later than the end of this year,” Sergei Ivanov told a news conference after a meeting of the Military-Industrial Commission.

It is a derivative project from the PAK FA being developed for the Indian Air Force (FGFA is the official designation for the Indian version). The program is initiated to develop a fifth generation fighter aircraft to fill a role similar to that of Lockheed Martin's F-22 Raptor and the F-35 Lightning II, the world's first fifth-generation fighter jets.

According to HAL chairman A.K. Baweja shortly after the India-Russia Inter-Governmental Committee meeting on 18 September 2008, the Russian aircraft will be a single-seater, the Indian FGFA will be a twin seater.

What is the price tag for this plane. I estimate price will be at least 30% less than F22. Russia going to sell the plane to India/China/Iran/Malaysia/Cuba. Singapore are been con to buy F15 more than 30 years design.

This jet even better than F22.
Take off land only 350metre really short runway and ferry range are longer than F22 only about 3000km.

Well Singapore is on the F35 development team maybe the F15 is the price to be paid to eventually have the best if we can get our hands on the F35 no one can touch us.

The RSAF will probably get the F35, money is not a problem lah.

As for no one touching us, I wonder about that :rolleyes:

Is there still a sand ban on Spore:confused: Heard about Indonesia's go slow on imports from Spore when they wanted that extradition treaty. Malaysia can simply release Mas & all the F35 wouldn't stop him from creating fear & confusion. If our neighbours really wanted to touch Spore they can do so cheaply.

I think our negihbours are too busy with their own problems to want to touch Spore. While the PAP is busy making Spore more expensive our neighbours are focused on their own people & development.
