For the first time, RSAF will operate jump jets, the shitty F-35
- Thread starter steffychun
- Start date
Nope not at all. If it were, those were British RAF based
They called it the 'flying coffin', slow and if get into any dogfight sure lose.
I think you confused with the A4 Skyhawks which the RSAF used. I think the Harriers mainly used in the 70's by which time RAF go home liao....
harriers jump jets are even more shitty.
kena shot down alot during the Falkland war.

To be honest. I would rather RSAF buys something more reliable. Maybe the new F15s or more F16s. I mean the F16s are still better than many aircraft the our neighbours have. Just dont get crap like F18 and Super Hornets,,,we should be using the 'Toyota Corolla' Approach to weapons and not the 'Rolls Royce' approach.

The Sukhoi PAK FA (Russian: Сухой ПАК ФА, Russian: Перспективный авиационный комплекс фронтовой авиации, Perspektivny Aviatsionny Kompleks Frontovoy Aviatsii, literally "Prospective Airborne Complex of Frontline Aviation") is a twin-engine jet fighter being developed by Sukhoi for the Russian Air Force. The Sukhoi T-50 is the prototype for PAK FA.[13] The PAK FA is one of only a handful of stealth jet programs worldwide.[14]
The PAK FA, a fifth generation jet fighter, is intended to be the successor to the MiG-29 and Su-27 in the Russian inventory and serve as the basis of the Sukhoi/HAL FGFA being developed with India.[15][16] The T-50 prototype performed its first flight 29 January 2010.[4][17] By 31 August 2010, it had made 17 flights and by mid-November, 40 in total. The second T-50 was to start its flight test by the end of 2010, but this was delayed until March 2011.[18][19][20][21][22]
The Russian Defence Ministry will purchase the first 10 evaluation example aircraft after 2012 and then 60 production standard aircraft after 2016.[23][24][25] The first batch of fighters will be delivered with current technology engines. The PAK-FA is expected to have a service life of about 30–35 years.[26]
MOSCOW — Russia's first stealth fighter intended to match the latest U.S. design made its maiden flight Friday, boosting the country's efforts to modernize its rusting Soviet-built arsenals and retain its lucrative export market.
The Sukhoi T-50's flight comes nearly two decades after the first prototype of the U.S. F-22 Raptor took to the air, and Russian officials said it will take another five years for the new jet to enter service. Still, the flight marked a major step in Russia's efforts to burnish the faded glory of its aviation industries and strengthen a beleaguered military.

You're missing the point. This is a clear message to the Chinese and ANYTHING that irritates them is a good thing.
Think they r tied in...part of deal to get f15. Otherwise they get left out of the gang. White elephants they r but think we have no choice...the day we signed participation contract to f35 prog means we r tied...it's like one of the underwriting bank for a toxic ipo.
I am amused by the statement : f35 is undefeatble...reminds me of Singapore is a inpregnable fortress or titanic is unsinkable.

Only 1 Harrier was lost to ground fire; 5 were lost to accidents. None was lost during air-to-air combat.

Peesai is also logistics base for Uncle Sam. Anyways, this aircraft's development costs have gone overboard. Yanks need some more donation.
Cheers!
