... I read it and except of BS like "sanctions being helpful", "the leader being 26 years old lady" etc., it is quite interesting; I'll very briefly summarize what I recall (I'm no expert, so if you don't like it, don't read it, but don't tell me OK):
  • they use glass, not plastic (the disadvantages are obviously fragility and weight; obvious advantage is transparency, the other include heat resistance and the possibility to apply coating(s))
  • they worked around disadvantages, claim they have exceptionally tough glass which is lighter than plastic would be
  • they utilize the advantages in what they then call construction optics material (OK that's how I translated it :)
  • stuff I described above is used for PAKFA canopies (including folding sections), which of course is complicated due to the shape etc.: several glass sheets are first like baked to collapse into one durable, hardened part (the picture taken before this process is in your post https://www.sinodefenceforum.com/pak-fa-fgfa-discussions.t7155/page-141#post-397402) which is then cut by lasers and coated

is not i like it or not, translation is a hard thing to do, i am a translator my self so i appreciate what you do for us, i do not judge you upon your accuracy, unless i can do a better one, something in this case i can not do because i admit my Russian is limited to some vocabulary, so when i can not translate by my self i use google translator, these pictures do not allow copy and paste and straight to google translate, so your translation is very appreciated by me, and probably by most of us.


The first flight of T-5-6 is making people crazy

see this comments

Some sites in the absence of information begin to split hairs and present this picture as a photo from the first flight of T-06.02.50. The photo is actually the first flight of T-50-5R 16 October 2015.

LOL apparently it was Deino who debunked it:

it is interesting to see, i do not know the degree of reliability of the rumor T-5-6 has flown, Rostec has not reported yet anything, same Sputnik news or RT, the reports come from posters of Airforce.ru.

As time passes we will understand why, if in 2-3 weeks they do not post pictures of T-50-6 in websites like which by the way posted a new picture of T-50-1 see link

you can see it was a rumor and that will explain why Rostec and Sputnik news have not report it.

when they post T-50-6 pictures and release its first flight date we will now how reliable was that date, but it seems it was just a rumor, but who knows still can be true but i doubt it
