Words so true, spoken by the Earthman! In him is trut!
As you may know, there are two, let's say, "schools of thought" in Russia regarding stealth in aviation . One basically wants stealth aircraft (PAK FA , PAK DA etc ...) , other accuses former of blindly copying the West and considers stealth as a fad and marketing ploy .
This second school of thought emphasizes speed and maneuverability , they have been in opposition lately but they still created some interesting concepts like Su-47 . In bomber arena, they argue that subsonic bombers like B-2 are now more or less obsolete against sophisticated opponents , and by the time PAK DA becomes complete they would be slightly better then Tu-95 i.e. enemy would be able to detect them at long ranges.
Therefore, according to them, future bomber should be able to perform long supersonic dashes flying at 2+ Mach , and defend itself with powerful EW suite . Concept is not exactly new, Tu-160 was created exactly for the same purpose . It was fastest strategic bomber in the world, able to outrun almost all NATO fighters in that time at longer distances (lots of fuel for afterburners) . Reportedly, EW suite was very capable at that time . Now they want something even faster able to outrun F-22 and to jam current equipment .
Would that kill PAK DA I do not know . Everything is still in the distant future . One thing is certain, production of Su-34 is ramping up . More and more aircraft have been delivered to operational units . One example had ... unfortunate landing
Hey Dude, didja know you got a flat tire man??? hey what are u smokin in there??? hey you got a gas leak too, man Vladimer is gonna kick your butt, he owns that plane ya know??

According to various sources, landing speed was too high and plane went off the runway and flipped over nose . Some folks claim that landing chute failed to deploy . Anyway, pilots are fine , and would they repair this aircraft or use parts for another is anyone's guess . Here is another pic of same aircraft from another angle

India, China interested in buying Russia’s new tanks Armata - media

MOSCOW, June 4. /TASS/. India, China and Southeast Asia countries have shown interests to new Russian armoured vehicles demonstrated during the Victory Parade on May 9, Russian president’s aide for military technical cooperation Vladimir Kozhin said in an interview with the Izvestia daily published on Thursday.
According to Kozhin, Russia’s traditional partners are interested in buying infantry combat vehicles and Armata tanks. "Interest has been demonstrated. The weapons are new and expensive. For the most part, by our traditional partners: India, China and Southeast Asia," he said.
He said that the new weapons demonstrated at the parade would be first supplied to the Russian army and only in perspective would be sold to foreign states. So far, Russia is selling weapons under current orders.
In a military parade on Moscow’s Red Square on May 9, the Russian military displayed a variety of armored cars, including the Tiger and the Typhoon vehicles, and newest means of transportation for the Airborne Troops, infantry combat vehicles BMD-4M.
The tank section of the march-past featured the T90A tanks and a new arrival in the field, the Armata tank that has an entirely new multirole platform, which the manufacturer, the world-famous Uralvagonzavod corporation plans to use for a long range of other army vehicles.
The newspaper cites experts as saying that it would be possible to speak about commercial lots only in a span of three years.
