Exactly. Finally someone with common sense. The new "checkmate" is a 4th gen export fighter. It's literally a f16 copy with twin vertical stabilizers. They plan to sell it for 25-30 million... Their SU35 costs 85 million... Just more Russian propaganda for people dumb enough to believe it. " Rostec CEO Sergei Chemezov said a Checkmate will cost 25-30 million U.S. dollars, making it relatively affordable on the international weaponry market, he added."

@92HazelMocha It's a 4th gen export jet based on the F16. The SU35, which uses the Irbis-E radar, which is 1950 PESA technology. Yet you want people to believe they will have an AESA radar, will have a stealth coating or baked in design, better avionics all around, will have the same engine as the SU57, yet it's still going to be cheaper then 4th gen fighters like the SU35, all for 25-30 million. "only using resources they already have with technology they’re already familiar with" This also goes against what you are saying as the Russians only have a handful of aircraft with AESA radars since they can't afford it. They have a handful of Mig35s that have AESA radars, which they alone cost 30 million and did so horrible Russia stopped procuring them and no export nation bought them, and the 1 SU57(maybe less depending on if the one that crashed had the newer engine, it was supposed to have, while the other one is using 4th gen engines) So AESA technology is rather new to Russia, let alone RAM coating and materials. Yet you still think this is a 5th gen fighter priced at 25-30 million?

@goran3262 And now these Russian trolls come flooding in talking about "DO YOU REALLY believe that one US aircraft carrier of the Gerd Ford class is worth of more than 13 billion dollars ? " Thankful for the block and mute button.

@Internetbutthurt " The per-unit cost of a Su-35 is estimated at around $85 million." " There were plenty of dumb people who swallowed the BS that the F-35 would cost 35-40M." I literally quoted the manufacturer not random people...

@Internetbutthurt And the trolling continues. The first one to throw insults always loses. 85 million. Enjoy trolling others. Blocked. "Russian industry sources said the fighter will be priced at $85 million. That could make it competitive with Dassault Aviation's Rafale, and could have implications for India's proposed purchase of 126 Rafales. New Delhi selected the Rafale as the preferred bidder in a protracted competition in 2012, but has yet to make a final decision on the purchase."
