Description
A beauty that never get to prove itself.
Guy's what are the odds that Russia will re-stat the development of this fighter for their new mistral-class Aircraft carriers?
What happen with it originally? I thought I saw them on carrier, so I thought they entered service.
It never entered production. Russian Navy Cancelled the project in September 1991. Lockheed Martin later secretly provided $400 million for three new prototypes and an additional static test aircraft in exchange of the technology. This fighter is somewhat the grandfather of the F-35C
Pity that the Russians cancelled the plane, it would have been a interesting supplement to the Su-33 and Mig-29K D:
