Yeah that's my point and world point too:
It is not possible to get PAK/FA into service as the Russians are claiming (before 2012), it need more time. And Money is a big headache there too.
Hmm... I agree. Money is a big problem, US makes one mistake in that things which cost in budget defeicites: In russia things are different than in the US. Now what's my point, in Russia development isn't costing that much like in USA simply because Russians have different strategy in those things, they make Sukhoy, MiG, Yak etc. competing for the job and not finance it! In US is different, Government is doing all the paying for pretty much anything that comes on mind of some enginers! Than pay again to fix it, and it goes, and goes..... Catch up with me? I don't know if I said this clearly.
