A brief guide to Russian combat aircraft.

Ok, something is going wrong with this site. They have some problems with their links. But it's a good database.

The S-54 looks cool
A Mini Su-37

Russian aircraft are basically copies of US/NATO products. They have always seemed to copy our stuff all the time.

Er...I think there are times when we copy the Russians. I dont think this is just a Russia copying US issue

I assume your fishing there?


Don't forget, much is known about Soviet service aircraft, comparatively little is known about their experimental stuff.

Yes, it is true, that many designs of theirs are actually western, NATO designs, but it is also more true that they have their own original work, I think that they have more original work than their are similar designs to NATO ones, or even copies.

They have alot of interesting aircraft, so does NATO, but it would be incorrect to go as far as saying Russian aircraft are copies of NATO and US products.
