Sukhoi T-50 in Indian Air Force

Hii Buddy , I want to Get Somme General Information About Sukhoi T-50 Aircraft of Indian Air Force ,Can you please Provide me Details about same ?

[Shaleen]

The Sukhoi/ HAL Fifth Generation Fighter Aircraft (FGFA) or Perspective Multi-role Fighter (PMF) is a fifth-Generation Fighter Being Developed by India and Russia.


It is a Derivative Project from the PAK FA (T-50 is the prototype) being developed for the Russian Air Force.


FGFA was the earlier designation for the Indian version, while the combined project is now called the Perspective Multi-Role Fighter (PMF).

Program Cost US$30 billion (projected)

Defence Sector is the Strongest Glue in the India-Russia ties

Design :

It is known from interviews with people in the Russian Air Force that it will be stealthy, have the ability to supercruise, be outfitted with the next generation of air-to-air, air-to-surface, and air-to-ship missiles, and incorporate an AESA (active electronically scanned array) radar.

Radar with APAA for the PAK FA/FGFA is provided by NIIP

The PAK FA/FGFA will use on its first flights 2 Saturn 117 engines (about 147.1 kN thrust each)

The AL-41F powered the Mikoyan MFI fighter (Mikoyan Project 1.44).
