Russian T-50 fighter attracted a lot of people’s attention on the just-concluded Moscow air show. Many experts and military enthusiasts concern about its performance very much, and even take it to compare with U.S. F-22 fighter.

I think that Russian the real significance T-50 fighter air show is not lie in the toughest with other advanced fighter, its true meaning in a play on the already decided, its real meaning had been identified when it appeared just now.

To accelerate air war to enter the era of the fifth generation fighter

You may be wondering: the fifth-generation fighters has already appeared, the U.S. F-22 has already equipped the U.S. military and the world has well entered into the era of fifth-generation fighter.

However, I think it is just the beginning of Fifth-generation fighter age. Even today, the United States is the only one country equipped the fifth-generation fighters. Moreover, F-22 fighter has not been exported and its the production line has also been closed, at the same time, the F-35 fighters for export was delayed in shape for a long time, all of which caused the United States has become the only one country that owns  the fifth-generation fighter.

However, different from F-22 and F-35, Russian T-50 fighter start from its development to aimed in large part  at developing export markets. Once established, T-50 fighters will be equipped for not only Russian Air Force but also Indian Air Force, and I believe that as long as some customers want to buy, Russia should not refused them. The rapid development and shape of T-50 fighter possiblely to accelerate the situation that the Russian fifth generation fighters enter the markets, so that more countries have fifth generation fighters.

Once Russian fifth-generation fighters rush into the market, the United States certainly is anxious to accelerate the determination of the development marketing of F-35, the end result is that the fifth generation fighters will spread rapidly in the worldwide, thus speeding up the fifth generation of fighter era.

The official debut of Russian fifth generation fighter shows that no matter what it has any gap compared to the U.S. fifth generation fighter, after all it is the fifth generation fighter, the U.S. must accept this result.

Thus, it is bound to make the United States to accelerate the development of next-generation fighter, as soon as more next-generation fighter to enter the competition. This is just the true meaning of Russian T-50 fighter air show.
