For 10ringr, it seems that you are the one having no clue about who copies what.You didn’t provide any link for your claims, yet I’ll give you one: http://www.nytimes.com/1990/05/07/world/us-used-romania-to-get-soviet-arms.html?n=Top%2FNews%2FWorld%2FCountries+and+Territories%2FRomania
Read this and stop eating shit about stealing.OOOOhhhhh and not to mention the Adolf Tolkachev affair. And please send me back a link showing that the Soviets had a similar program.

Copy Russians? Well it’s obvious that you guys don’t have a clue about who copies what. Russians have been stealing everyones tech since Britains first jet engine to the American bomber of WW II. Get your facts straight. Another thing isVSTOL was a British design in the Harrier copied albeit a dismal ship born plane by the then Soviet Union which was all it could do just to not crash on lift off. The F-35 has only one thing in common with the Yak (which is the US means to vomit, how appropriate) and that is it delivers where the Russian bird has always failed in reliability, performance and range, not to mention you need several pilots to fly it because a number of them are going to end up dead because of what a piece of garbage it is.

Good afternoon, I am not generally known for sounding off on these commentaries. However, after reading all of these comments, I just had to. First of all, I am an American. I have been in 30 of the 50 U.S. states and 22 countries. I am an electronics technician by trade (no degrees). Nations have been taking (trading, borrowing, and stealing) from other nations since the beginning of history. (And likely before then.) These nations have then either improved upon, or leapfrogged past, this borrowed technology. Even in some cases, combining something that was brand new yet inferior with something that was great in and of itself to make something even better. If you would like a couple of examples: Rome had her legions and they were very good. What improved their capability beyond proportion was a little sword they took from a defeated enemy (spanish/ carthage) today if someone is asked about a roman weapon, the answer would likely be gladius. The Rolls-Royce Merlin engine worked great in the Spitfire and Hurricane, yet combined with an American designed low altitude attack/ ground support plane, you get the greatest piston engine fighter plane ever: The North American P-51 Mustang. German-American colonials in the 18th century brought a short barreled accurate slow loading weapon with decent range for its time evolved in the backwoods into the Kentucky or Pennsylvania Rifle. Sadly, a great invention of the time died even before its inventor and that was the Ferguson Rifle named after Britsh Major Patrick Ferguson who patented an improvement of an even earlier design borrowed from a French inventor. It was ahead of its time and died on the vine. Major Ferguson was killed at the Battle of King’s Mountain. These are just a few examples of taking, cooperating, and blatantly ignoring improvements that have helped to shape history, I primarily cited American History because it is what I am most familiar with, but there are thousands more examples out there. Instead of attempting to either insult another’s country, recognize that nations seeking economic, political, military and social advantages will borrow from, work with, and attempt to surpass their neighbors, even when they are “friends”.

with the comprehensive analysis and criticism above!! i would like to add few of coments regrading each!!!
both russia and us after a lot of practicising, they are now capable of producing figters with a little degree of the variations, becasue an optimum and state of art desing always converges not diverges. a time will come there will not many things a fighter will have to improves!! One thing, i want to add also here that russia the original and genuien for some plane design than america!!! Success goes to the us because of its federation and multi talents from rest of the world in which russia lack…
Thank you very much!!!

The F-35 is a small single engine F-22; both more or less resemble the F-18. Any likeness to the Yak 141, in regard to the F-35, is only due to the three baring nozzle system where the rear portion bends down. However, most F-35’s won’t even have VTOL capabilities.

So much stupid talking about stealing designs!!!I find it everywhere a comparison between a Russian and an American thing is done.If the Russians really copied all their aircraft and space shuttle designs from USA, as some are claiming here(mostly Americans), then this leads me to understand that during the Cold War USA had the shittiest counter-espionage services in the world and the CIA was an organization full of people paid to do nothing.How does it sounds?
-If you claim that Russia stolen everything from the US then you automatically agree that USA had a shitty secret service at the time.
-If you claim that USA had a very good secret service at the time, then you have to agree that the guys from the secret service really did their jobs, and the Russians couldn’t steal the informations from the US, and they designed everything on their own.
However regarding the Yak-141 and F-35 I’ve heard that there was a cooperation between Yakovlev and Lockheed Martin, so there is no matter of stealing in this case.Good luck with the site Pavel, it’s a very good thing.

Um supercruise, stealth, avionics package, electronic communications package, hands down F-35. As far as better maneverablity yes the Russians have always had better performance in that area. But an F-4 could outclimb and out run a mig. Till the generation 3 aircraft of US design came out. Then its arguable in the differences. As far as copying each other? Yea it happens. Seems the Russian’s always would come out with something similar after the Americans came out with in my opinion. This translates into the Ak-74 from the AK-47 changing caliber size simply because the americans did it and they might be on to something that they (The Russians) are not yet aware of. With that said the Russians still have some better weapon systems than the US which not too many people over here like to admit or even learn about.
