Mikoyana design bureau, Vladimir Barkovsky, as saying that the Skat will be able to attack land and sea targets even while coming under heavy anti-aircraft fire.

^^
I pretty sure most aircraft can do this, so are they planning to have it get shot at.

Skat Attack - Looks like this will be shitting all over everyones parade...

 

[HeyJoe]

Sure looks like they borrowed a bit from the X-32 and flipped the design up side down and eliminated the cockpit.

You can do anything in combat once. Is skat Russian for "divine wind?"

MarineMike, you read fiction books, do ya?

HeyJoe, I was thinking the same thing, then I scrolled down and saw your post. It looks a little more than "copied." It looks to me like "stolen" or "sold." Somebody needs to ask some questions in the Boeing direction. Looks like a partial cost-recoup operation to me.

...just sayin...

I do enjoy a good fiction once in awhile, but I'm not so sure WWII wold quite classify as fiction.

The questions that come to my mind are... Will Russia actually be able to fund any significant production of this aircraft??? How and where will they employ it? And more importantly... why would they employ it?

I think the B-2 and F-117 have been around for more than 3 years.
