The Sukhoi Su-47 Berkut (Russian: Су-47 "Беркут" - golden eagle), also designated S-32 and S-37 during initial development, is an experimental supersonic jet fighter developed by Sukhoi Aviation Corporation. The NATO reporting name for this aircraft is "Firkin". A distinguishing feature of the aircraft is its forward-swept wing, similar to that of the Grumman X-29. Although the Berkut has been referred to as the Su-47 since 2002, suggesting that it is a ready-for-production warplane, it will more likely be heavily redesigned (as part of the Prospective Air Complex for Tactical Air Forces program) before any series production begins. The Su-47 designation may or may not be reused for the PAK FA design.

  • Its Just Not Russian

    This aircraft is jointly developed by an Indian firm HAL - Hindustan Aeronautics Limited and Sukhoi.....
    Its expected to be inducted in Indian Air Force by 2014. And it is expected to be inducted in Russian Air Force in 2012......
    Brazil also is part of the development program, but it joined the program after the program was more than half way through, so i do not know when will it be inducted in Brazilian Air Force.

  • Responderé en ...

    Responderé en castellano, porque mi inglés no es muy avanzado:
    Desacreditar el armamento ruso porque tienen menos tecnología, es el acto más estúpido que cometés.
    La verdadera utilidad de los aviones (o naves), armas y demás, se sabrá cuando se encuentren en el campo de batalla. Por lo que te pido que guardes tus comentarios como OPINIONES en vez de dar estúpidas afirmaciones.
    Parecés un niño de doce años con un libro en mano, alardeando tantas insignificancias juntas.

  • Secretly they both ...

    Secretly they both have energy weapons and i guess to eventually replace projectile type weapons. US is based in alaska (Haarp) and russia is based in siberia (Scalar EM weapons). Perhaps soldiers in a few years time might have handheld portable ray, laser or microwave weapons with a range of 11.2 miles.

    I think russia got almost every weapon covered from anti ship missiles to supercaptivating torpedos to vacuum bombs, nukes, missile defence and they are all better range and more powerful, faster than their US counterparts and also in specification.

  • Top scientists ...

    Top scientists still remain in Russia though and the result of them staying gave russian military the most advanced weapons in the world like topol ms and defence systems like S-400 and soon plasma shield and naval defence weapons. Last year george w bush asked russia or putin to bring their top scientists to come over to US to help with their US missile defence shield in europe.

  • You're quite ...

    You're quite correct; the Su-47's original designation before Sukhoi attempted to market it was the S-37.

    The Su-37 is a derivative of the venerable Su-27, popularly (and incorrectly) referred to as the "Terminator".

    If I AM NOT wrong, it should be s-37 instead of Su-37

  • Ironic, considering ...

    Ironic, considering that the popular view of Russia is that of a broke, cold nation drunk on cheap vodka and antifreeze.

    Furthermore, it's rather telling that the best scientists in the world chose to work in the West rather than the USSR.

    I don't endorse racism or nationalism, but utterly ignorant viewpoints such as yours deserve nothing but hate-filled vitriol.
