Oh yes, very cool indeed! I do like Russian aircraft. Sukhoi's SU 27/37's Berkuts. Havoc and Hokum Helos.

Hmm. Take an F-22 and stick a red star on it.
Mind you, that's what the Russians have done for years - take a mostly American design and make it better. The MiG-29 was a direct response to the F-16 and F-18 developments, and they took the best elements of both and created a monster that the west could barely cope with. The Su-27 was even better, taking the MiG-29 design basics and improving even on them.
It'll be interesting to see what the new Sukhoi can do operationally. It's good to see the Russian military aircraft bureaux back in business.
