5th++ generation fighter jet, concept
Russia and Brazil are to jointly develop a fifth-generation fighter jet. The two countries also plan to build space rocket vehicles.
An agreement was signed on Tuesday according to the Brazilian Minister of Strategic Affairs, Roberto Mangabeira Unger.
Currently only the U.S. produces similar military aircraft, although several other countries have the capabilities.
The maiden flight of Russia’s first fifth-generation fighter, developed by the Sukhoi design bureau, is expected to take place next year.

I wonder if this aircraft is superior to the canceled F-22? Amazing, isn't it, that we send trillions (without taxpayers consent, whose money it is in the first place) to countries who hate us and spit on our generosity while taking our handouts. Most of you don't remember that we sent hundreds of billions to India for their poverty-stricken population, and they used the money to build atomic bombs. U.S. government policy is in serious need of renovation. Now, why is Brazil working in concert with a communist country to build military weapons? Brazil has always been a party country content to rape their natural resources for income. Maybe it's not so surprising that two third-world countries collaborate to build military weapons. How else would they excel except by taking from smaller, weaker countries? An advanced air force would be a huge help in this kind of venture, don't you agree?
