Awake Goy The T-50 did not fly at the Paris Air Show, as it seems someone felt that should be held back for the main event at home. As we have been writing at VT, Russia does not intend to get sucked into an arms war, a repeat of the Cold War trap that ruined its economy and made the US defense industry rich.
The Russians are thinking long range, and defense. We saw the new battle tank debuted for Victory day, the first with a modular design for multiple use platforms, upgrades, quality control and keeping the per unit cost low. It appears the modular trend has been brought over into their war planes.
The lower cost gives Russian arms sale an export price advantage and better profit margins, which can be added to longer production runs to save on the defense budget or to pay for more of the home team planes.
US Defense contractors will never move from their huge cost overruns, having made the US taxpayer pay through the nose for superiority in the past, but currently a crop of white elephants. If China gets its game on, building better and cheaper upgrades, the US Asia Pivot and New Cold War will fall victim to our built in cost overruns, which no one at the pig trough has ever had any problem with.
