(美国军事智囊机构"航空与国防技术评估公司"的高级分析师鲁宾-约翰逊"说，很长时
间以来，印度花了很多钱，试图自产先进的武器，但是成功的例子非常少。唯一的成功
例子是跟俄国联合制造的一种导弹。")

My comment:
(1) He may be referring to

BrahMos
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BrahMos
("the world's fastest cruise missile")

(2) A posting of mine reported the successful flight of T-50. The following
is an analysis.

David A Fulghum, Maxim Pyadushkin and Douglas Barrie, Major Work Ahead On T-
50 Stealth Fighter. Aviation Week, Feb. 8, 2010.

Quote: "Whether Sukhoi can meet the timeline depends on the success of
testing and the financial commitment of the Russian and, crucially, Indian
governments. India is ready to invest 25% of the PAK FA’s development cost
and form a 50-50 joint venture to manufacture the fighter, with a basic
requirement of 250 aircraft for each partner. * * * While India can bring
significant funding, it cannot supply relevant technical expertise

Note:
(a) Sukhoi PAK FA
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sukhoi_PAK_FA
(acronym for Russian Perspektivny aviatsionny kompleks frontovoy aviatsii,
literally "Future Frontline Aircraft System;" a fifth generation fighter
aircraft)

(b) "Raptorsky" is a play on F-22 Raptor by adding suffix -sky to make the
word sound Slavic.

(c) For YF-22, see F-22 Raptor
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F-22
(Out of the two prototypes YF-22 and YF-23, the former was declared a winner
in 1991)

(d)
(i) yaw (vi, n): "of an airplane, spacecraft, or projectile : to turn by
angular motion about the vertical axis"

(ii) Aircraft principal axes
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aircraft_principal_axes
(yaw, pitch and roll)

(e) uprate (vt): UPGRADE

(f) The report states, "The T-50 was expected to fly with a pair of NPO
Saturn 117S engines—a further modification of the uprated 32,000-lb.-thrust
AL-31Fs installed in the new Su-35S multirole fighter."

Saturn AL-31

(variant 117S)

The real deal starts in the second half of this article.
