What is t 50?

The T-50 is a fifth-generation fighter aircraft developed by Russia's Sukhoi company. It is designed to be a multirole fighter with advanced capabilities, including supercruise, advanced avionics, and stealth technology.

The T-50, also known as PAK FA (Prospective Airborne Complex of Frontline Aviation), first flew in 2010 and is expected to enter service with the Russian Air Force in 2021. It is intended to replace the aging fleet of Soviet-era MiG-29 and Su-27 fighters.

The T-50 features advanced engines and avionics systems, including infrared search and track (IRST), active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar, and sophisticated electronic warfare capabilities. It has a maximum speed of Mach 2, a range of 3,500 kilometers, and can carry a variety of missiles and bombs.

The T-50 is also designed to be highly maneuverable in air-to-air combat and has been compared to the American F-22 Raptor. It is intended to be a key component of Russia's military modernization efforts and a significant challenge to Western air power in the years to come.
