Representatives from the Sukhoi Design Bureau say they are ready to launch a production line for a stealthy fighter jet similar to the F/A-22 Raptor.

The Sukhoi company makes the Flanker line of aircraft, which some industry analysts consider to be comparable to the top-of-the-line U.S. military aircraft.

Sukhoi officials boast that their latest aircraft have the same capabilities as American fighters when it comes to hitting air and ground targets, conducting electronic warfare and collecting intelligence.




“We do the same as the rest of the world,” said a Design Bureau official during the recent Paris Air Show through an interpreter.

And now, they say, they’ll be able to offer stealthy capabilities that the United States claims for the Raptor.
