Given the thickness of paint has to be precise to account for weight, balance, and air resistance I bet that wacky ass digital camo with a red star was expensive af. Then again maybe I'm just thinking in terms of US Military Industrial Complex pricing, lol.
It's probably stickers. US does that too for photogenic livery, while the paint thickness is very important operationally it doesnt matter for parades or other flyovers.
I think you might be giving Russian budget managers too much credit. No way they're going to pay the engineers to work all that shit out when that money could be more effectively spent on personal yachts.
At this rate, it's going to be like the dinosaurs in a few decades. Russians will claim that they were invisible like chameleons, but the real scientists will know they had feathers.

so stealthy we'll never find out because at this rate, Russia's not gonna have a large contingent of these lol
what russia really needs are planes that are stealthy on the ground, perhaps if the drones can't see them heh
edit: holy fuck they were just sitting out in the open?
There's no longer a viable breeding population
That's a nice paint job in that plane. I really like it.
Oh yeah? Want to see something really hot? Check out this Ukrainian F-35 design
You'd definitely have to pay up for that though. There's no way you'd just get it in a normal lootbox.

Sorry, I really should have flagged that as NSFW
God I wish. Would love to see what a 5th Gen multirole would do to 1970s tanks.
Many T-64s smoldering on the fields of Ukraine were produced in the 60s even.
And you don't need an advanced tactical fighter to blast golf carts.

I mean, the missiles get a CHA boost from launching from one but the damage still scales with INT
Are VTOL adjustable thrusters a DEX modifier?
Is this in a flight sim? 🥵
Enjoy!
Legendary, thank you!
f-14?
That's a pretty sexy plane, but it is also endangered
True but like centennials, it lived a long life.
Extinct in the wild, even the population in captivity is slowly dwindling.
so it's an EW
i love f-14's
