02/02/2010 T-50 PAK-FA: APA has received a large number of email queries asking the question: “when will an analysis of the PAK-FA be published?” A Technical Report analysing the PAK-FA is currently in development. The importance of this program is such that APA will not be releasing this  TR until the analysis is properly completed, and a robust and thorough report can be produced. Visitors interested in the strategic and operational implications of the PAK-FA might consider reading the following 2009 NOTAMs: When America’s Stealth Monopoly Ends, What's Next? and Air Combat: Russia’s PAK-FA versus the F-22 and F-35; and the 2009 Technical Report update covering the Tikhomirov NIIP PAK-FA AESA radar. All indications at this time are that the conclusions of the two 2009 NOTAMs will firmly hold, although PAK-FA is more capable in many respects than previously expected.
