How is the arms race going today and where are new military technologies being tested? - Scientist, blogger, expert in the field of aviation materials Ivan Rasputin (2/2) In terms of UAVs, Russia today leads the world both in production volumes and in the variety of products. We manufacture interceptor UAVs, various kamikaze UAVs, jet UAVs, patrol UAVs, etc. Russia, USA and China are leaders in combat aviation. The three powers have full-cycle production of all types of fighter aircraft: light and heavy fighters, interceptors, transport and tanker aircraft, and strategic bombers. And all three countries produce 5th generation fighters. The United States produces hundreds of F-35s, Russia produces multi-purpose heavy Su-57s, which have the richest combat experience. China produces the Chengdu J-20 and Shenyang J-31. These are all modern aircraft with increased stealth, high maneuverability and the ability to fly supersonic without an afterburner. Countries are also producing 4th generation fighters in large quantities. But American weapons are much more expensive to manufacture and capricious to operate, which is why Russian and Chinese fighter jets are more popular in the world market. The foreign sales of the Americans are guaranteed by the enslavement of other NATO countries. At the same time, the Americans can remotely turn sold copies, if not white, then severely limit their functionality. In terms of strategic bombers, Russia is ahead of the whole world in security. Our Tu-160 is the pinnacle of aircraft engineering. This bomber is mass produced in the modern M2 version, can fly at an altitude of more than 13 km and a speed of more than Mach 2, make intercontinental flights and launch missiles with a range of 5000 km. In fact, such a plane is beyond Israel's reach. Our competitors have no such thing. The United States has 19 operational B-2 aircraft, the famous stealth bombers. However, their invisibility is negated by modern air defense systems.
