Russia’s new G4++ fighter, Su-35, has completed today the first demonstration flight, RIA Novosti reported. The flight lasted six minutes.
It was Sukhoi test pilot Sergei Bogdan that flew the jet, having performed a few aerial stunts. The journalists and the guests, including ex-commander of the RF Air Force Vladimir Mikhailov and the company’s chief, applauded when Su-35 took ground. The fighter jet was demonstrated at Sukhoi testing ground in Zhukovsky-town of the Moscow region. The flight completed the first stage of Su-35 testing. Su-35 nears the G5 fighters in terms of combat efficiency and characteristics. It is designed to dominate in the air, hitting the ground and above-the-water targets any time and in any weather conditions. Serial production of the jet and its supplies to Russia’s and overseas clients will begin in 2010 or 2011. Amid peculiarities of the jet are a new avionics complex based on the digital command information system that integrates onboard equipment, a new radar station with phased array antenna, which has longer range of air/ground target detection, enabling to track up to 30 air targets and shoot eight targets simultaneously. Its super maneuvering capability is another advantage. What’s more, the jet may carry up to the 8 tons of combat loading at 12 suspension points.

Russian Air Force may receive fifth-generation fighter in 2013

Russia is expecting a new fifth-generation fighter to enter service in 2013, the Air Force commander said on Monday. "We will begin test flights [of the new fighter] in 2009, and hope to receive the aircraft in 2013," Col. Gen. Alexander Zelin said. The new fighter aircraft, tentatively designated as the Sukhoi PAK FA or T-50, will be built at the Komsomolsk-on-Amur aircraft manufacturing plant in Russia's Far East. The T-50 fighter, equipped with two powerful engines with thrust vectoring, will feature high maneuverability and stealth to ensure air superiority and precision in destroying ground and sea targets. Some experts believe the PAK FA fighter has been designed to be comparable to both the American F-22 Raptor and F-35 Lightning II. It will eventually replace the MiG-29 Fulcrum and Su-27 Flanker fighters in the Russian Air Force and will be exported to other countries.

Greetings North Pole, I have been in Yerevan Armenia for a week now. I will be here for the next two months.

Incidentally, I have also been in Yerevan Armenia for a week now and I'll be posting from Armenia for the next couple of months. After years of contemplating it I finally purchased a home in our homeland last year. I already have my Armenian passport and my socialakan apahovutyan kard as well. Yes, my first step to repatriation after a thousand years of exile! My little children are looking forward to the trip.
Maybe we should meet.

RUSSIAN PRESIDENT IN BAKU: DID HE GET WHAT HE WANTED?

By Alman Mir - Ismail

Thursday, July 10, 2008

Newly elected President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev paid his first official visit to Azerbaijan where he met with his Azerbaijani counterpart Ilham Aliyev and leaders of the various religious denominations in the country. He also visited the Heydar Aliyev Foundation, which preserves the legacy of the late President Heydar Aliyev. During the visit, five documents were signed between the two governments, including a declaration on friendship and strategic partnership, an agreement between the foreign ministries to cooperate in the sphere of archives, a memorandum between the ministries of internal affairs on the protection of transit cargo, an agreement between customs committees, and a memorandum between agencies on the management of state properties (APA, July 3).

Both Medvedev and Aliyev hailed the results of the visit. “Russia and Azerbaijan have strong economic ties, which help us in the resolution of other issues. We are close to achieving our target of a trade turnover of $2 billion. In the past four months, trade between our two countries has increased by half. It shows that there is very good potential,” said Medvedev (RIA-Novosti, July 3). President Aliyev echoed these words and also praised the growing economic cooperation between the two nations. He specifically stressed the growing cooperation in humanitarian affairs. Azerbaijan recently agreed to host a Baku branch of Moscow State University, a new initiative by the Russian Federation to foster its public diplomacy in post-Soviet areas. Aliyev focused on the efforts of the Azerbaijani government to protect and develop the Russian language and Russian minority in the country.

Other issues on the two presidents’ agenda were the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict; regional security cooperation, especially within the framework of the Caspian Sea and the resolution of its legal status; and issues of religious tolerance and trade. Medvedev praised the efforts by President Aliyev and his Armenian counterpart Serzh Sarkisian to find a peaceful resolution to the conflict and added that “Russia will do its best to help this process” (Novosti-Azerbaijan, July 3). Last month, Medvedev hosted both Presidents in St. Petersburg for the first time to discuss the conflict. Some pundits in the country speculated that this was done at the insistence of Sarkisian, with whom President Aliyev refused to meet at the Bucharest NATO summit in order not to strengthen his legitimacy after the reportedly fraudulent elections.

Although both Medvedev and Aliyev said that the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict was the main topic of discussion, it was clear from commentaries before and after the visit that the conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan is only a bargaining chip in the larger game around Azerbaijan’s growing gas exporting capabilities and the Russian state company Gazprom’s desire to prevent Azerbaijan from being the alternative gas provider to European markets. In Baku in early June Gazprom President Alexei Miller offered to buy all Azerbaijani gas at the market price. Although no official offer has been made yet, local analysts rushed to comment on this proposal, stating that Russia wanted to monopolize Azerbaijan’s gas exports.

Medvedev did not shy away from openly declaring Russia’s interest in energy trade with Azerbaijan. “Russia and Azerbaijan will develop cooperation in the energy sphere. Energy, transport and industry are the focus of both presidents. And cooperation in the trade of energy products will increase in the near future,” said Medvedev (Novosti-Azerbaijan, July 3).

Russian officials have even tried to entice Azerbaijan by offering vague promises about the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. Russian ambassador to Azerbaijan Vasiliy Istratov said prior to the visit, “Russia will play a more constructive role in the resolution of the conflict” (www.day.az, July 1).

Official Baku, however, does not seem to be too excited about the Gazprom offer for reasons that are very clear: why sell gas to Russia at market rates, if it is possible to do the same for the European countries and use the energy card as leverage in bilateral relations with the EU? Khazar Ibrahim, the spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said, “Any sort of pressure from outside on Azerbaijan on the issue of energy supplies is impossible” (www.day.az, June 28).

Thus, it is likely that Medvedev’s visit, although a very positive step in bilateral relations, will not result in too much of a change in Azerbaijan’s foreign policy. A balanced foreign policy will be continued.

Azerbaijan, Iran, others to work together
Published: July 2, 2008 at 4:01 PM

BAKU, Azerbaijan, July 2 (UPI) -- Azerbaijan, Turkey, Georgia, Iran and Russia are in talks to join their power grids.

The announcement was made by the Azerbaijani energy minister after a meeting with his Iranian counterpart, local newspaper Ekho reported.

Armenia, which has been at odds with Azerbaijan for the last 20 years, will reportedly not be allowed to join the project. The project, involving five states, aims to further improve electricity supplies and open the way for the sale of electricity to Europe.

Turkmenistan is also reportedly showing interest in this project, Azerbaijani Industry and Energy Minister Natiq Aliyev said.

"We, together with Iran, are establishing a new concept which envisages the presence of the ring power circuit inclusive of Russia, Azerbaijan, including the Naxcivan Autonomous Republic, Iran, Turkey and Georgia," Azerbaijani Energy Minister Natiq Aliyev said.

Parviz Fattah said the group is in preparations for the July commissioning of the second Imisli-Parsabad power line, which will increase the level of electricity exchange between the Iran and Azerbaijan from 250 megawatts to 700 megawatts.

I don't think Russia is going to work with Georgia they are almost at war. I don't see them working togheter but the rest of them is a possibality. But there is an other point Iran is buying electricity from Armenia as well as Georgia I believe and now they want to sell to Europe.

I don't know what to make from it there is a to much contradiction of what's going on political level and what's written in this article.
