Fighter

WHEN IN U.S. to develop a jet fighter of the 5th generation, the F-22 and F-35, Russia quietly did the same. To this Guverich Mikoyan aircraft factories making tactical aircraft with heavy-light technology Logkiy Frontovoi Istretibel (LFI) which is known by the code I-2000. Western countries called LFI as 'Interceptor Front Light'. But clearly, aircraft operated since its inaugural edition in 2005 and this is the acceleration of Russia to offset the superiority of U.S. air power. According to Jane's Defense Weekly Vol 29, jet fighters of all-weather LFI is indeed set for a duel on the front lines, both for air-to-air combat and air-to-ground. Exceptional maneuverability and equipment as well as infra-red radar capable of detecting missiles launched quickly from the land and air to rapidly also anticipated. Similarly, in the attack day and night. MiG I-2000 is designed to be able to take off and landing on short runway. This is supported by the landing gear system designed, so that the engine thrust is much more than heavy aircraft, the fighter jet was quickly operated on the front line at the critical moment. Brief LFI I-2000 is similar to F-22 'Raptor', but the construction of the center and rear wing is different. The size of the plane approached the MiG-21 and MiG-29. Aircraft weight at take-off of about 12 tons, a maximum of 16 tons. New Russian fighter jet of the 5th generation of this priority demands up to 10 years. To this produced with two versions, namely LFI single machine that resembles F-16 made by Lockheed Martin, U.S., and LFI multiple machines using the RD-33 engines are normally used for MiG-29. I-2000 manufacturing-oriented multi-role aircraft that whiz in the air duel. But I-2000 may be a rival of Russia itself, the S-54 Sukhoi manufactured to be exported after the Su-27 and Su-30. It is said that Iran had glanced at the MiG I-2000, because the fighter jets are classified stealth aircraft that would be needed to deal with the U.S.
