I must write the review on PAK FA, but I stupidly sit, smoke and see the news from Far East DD Waaaaaait....

I hope all is going well there, it would be a shame if the flight was to be delayed even more, if it goes ahead as planned - best of luck to them. They better not forget our pictures, they caused so much excitement they must give us a picture!

So it can only be one more hour if it's supposed to be at noon. And why is the tracking aircraft an old Su-17? If it blows up next to the Pak-Fa it could damage it. And if you are the RIA news commentator, why aren't you on the scene? Or near the scene, on a building? With a camera, preferably?

If this one blows again, I am annoyed and won't come back for a decent amount of time, and when I come back you better have a picture ready or I'll laugh at you, Russia wEAk!!1!! (yes, it will also get you renamed) Crew. Yes, I am precautionary pissed in advance.

I just read that on the sukhoi forum. Would this Sukhoi su-17 be a recon version with cameras installed to observe the flight? No?

Yes, it`s recon plane with the camera.

Seriously if they use that old of an recon aircraft the pics will come out looking like a Vietnam documentary. Don't they have recon pods to strap on a 29SMT or 27SM? Or one of the Su-35 prototypes? Or a Su-24M2...I really don't see why they would use the 17, maybe it was just a typo though... seems more likely than them really using the Su-17.
