Shhhhhh! Don't tell our ministers or we'll be getting them in the UK, especially if it can be carrier-able.

That is a Russian plane made by a Russian manufacturer. If there is potential buyer with £££ or $$$ it will be carrier-able in no time.

We need a carrier first

Lots of good features on that, by the way. I think it's a very clever design that will do good on the market. Twin engine, supersonic, fly by wire, modern avionics, set up to operate from unprepared strips and away from maintenance facilities (check out those inlet covers on takeoff!). I think it's quite a bit ahead of what the competition has to offer, so I think it'll be a winner.

It's also interesting how they're selling it as a training complex that can be configured to imitate the systems and performance of not only Russian but also Western aircraft for training - including the F-35 as they claim.

And no doubt, someday these will also end up in private hands. I want one

They watched the Movie "Firefox" and got inspired by the missile that launched backwards if the pilot thinks in Russian so they added a few features now if you think in Ukrainian the missile flys into the ground and if you think in English the ejection seat fires after the plane inverts itself and lowers the altitude to less than 500 feet.If you are Vladimir Putin the plane lands at the nearest area that has a virgin forest with tigers and gives you an ax a hunting rifle a pair of fatigues and a camera.

If I'm a pilot and think in Finnish, will it fly me to bar?

Yes but if you are Simo Häyhä it does the same thing as it will to those who think in English.
