I think we are still confusing the Sukhoi SU-37 Terminator, evolution of the Su-35 Flanker with the Sukhoi S-37 Berkut where the S stands for Simonov, the designer of the prototype.

Honorable
Thank u about your note but I'm quite well informed about difference between the super agile su-37 super flanker ( or terminator ) & s-37 berkut ( the golden eagle ).
If mig 35(1.42) could use it why shouldn't su-37 also
use it.
Best regards

Fireblade,
thanks for the e-mail with links.
So now I would ask why a conventional although advanced design like the SU-37 should use plasma-stealth? It would be better fitted (if it exists and works) on a purposely built new design. The S-37 itself looks to me less advanced than the Flanker: look at its fuselage, it doesn't have the blended wing body of the Flanker. Its overall design seems to be thought only to experiment the Forward swept wing.

I'm (mostly) agree with u but stealth could give su-37 a big advantage in a fight( hard to find ,hard to kill ) and with an inside weapons & S-400 would be unbeatable at less 4 a two decades.

Thanks a lot for the links!
So, the S-400 can be used as an AA missile, very interesting. Did they try launching it from a/c yet? Can't wait to see the results!
