Russian Air Force have been previously identified in the 2020-2040 years will purchase 200-250 aircraft T-50, and if the economic situation is positive, then the number of purchases will increase to 400-450 aircraft.
given that the U.S. fifth generation fighter F-22 heavy too expensive (the export price is expected to be $ 250 million), almost no country can afford, so the Russian-made T-50 in the international market main rival will be the F-35 “Lightning-II” fighter.

Although the company’s fifth-generation Sukhoi T-50 fighter aircraft to enter the world market, time is later than the U.S. F-35, but with a more excellent performance, fully able to surpass the Russian-made fighters. Also need to consider is that this half of the world, many countries have encountered challenges from the United States, they want to maintain their policy of independence, it will seek to find other areas in the military high-tech partner .
