Russia tests new Stealth Fighter

Long a producer of combat jets, the Russian firm Sukhoi has just tested the T-50, Moscow's first jet fighter since the end of the Cold War. Invisible to radar, the twin-engine T-50 is Russia's counterpart to our F-22 Raptor. The Russian Air Force may begin receiving the new jet in 2013, and it may become available to foreign buyers by 2015 or so.
It now appears that Obama's decision to terminate F-22 production was a mistake. The F-22 was a virtually peerless fighter. For years it guaranteed US air superiority in any confrontation. Now, the US will have to make do with a fleet of aging Raptors, while Russia, and perhaps other states, threaten to eclipse our mastery of the skies.
