    They had a specific point in their designs where literally everything was just a silver tube with wings. SU-7, MiG-19, Su-17, etc.

    Seems like sometime after that they figured out how to make everything look badass.

      Russian aircraft are like volvo. Suddenly one day the designers decided to use curves. What tubes is to russia, boxes are to Volvo.

      Source: I own a '96 Volvo 940. Ot’s a station wagon, and therefore one of the most aerodynamically challenged vehicles in existence.

      SU-57 is the best looking sexiest. Its beauty cannot be hidden from an AA radar acreen.
