   Either Chinese or Russian pilot in Su-57 takes off from Chinese airfield and demonstrates how he is not a DEI hire.

     @cosmonautkatyusha Ballsy and very skilled, too bad the future of "dogfighting" is shooting a missile from tens of miles away before anything even close to visual range.

     My wife's cousin is an engineer for the Gromov Flight Research Institute (similar to NASA, but White), and when we got married close to Zhukovsky some years ago, he took us to meet some of his colleagues, Mr. Bogdan being among them. Eduard Yelyan (first flight engineering test pilot on the Tu-144 & Hero of the Soviet Union) was my wife's grandfather, but he passed in 2009, but part of his DNA lives on in my son. Anyways, the folks I met were not debonaire or uppity like some of my fellow western engineering test pilots tend to be. Incredibly humble folk.
     
     My wife's grandfather is the one sitting in the left pilot seat...
