04/30/2008. Remarks by Bernhard Klein: "Through its initial development up to 2002, the Berkut (Golden Eagle) had the following designations: Su-32, Su-37 and Su-47. Thought in the West to be a fighter (hence the fighter code name) it, in fact was never so, but an experimental single-seat advanced technology demonstrator. Manufacture of a planned second flying prototype was cancelled due to financial problems in Russia at that time." |
