I got that picture from Karpenko's site.
You mean Burtsev works for Sukhoj (corrected—Morpheus Eberhardt)?
No, it is obvious Karpenko stole it and edited away the rp.net bar on the bottom. Or he stole it from someone who stole it, doesn't matter.
If Burtsev doesn't work for Sukhoj and doesn't have permission from "Sukhoj" and also the Russian Federation to photograph T-50, then he would be the primary "thieve" that is "stealing" this photograph of T-50.
Keep in mind that the value in this kind of photo is in the aircraft and the pilot, not the one who "takes" a camera and points and clicks it at the aircraft.
It is also "interesting" that Karpenko hasn't added his characteristic signature to this photo.
By the way, I corrected the credit to the picture under discussion. You should correct yours too.
I really "feel" for Sukhoj here, because whenever I see an image of one of my designs on the net without me being credited, I get "upset". Some of the images are also sold by those who take ("steal"?) the images.
Plagiarists upset me more, however. We have a user on this forum, who is a terrible plagiarist. I have already indirectly warned him and told him to come forward with his admission of his act. He has yet to come forward with his admission.
