The riveting, the skin deformation…does not look promising. This is not the same level of construction at all…and it does not indicate the Russians have developed the level of technology to manufacture to the same level.
Yes I know what all the fanboys will say “its only a prototype! how dare you question the genius of Russian designers!” Well to redesign this assembly…into something comparable to what 5-th generation aircraft have…will take a very long time and a lot more effort. Right now, they have yet to show anything which indicates they can develop anything close.

UAZ if you even do a visual comparision between the sail of Hotel class and YD there is a world of difference between the two , just because the front of sail is slightly angled forward that does not make it similar , the YD has a sharp and distinct wide/broad sail design not seen on any previous Russian sub.
