So I take it this is not directly FADEC related either (?)

Maybe the sensor malfunctioned because the nosewheel was spraying copius amounts of water into the starboard intake? (Martinez told me to say that).

I’m more interested in WTF is Article 133 mentioned in Q2 Saturn report 2011;)

When I get my MICEX license, NPO Saturn’s top of my list 😉

I guess to coincide with the production variant of the T-50, which is supposed to be flown in 2013.

The 10 examples for RuAF/MoD testing is where things start to get fruity, I’d expect an Izd.29/33 ‘beta’ and the 2-D nozzles to break cover in the latter half of that batch.

I think flateric is a civilian, with a mimimum qualification of aeronauticl engineering. He is too open to be a military man.

No, he’s a female triple agent- hiding behind the 3rd bush from the left:

How’s about this one Trident? 😉

interesting look at the sensors from ARES:

Includes analysis of radar reduction on the irst and suggestion that the rearward bubble behind the cockpit is a rear facing electro optical sensor.

There is some confusion regarding the ‘bubble’ (KS-O) sensor, that could be the one mounted on the tail (there appears to be a placement). Whereas I’d expect the one behind the canopy to be RCS treated like the frontal IRST (above).

Friggin’ awesome!!, Thanks!!

101 KC-U are the distributed sensors (who said that just four?)

Sorry flateric sweety, that was a typo- I meant 44 (forty-four):

Hmmm, while I’ve yet to see clear evidence of differential LEVCON or LE flap deflection on any of the in-flight photos

Watch closely as ’51’ breaks over ’52’:

Other news: ’53’ & ’54’ will enter flight tests with AESAs by year end – or more realistically the airframes will be complete, (Tikhomirov-NIIP has bench-tested 3 prototypes, and the 4th will enter flight tests probably aboard the company Su-30MK ‘603’, shortly).

The RuAF will commence evaluation of 10 pre-production examples from 2013@ Lipetsk, with development projected for completion in 2016.

I think you guys have got your wires crossed. Article 101 KC is the DASS equivalent for the PAK-FA composed of 6 elements:

101 KC (?) is the sensor replacing the traditional OLS;
101 KC-O is the spherical mounting behind ’52’s canopy;
101 KC-Y are the (4) distributed sensors.

That ‘Sniper’ pod’s designation is not (yet) known. It may explain the failure to induct license produced ‘Damocles’, I hope it’s as capable as the aforementioned western types.
