this is Paralay’s own PS. while conformal weapon bay design looks close to proposed one (overdue with its size of course here – there’s just no enough place between nacelles to put anything in pairs there), pilots would not quite like such ‘nice looking’ intake design – especially on intensive slideslope maneuvers:)

In what way would the aerodynamics, Lift and maneuverability of the Flanker be affected by such a Silent Treatment ? Would it be a minor degradation of lift, aerodynamics etc, or simply not worth it?
