Kapedani:’It would help immensely if you were less of a prick.’
You seriously expect Putin’s cyber-clowns are here to be helpful? Perish the thought.
I wonder however, how authentic this komersant.ru picture actually is. Isn’t there a real photo or video segment from where you can infer the horizontal plane layout?
Of course we’re not here to be helpful. We’re here to take over the World!! and now we have the wonder-weapon to do it (the Su- ‘I’m Gonna Git You Sukka’– 50)…AND YOU’RE FIRST NORWAY!!
Shadowpuppet, have you been tinkering with ‘Kommersant’s’ pictures again?
So do you think that the final IRST of the PAK-FA will be retractable, to keep smooth “stealth” lines ?
Possibly, check-out the edge-alignment on the FR-probe hatch doors (2/11):

As many as they need. You’d be surprised what a positive trade balance does for your national spending power…
They’ll buy it in serious numbers- that’s why they’ve ordered so few Su-35S,
no MiG-35s etc.
Well i think its just another “wonderweapon” that Russia never will field in any numbers that mather anywhere else then on airshows and parades.
…you mean you hope.
The engine nacelles are almost identical to Su-27 and I can bet there’s some very wide frontal angles where the engine face can be seen……Its clearly focused on frontal RCS reduction, but right now given the alignments of the engines and the rest of the fuselage, that will be nowhere near F-22 ranges (or F-35). Side and rear seem to be getting little attention here.
:rolleyes:
Ducted-S in the vertical plane (as the manufacturer alludes and certainly appear more sophisticated than F-22/35):

Nice pic of the underside btw, very impressive indeed!…….oh, and you failed to notice the MLG retracts into the intake compartments (and not the wings a la Su-27/35)…….from your own pic!!!??? Jeepers Creepers.
Those LERXs move by the way.
According to the usually well informed Flateric over at Secret Projects, it is called the Povorotnaya Chast Naplyva (PChN) or movable LEX section
Utterly stunning design- see you @ MAKS sometime, baby!!
With all “do” respect…
Well, they say a picture speaks a thousand words…so I’ll stand aside……
…’with all do respect’.
