There are updated photos at Aviation Week

Sirs,
there are 2 updated photos at Aviation Week & Space Magazine of April 23rd 2007, page 61. One with a “big nose” (for a bigger radar) and one with a small nose AKA F-35. Unfortunately my scanner is broken 🙁
Can someone post this photos here?
The article says South Korea is looking for partners. I just wonder if other in development countries with advanced aerospace industry like Brazil and South Africa would like to jump in !!! 🙂 Should be interesting !
Regards.

What is really confirmed.

Hello,
I am writing from Brazil. The sure thing (already announced) is that Brazil and South Africa will jointly develop the proposed A-Darter. Brazilian defence ministry already provided 50 million USD amount to start co-development. Indian involvement was never in discussion, other than a general agreement signed by three countries for “future defense cooperation” some years ago. Also, there were not any agreement for development of a MRAAM between SA and Brazil, as far as I know. I was present at last LAAD2007 exposition in Rio de Janeiro, with representatives from India, Mectron (Brazil missile house), CTA (Brazil Air Force research agency) and Denel (SA missile house) and there was not any notice on a ramjet MRAAM cooperative development. To finalize, only to general knowledge, the following is a photo of a model of a proposed AAM-1B Piranha upgrade, for use until the arrival of the A-Darter (expected to 2012~2015). This AAM-1B would be available in 2 to 3 years timeframe, if funding is granted.
Regards.

Pak-Fa wind tunnel models?

Hy guys, did you see this photo from the site http://www.warfare.ru ? Looks like to be a good representation of what T-50 will be, with a wing planform like the YF-23, and small horizontal stabilizers like the S-47 Berkut, but with inward canted fins, instead of outward canted fins as in the S-47. If these are wind tunnel models, this would be in accordance with Russian Air Force chief Vladimir Mikhailov statement at Aviation Week and Space Technoloy magazine dated January 23rd, 2006, that wind tunnel testing is now complete and the general design is frozen, with first flight expected to be in 2007 or 2008. Someone can tell something about this photo?
