Exactly in what the Scorpion concept is something different from our AMX, a plane having been operatively used in the Cas/OA role from almost two decades?
Beside having two engines instead of one I mean.
Not to criticize this new plane, just to suggest you that a very similar plane fitting in the same niche already exist and is combat proven (and had specifically operated in team with the A-10 over Kosovo), so maybe a look to its records can be useful.

Funny to watch ppl critique this for 5th gen stealth when this design was listed as one of the reasons why the YF 23 had better stealth than the F 22

Doesn’t know who are refering to, the critics were about the presence of conventional canards and rudder not about the delta wings or the podded engines and bombs bays on central tunnel.

Same discussion is ongoing on russiandefence, just more serious than the usual trollfest between russianSTRONKists and ‘muricas taking place here.
A.T.M. it seem that a consensus have been reached about some points:

First one, the basic design of MiG-29/35 with 6/8 pylons on the wing, none on the engine pods and one on fuselage is an absolute no go for a 5 gen plane.

The sketch published has instead sparked mixed reactions: most criticized part were the control surfaces the canards and the conventional, tall rudders are considered a great step backward in comparison to the ones on the T-50.

Delta wings coupled with the typical russian blended wing/body, engine pods and central tunnel configuration are instead seen as the only way to get a consistent weight reduction while keeping quite large bombs bay and a good fuel fraction coupled with the lowest possible drag.
A single engine solution would instead require to get back to a conventional fuselage with side/ bottom mounted missiles and bomb bays i.e. much more weight and drag.

Main problem is however that there is not actually a middle class engine of the same technological level of the Objekt 30 in development, almost for what we know.

Well, just looking to the different “nose” they have would have made this to be expected.

Russian company working on a lightweight stealth fighter to replace the Mig-29 and Mig35

It seem me that they have borrowed S-27 rudders, judging by their dimensions…
Seriously, some more credible sketches?

Not at all…

The F-35 has a range of options to ID the Sukhoi, including NCTR via its radar, ESM by classifying the Sukhoi’s emissions, deconfliction by consulting higher C&C, long-range optical identification via its EOTS, etc.

Most importantly the F-35 would have time to think and observe before being called on to make a decision. It’s ability to detect and track the Sukhoi 100 miles away would allow it to decide if it even wished to close that distance.

First, what do you think that the F-35 would have such a great advantage?
The Su-35 also has RCS reduction measures, unlike the F-15 and F-16 used in the Red Flag AFAIK.
While not at all at the same lvl of the opponent, those also have to be considered in the equation, above all if the F-35 would shoot itself in the foot using just LPI mode i.e. so forfeiting the doppler effect.

Same can be said with all those things you list: they are not a F-35 exclusive, about all current production fighters have something similar.
And no, a difference of -10db means not a ten time greater detection range, actually it’s less than the double.

Were the Harriers ever really useful for the other operators: Spain, Italy, Thailand, India?
India didn’t seem to use their sea harriers in any big operation (correct me on this) eventually went back to normal jets, albeit stobar
UK had a lot of use in Falklands of course, but if there were no harriers, I reckon they’d still keep the Ark Royal and used F-4s and Buccs against Argentina.

We used our owns a lot in Lybia.
In any case: without them no Carriers (Garibaldi and Cavour), without the Carrier no place to base our Heavy AWS helo assets (we had Vittorio Veneto and Doria class cruiser before) and without them, no Marte missiles, no way to use our Marò in heli assaults, no AEW etc,etc…

Is there a English pages of this?
Using Google translation is horrible..

Go download Yandex browser, being russian based they start from the complex and rich language and end with trivial and oversimplified one…

Here the first part for an example:
The Asia’s largest air show Aero India-2017 begins its work on the basis of Yelahanka in Bengaluru. This year the exhibition will bring together more than 750 companies from 109 countries of the world. Traditionally, large-scale exposition at the Airshow is a key partner of India in sphere military-technical cooperation with Russia. Among the key enterprises of the Russian aviation industry at the Bangalore exhibition — Russian aircraft Corporation “MiG”, submitted in January 2017 the latest lightweight multi-role fighter of the 4++ generation MiG-35. The General Director of RAC “MiG” Ilya Tarasenko said in an interview with RIA Novosti correspondent Ivan Suraev about export prospects for the MiG-35, possible creation of its naval version, the actual contracts in sphere military-technical cooperation with India and other foreign countries, as well as on the combat use of carrier-based MiG-29K/KUB aboard the heavy aircraft-carrying cruiser “Admiral Kuznetsov” on the objects of international terrorists in Syria
