I came across this artist rendering on a few other sites I frequent. It certainly looks quite sleek and as one can pretty easily see bears a striking resemblance to our very own F-22 Raptor and YF-23 prototype. I had been wondering recently what the Russians answer to our newer fighter aircraft would be as their hopes to mass produce the MiG 1.44 MFI have not come to fruition, as has the SU-47 prototype (development on the SU-47 has been stopped due to advancements in 5th generation fighters by the MiG Bureau). Maybe this is it? The Russians claim they have completed testing the prototype(s) and will begin the process of making the aircraft fully operational and put into mass production in the year to come. Someone also mentioned that Russia and India are teaming up to produce an aircraft similar to the F-35 in function? I have to say if the finished product looks anything like the image above it will indeed prove to be quite a sexy machine. Let's see how it unfolds.
