Hi everyone,
JIC you missed it, the link below is to Veniks Russian Aviation Combat Review. It has some good pics of the Iranian "Stealthy" Fighter, the Shafagh, based off of MiG's I-2000 LFI design. The model looks pretty cool. The pictures of the full scale development cockpit and trainer are distorted. I am guessing because those pics aren't "official" or the person who first scanned them or loaded them didn't know what they were doing..lol.

However, it is known that Sukhoi is leading the LFI development for the VVS. They have a picture there as well of "a" Sukhoi LFI design that look's totally cool (The last pic on the bottom left), however, I don't know if that represents the configuration they are building.

FYI, for anyone who doesn't know, the LFI is sort of Russia's equivalent to the JSF. I don't know if that is supposed to include a STOVL version, but I don't think it does.
