Leaked From The MAKS airshow we have a new long range AA missile from VYMPEL called the RVV-BD(for export markets), this baby looks exactly like the rumored to have been cancelled R-37 that was being developed keeping the SU-35BM and the PAK-FA in mind.
The R-37 was being developed as a AWACS/C-STARS killer with a phenomenal Range of around 150-398km, imagine this baby with the PAK-FA/FGFA we'll be able to shoot down the PAF ERIEYES as soon as they take off.

The RVV-BD and RVV-MD are both being developed for use with the PAK-FA and other future Russian platforms, These videos are both designed to be Sales videos by VYMPEL.

Now here is an interview of NPO chief where he says that PAK-FA is all ready flying with new fifth gen. engine npo-117,
.
Q - Since United Engine Corporation been
formed , 5 th generation Fighter T-50 " climbed
into the sky and is undergoing flight tests , the
first Superjet already been transferred to
commercial airlines ... What in your opinion the
most important changes occurred in the Russian
aviation industry during this period (3 years) that
we acquired, and what can be lost?
A - The main thing in my opinion, is that joint
efforts succeeded in stopping the fall of the
industry. This required the efforts of many, first
and foremost, I would note Mikhail Pogosyan
and Eugene Marchukov - the General Designer
of the engine for the T-50.
For military aircraft, we have created two
engines - one for the aircraft, like Su-35 ",
the second - for the Russian aircraft 5 th
generation of T-50". The first - is "117C" - is
mainly intended for export. He is more
simple in terms of aerodynamics, and most
importantly - targeted for aircraft with
conventional arms, suspended on pylons
outside the fuselage, with no strong
constraints on dimensions. Such schemes
fro example are used on 4-th generation
aircraft s , exported to India and Malaysia.
The second engine - is "117" - though only differ
by one letter in the title, much more advanced
engine - this is a real engine of the 5-th
generation. From the rivals can sometimes be
heard the 5-th generation engine should be
with such a blade, such and such materials, high-
speed rotors, and you do not have this ... None
of this is all just ways of achieving the goal. A
single goal - increasing specific thrust, ie the ratio
of thrust to its weight.
For example, the first jet
engine Arkhip Mikhailovich Lulka weighed 1350 kg
and had the same thrust, that is, its specific thrust
is equal to 1. The 4 th generation engine ,
"AL-31F, has already managed to achieve specific
thrust of 8.7, and on a 5 th generation, the figure
is 10.
The new engine delivers a supersonic speed
without afterburner mode. What it gives? If
before the fighter was flying to the target with the
speed of 700 km / h, now - it is twice as fast.
Our "117" today is already flying on two
T-50s. For the company it is quite a major
achievement, a large move forward.
Although it
never was easy.
We also have new ideas, we can
boast some good groundwork. What is needed
in the field of military aviation - the beginning of
this mass production? To protect such a large
country like ours, from a serious attack the
number as 500-1000 aircrafts is needed . For
this needed orders, money, production
infrastructure.

The burn times on those missiles have to be longer than that. It's pathetic...

Since their is going to be a lot in common between the single seat PAK FA & twin seat FGFA, I wonder if we could order a couple of squadrons of PAK FA till the time the FGFA takes shape and is ready for production?

IAF will get 50 Pakfa + 200 FGFA. Pakfa will come first by 2015-16.

When did that happen? India is just looking for something it is there in from the beginning.
I know India would get 2 Squadrons of PAK-FA in the beginning and then another 200 odd FGFA (2 seaters). But the PAK-FA would not arrive before 2018 and the FGFA will ONLY arrive after 2020. For a 5th generation fighter being built grounds up, 2015 delivery schedule is too naive. If we belive that, then we are in for another "Gorschky" ...

Indo-Russia stealth fighter to make its international debut
Moscow: T-50 stealth fighter jointly developed by Russia and India will make its first international public appearance at the MAKS airshow which went underway here, where Moscow unveiled its newest space shuttle, armed drones and a new range of upgraded weapons. Two prototypes of the single seater jet, estimated to cost $6 billion, are expected to fly over Zhukovsky air field on the outskirts of Moscow.

"The co-development projects of the two countries will remain centerpiece of the Russian aviation industry", declared Mikhail Pogosyan, President of the United Aircraft Corporation, makers of the aircraft.

Sukhoi's T-50 made its maiden flight in January 2010 and is expected to enter service by 2015.

"The stealth fighter is progressing as planned and the new engine for the plane will be ready in time", Pogosyan said.

The fifth generation Sukhoi T-50, also called the PAK FA for its Russian abbreviations for a perspective frontline aviation complex, is meant to be a rival to the US joint strike fighter F-22 Raptor. Pogosyan had earlier said that Russia planned to develop upto 1,000 stealth fighters over the coming decade as aviation experts say that the Russian military orders will account for more than 50 per cent of the combat planes' produce. He said that the Russian airforce is expected to buy 20 new fighters annually in the coming years.

Top Russian aircraft makers including Sukhoi and Mig have survived thanks to orders from India and China, but steady increase in government defence spending over the past few years have given new incentives to the nation's aircraft industries.

The Indian projects jointly developed by the two countries will remain the centrepiece of the Russian aviation industry, according to a top official.
