With due respect to stealth, even US chosen YF22 over over YF23 despite the later being more stealthier, though other factors were also there.

Our own UCAV is scheduled to fly within 2 years, though I don't trust their dates.

"Debunking Misconceptions regarding Sukhoi PAK-FA’s frontal Radar Cross Section. RCS Reduction in various sectors of the forward hemisphere is achieved by using S-shaped air intake duct and the coating of radar absorbing materials. But if you look closely to those images available in the public...

Even if your products are high on demand, you can not be corruption-free ! Corruption always finds way.

Well, Sukhoi could easily have incorporated more stealth but its willful ignorance on stealth says many things e.g. stealth is overrated or not that important.

PAKFA T-50 in its current form is also a deadly jet, though better is always better. If FGFA is not going to be a two-seater then it's useless to buy PAKFA T-50 in its RAF version, rather we should buy FGFA since it'll have better avionics in minimal time (I mean FGFA won't be taking much time).

PAK-FA T-50 has already completed design phase, then what kind of JV FGFA is ? Avionics assimilation ? making it two-seater ? IMO these are just modifications and not a joint development venture.

Then take the article you posted by Ranesh Rajan as a fake one, he himself is just guessing.

Seems only PAKFA T-50 is running on time :), rest have just delayed here :sad:

PAKFAs are alright but FGFAs ? have IAF even defined its requirements ?

@Yumdoot It is said that PAKFA T-50 will be having some sort of artificial intelligence which will assist the pilot in his functions, if so then it also negates the need of a customized tandem config FGFA since it can lower the workload of the pilot !?

I like the FGFA concept except it's two-seater plan, which will increase the RCS of a stealthy jet ::playball::

Don't know if a repost :-

@gadeshi How would they hide the heat signatures of the twin engine like F22 ? :confused1: do they have any plan for that ?

It's now my desktop wall, but can't see this one:- "This photo is no longer available" :-

I am not asking to shoot you but your unnecessary criticism of Russian tech and US chest thumping which is simply irritating and off topic as well.

@Mods, Some underestimating Americans have sh!tted this thread, please delete OTs & chest thumping posts.

Perhaps IAF wants to avoid possible delays and errors by HAL in designing tandem version.

An old figure of First Prototype, but a good one:- I just made DFi my home page :D
