In early 2005, when Sukhoi OKB gave its first generic presentation on the T-50 PAK-FA FGFA to Indian Air Force (IAF) HQ, it was quite surprised to hear that the IAF wanted a twin-engined, tandem-seat 17.2-tonne aircraft that was at least 5 tonnes lighter than the T-50 PAK-FA

.
India, which wants a two-seater, lighter version of FGFA, would take part in the development of trainer version from the very beginning.

if this is true then i might be the saddest man in india todayThe Russian Defence Ministry has indicated that the Russian Air Force will be inducting the FGFA which will have stealth features, greater engine resource, enhanced target acquisition, new weapon suites and airframe different from the present generation of fighters. As for India, a lighter twin-seater version of the fifth generation fighter would be developed.
