PAK FA first broke the sound barrier
http://www.lenta.ru/news/2011/03/14/pakfa/


A prototype of a promising fifth-generation fighter T-50 (PAK FA) during the flight test sound barrier, according to Interfax . According to the source agency, the first supersonic flight took place "last week" and was considered a success. Currently, prototypes of aircraft undergo a program of flight tests at supersonic speeds. In flight involves two prototype aircraft, only 40 fulfilled the test flights.
The first prototype of the T-50 flies from January 2010, the second such aircraft joined the test program in early March 2011. According to schedule, test airframe PAK FA will be completed in 2011-2012. In 2013, the Russian Defense Ministry received ten experienced the initial batch of machines that will be tested in combat use. Fighters arrive in Lipetsk center operational use and retraining flight personnel. In 2015, the start serial purchase of T-50.

Currently, plans of the Ministry of Defense of Russia include the purchase of 60 fighters, not counting the pilot batch of planes. Purchase of aircraft will be produced within the state program of armaments for 2011-2020, funding for which will be 19 trillion rubles through the military. In general, the need for the Russian Air Force in the PAK FA is estimated at 150 units, but the exact amount of purchase of fighter planes are still unknown.

Technical details about the T-50 is classified. Earlier, official sources said only that the plane will be highly intellectualization of the board, will take off and landing on runways length of 300-400 meters and is capable of performing combat missions in any weather and time of day. In addition, a Russian fighter jet will be maneuverable and able to make cruising flight at supersonic speeds.

1. RVV-MD : RVV-MD, a small-range air-to-air guided missile for a close-in dogfight, can engage helicopters and aircraft of different types on a round-the-clock basis, from all aspects, against ground surface, under severe countermeasures. The missile has high maneuverability, (optical) jamming immunity. It is intended for arming fighters, attack aircraft and combat helicopters. The missile features all-aspect passive IR guidance (two-color IR seeker) with combined aerogasdynamic control, a fixed-thrust solid fuel motor, a laser proximity fuse (for RVV-MDL) or a radar proximity fuse (for RVV-MD). The warhead is of rod type.

2.RVV-MD modified :Air-to-Air Missile - Medium Range

3. RVV-SD : RVV-SD is a highly effective medium-range missile used for engaging air targets (fighters, attack aircraft, helicopters, cruise missiles, etc.) on a round-the-clock basis, from all aspects, under severe countermeasures, against ground or water surface, in a multi-channel firing mode in accordance with "fire-and-forget" principle.
4.X-38ME (Kh-38ME):Air-launched modular missiles of the Kh-38ME family are intended for hitting armored, hardened, vulnerable ground targets and groups of targets as well as surface targets in littoral areas.This family of modular missiles provides extensive combat capabilities when used against a wide range of targets due to the variety of guidance Systems.
Guidance systems of the missiles are the following:
Χ-38 MLE (Kh-38MLE) - inertial + semi-active laser
X-38 MAE (Kh-38MAE) – inertial + active radar
X-38 MTE (Kh-38MTE) - inertial + imaging IR
X-38 MKE (Kh-38MKE) - inertial + satellite navigation.
5. Kh-58(X-58U) : Anti radiation missile with a range of 120Km
6. X-31PD (Kh-31) :is a Russian air-to-surface missile carried by aircraft such as the MiG-29 or Su-27. It is a sea skimming cruise missile with a range of 110 kilometres (60 nmi; 70 mi) or more and capable of Mach 3.5, the first supersonic anti-ship missile that could be launched by tactical aircraft
7. X-35UE : Long-range, radar-guided, air-to-surface missile
8. X-59Mk2 : The X-59MK2 guided air-launched missile is intended to kill a variety of pin-pointed stationary ground targets, including targets with no radar, IR and optical background contrast. The missile operates on "launch-and-forget" principle and demonstrates high guidance accuracy due to autonomous terrain recognition in the target area. Low-level goal flight pattern of the missile is programmed in the flying mission. To provide the possibility of guidance on different targets, one or more missions can be loaded into the guidance system of the missile.
9. X-59MK :The X-59MK airborne enhanced-range air-to-surface guided missile with the ARGS-59E active radar homing head is derived from the X-59ME missile with the TV/command guidance system. It is designed for engagement of a wide range of radar-contrast sea surface targets in both fair and adverse weather conditions at Sea States up to 6. The missile makes part of weapon systems of the Su-30 type aircraft.
10.KAB500-S-E : The KAB-500S-E is a precision guided munition developed to meet the requirements of the Russian Federation Air Force (RFAF) for an all-weather, day/night, fire and forget weapon to take out surface and ground targets. The KAB-500S-E guidance systems is based on the 24-channel GLONASS global positioning system (GPS).
11. KAB1500LG: Laser guided bomb. 1500 Kg heavyweight precision-guided bomb
12.KAB1500KR : The KAB-1500KR is a fire-and-forget 1,500 kg class precision-guided air bomb designed to be delivered by Su-24M, Su-30, Su-34 and Mig-29 fighter-bomber aircraft. Its main purpose is to defeat surface stationary/fixed hardened targets such as buried fortifications, port installations, military facilities, depots and reinforced shelters.

First flight of second prototype PAK FA (T-50-2)

I did not see the landing gear being retracted - why is that?

 

[venkat]

^^^ that's a safety precaution for any new flight..in case of emergency the a/c will be ready to land...provided Engine and other controls are still working.

Somehow the prototype PAK-FA looks like its one or 2 generations behind the current production f-22.

I dont think any F-22 pilot is ever going to lose any sleep over the PAK-FA.

If PAKFA remains undetected upto 30NM by the F-22 then it has done it's job for what it is designed to be.

The MKI has a larger RCS than Rafale or EF-2000. But best of luck trying to match 2 medium aircraft with a heavy aircraft.

You cannot dismiss aircraft as easily as you can dismiss a girl by looks alone.

The F-22 pilot has every reason to fear the PAKFA as well as fear the Flanker. You cannot dismiss an aircraft with specs either. In the current US doctrine, they are experimenting using the F-22 and F-15 together for air superiority missions. If I jam your radar, that would make all my air and ground assets as stealthy as the F-22.
