Now the big question is will the Russian military actually be able to afford to buy any?

The good news is this will probably force Congress to get rid of the export restriction on the F-22 since the Russians are certainly going to export their version and we can't have our allies being out gunned by places like Malaysia.

The Sukhoi T-50's flight comes nearly two decades after the first prototype of the U.S. F-22 Raptor took to the air...

They let us work most of the bugs out before they steal the plans.

The diagram looks nothing like the actual picture.

The vertical stablizers are splayed like the F-22 and the fuselage is rounded on the top. In the diagram they are not.

Even first line Russian aircraft have a bad reputation for poor quality, unreliability, and expensive maintenance. Russia’s defense industrial base is aging in both equipment and personnel, which makes quality and steady production rates implausible.

Russia's first stealth fighter makes maiden flight

Um, if it's so stealthy, how do they know that?

With the moon mission getting canceled and the F-22 getting canceled, you’d think we could save a bundle and cancel the failed V-22 already. Or do we only cancel the good stuff?

I would be interested to see some RCS numbers because from my perspective, those engine outlets seemingly kill any stealth this fighter may have.
