    Amusing you think they have developed a whole new plane in secret... shows how effective western intel is today... bellingcat probably has similar access to satellite photos and is likely as up to date as the US intel...

    If they had the rubles to build a new plane and this is it ready for purchase at MAKS21... I hope a lot of countries took their cheque books, but why would they be hyping it like this if it was already ready.

    This roll out under a tarp was done with the Su-57 in 2009 for a taxi, it didn't take off till a year or two later and is only entering service now... a decade later.

    Sukhoi is realy fast. A month and a half ago Sukhoi only start developing new light fighter, according to western claims and now they already have a prototype...

    True. But there is a difference. In that time Russian industry was not as developed as today and Su-57 was the first fifth gen fighter jet and whole new technology have to be developed, tested and matured to get into production. This new one will simply take already developed and matured technology from Su-57, so it will not take that long to go in production. Many things were tested in Su-57 and in S-70 Ohotnik...

    That.
    And what more, checked the oil prices lately ;-)?
    It functionally doubled this year.
    The same applies to gas, coal, and all the other energy sources.
    Imagine the condition of the Russian budget, they are swimming in cash.

    Mig will now have to really pull up their socks, but having competition usually spurs the best from somebody. I'm pretty sure we'll see the Mig-41 and a new light fighter from Mig in the very near future.

    From this picture, it could be clearly seen, that it has side air intakes and not under nose. I wonder if this is just mock up or actual prototype. Undercarriage and engine looks real.

    Between that pic and this one here showing the crease of the cover, it seems to have a very interesting inlet that starts at the top and wraps around the sides and back down below.  Very unique. Also, is the radome painted black?

    Su-57 technology and s-70 technology allows to create a smaller aircraft pretty fast.

    Most of the work was done and the design work was also done since years on lot of projects.

    You guys are too harsh on Mig. I'm pretty confident we'll at the very least see the Mig-41 very soon. Things are going to get very interesting from now on!

    We can only hope that the weapons bay is large enough to accomadate a decent size missile.

    One of the reason why I dislike the single engined "stealth" aircraft, that too powered by a relatively big engine like AL-series, is that the centreline internal weapons bay gets confined in length and volume.

    That's where a twin engined aircraft, powered by smaller RD-series, aircraft excel. Having a good long centreline weapons bay between the twin intake.

    That's my concern too. It'd suck if it could only hold 4 missiles internally because the engine takes up all the space.

    This can't be a prototype, at best will be a demonstrator with canabalized parts, Suckoi wasn't developing this 7/8 years ago.
    Is it STOL?
    Should be very close to Borisov desk plane
    Th e advantage of no horizontal stabilizer is in rcs?

    I think it's gonna look like that lmfs 3d artwork a couple of pages back, with an inlet like borisovs model.  Seems like the radome is smaller than the su57.  The vertical stabilisers look similar in size to su 57 when viewed from the side but look taller in the frontal shots, more like f22 stabilisers? Could just be the angle of the shots I guess. Wonder if it'll have similar features to su57.. Eots/dircm/cheek mounted radars etc. Seems like it doesn't have the serrated izd. 30 nozzle, so presumably has a al41f in it?

    Has to be some advantages from some angles when it comes to radar return. Horizontal stabiliser is a reflective surface. No surface present, no reflection possible. How much benefit? Who can say.

    If you fall for the "experts" view on the MiG and Kilmov, you are bound to believe that its all the fault of the MiG. Which it is not! I guess all those experts are either ignoring or not aware of the dirty work Sukhoi management have been doing all these decades to undermine almost all others OKBs to create a monopoly.

    Klimov is going nowhere. Allmost all the engines for rotary winged are designed by Klimov and so does the 3D TVC that we see on the RD and AL series. They are the pioneers in those and way back in 2004 those were rated for 500hours.

    Yes, it makes a lot of sense if Russia wants to have a new shipborne airplane for the future aircraft carriers in the 2030s.

    It will be necessary to see what is under the cover, but it reminds me one Yak.

    I can't imagine this to be a VTOL at all. Not saying that it could later be developed into one, but...no VTOL right there.

    I'll eat two chocolate cakes if it is! lol!

    Agree. We all expect new light fighter from MiG, but this one is from Sukhoi. It is interesting, that they keep it in secret and now made a total surprise. I think they hide this project with S-70 Ohotnik UCAV. The first prototype of Ohotnik have full engine with afterburner, although it will have stealth nozzle with engine without afterburner. Most probably it is prototype of Ohotnik and simultaneously testbed for new single engine fighter. So I agree, that this is real prototype. Considering how they keep it in secret, I would not be surprized if it already made its first flight. If it will fly in MAKS, that it absolutly made its first flight. That would be an epic surprise.
    Thanks for posting.
    I see lots of similarity in these two. The centre fuselage looks almost the same down to the undercarriages.
    Edit out those slanted vertical stabs and it would look like the S-70 rearend.

    Sort of like an S-70 with a cockpit, new wings, vertical stabs, re-routed intakes, etc.  Very Happy
    Most likely using a common platform for S-70 and this single-engined fighter.

    Turkey Twisted Evil
    As one already said, don't remember who, there are lots of countries who will equip in STOL capable LHDs in near future, so why the Russkies would not want to have something capable of grabbing a piece of cake?
    23900 are the next ones in mind, as far as Japan operates its own mini carriers with F-35 on board, and the Kuril issue is still on the table, I guess its own solution to this would be nice.
    Yes, that's my view as well. Russia need to have the Yak back to life and Turkey is the potential customer, having lost access to F-35. The other one could be China.
