I saw "Last response by MOAB, 25 seconds ago" and knew I had been defeated . Dammit, how could I not spot a sukhoi? Even without the markings. Back to the plane books. Isnt the T-50 The raptor "copy"?M.O.A.B wrote:

Isn't that the junk that is trying to compete with the F22?User007Gamer wrote:
Nice one, MOAB. It is indeed the Sukhoi PAK-FA, also known as the T-50.

Yup
Could be, J-XX is just a general term for a number of Fifth-Gen Chinese fighter designs at the moment.pace51 wrote:

I didn't say it looked like the raptor.User007Gamer wrote:
Well, I'd hardly call the T-50 'junk'. Give it a five or six more years and when it goes into service it will probably be on par with the F-22. Believe me, the Russians aren't stupid when it comes to planes. As for looking like a Raptor, any 'conventional' fifth-gen fighter you try to design will end up looking somewhat like one. Unless of course, you take a completely radical approach like they did with the YF-23. But in my honest opinion, the T-50 looks nothing like a Raptor.
Edit: @MOAB's post - Isn't that the Mikoyan 1.44?
Tbh for somewhere like Russia, nailing stealth on their new aircraft would be fairly simple.-Sh1fty- wrote:

I doubt they'll reach the US's stealth capabilities. Not for quite some time at least.
