They flew 20 years ago, so....
Thx, so there are two in the belly. Interesting!
That looks mean from the top down (best view IMO). She has some killer angles from the intakes and wings. congrats to the designers, builders, pilot and crew. Crazy.
Leave your nationalism out of this. Me and others call it as we see it and not to be spiteful.
To me the initial impression is that it looks similar to previous MiGs and SUs. Like someone trying to keep up on a budget. If you see it in a different way that's fine with me.
This plane is a disappointment, although I didn't expected much from Russia given their budget problems.
this thread is gonna see a lot of action the next 24 hours. So whats the next step, they gonna push its limits see what it can do in the air? or some redesigns of certain parts etc.
No offence but Eurofighter looks more futuristic than this, just look at that 3rd gen ala F-14 engine placement on pak fa.

Congrats Sukhoi! It's always nice to see when new aircrafts are in their element for the very first time.
I'm a bit disappointed with its look though, and would rather go for the blond TV chick in one of the first youtube vids.
Relax guys it's the first flying prototype. It not finish version.
what did you expect? a TIE-Fighter?
of course its the Russian version it aint gonna get much better unless they can get a lil closer to Lockheed and Northrup hangers
oh welcome! an F-22 pilot!
I lol @ your blindness troll.
Anyhoo congrats on getting the plane up. Always an important step. First impressions are good it looks like what it should in most parts. Some positive points it looks like a very strong solid airframe, larger than I expected with a flat overall looking shape which is good. Good size payload bay. Some more negitive points tho those intakes are huge good luck in not getting any fod down there ! Those fin sections are too disproportionate to the rest of the airframe. Much too small in my eyes. The rear of the aircraft is in need of a bit of change I think the rcs and heat sig of the rear is prob not on par of the f22 its too su 27 looking at the rear not thats thats bad I just dont think it would be as stealthy at the rear. Overall its a nice airframe.
