Russia will complete development of advanced tactical air-launched missile systems for the Sukhoi T-50 fifth-generation fighter within the next two years.
Looks like the T-50 is running on time.

I have also read that they plan to aquire more one-seaters.
Makes sense, because they have enough Su-30s and other non-stealth planes to act as bombers (once the enemy threat has been cleared), and would use the stealth fighters in the air superiority role, with possible single strikes on SAM and radar installations and other defended high value targets, in the opening phase of a hypothetical war.

From the interview what i can make out is they are planning to use RVV-MD and RVV-SD as A2A missile for PAK-FA but from what i have read before PAK-FA will have a new class of A2A missile , Id 300 as WVR and BVR missile will be Ramjet R-77 and R-77M.
Do we have an idea yet of how two seat PAKFA will look like? Has there been official concepts out yet ?
edit: will it be side side like su34 or behind like normal jet ?
