Prototype of the future of Russia's fighter jet program, the PAK -FA (T-50) has made its first public flight at MAKS-2011 airshow. The Sukhoi-made plane took to the skies for a 8-minute show. The jet's said to be equipped with some of the most advance avionics on the planet. It will be able to land on short runways and fly in any weather. It can carry up to eight medium range or two long-range missiles in its two internal bays. The jet's first prototype performed its maiden flight last January, and carried out 36 test flights. The fifth generation fighter's expected to enter service in Russia in 2015. The price tag is estimated at US $100 million.

RUSSIAS FIRST STEALTH PLANE....NOW THEY ARE GOING TO WORK ON INDOOR PLUMBING

[socalguy24]

Wikipedia says its low observability but not "very-low," meaning not low enough to be stealth. Seems to think that eventually it will be. I'm thinking that US defense industry is figuring out now how to detect stealth given this risk. I think we should let 4 from each country fight. That would be badass.

for the america are the best. this prototype is not equiped with vectorial thrust engine.but it will be...

FA T-50? Hmm, not that impressed for a stealth fighter. A couple slow barrel rolls and big loops...obviously not that agile. Stealth? that's a big plane! From the underside it's a big flat pancake. Not sure how stealth that would be. At least the MIG-35 has thrust vectoring.
