Can't wait to see this jet :)

But those engines look like ordinary non-stealthy Su-35 engines don't they?

There is a lot more non-stealthy about it:
- rivets
- paint (I always thought the paint was very special and could not be touched with bare hands, the Russians seem to think otherwise)
- external weaponry, this one doesn´t seem to have much ability to carry weapons inside

But than again, who cares about stealth, that will be out of date soon enough anyway :wink:
