Looks like an X wing fighter in that picture.

No stealth systems - easy meat for an AMRAAM. So much for that idea.

Forward-swept wings make for a very twitchy aircraft. Not very stable at high speeds, but can turn on a dime. Combined with vectored-thrust engines, this thing will be a dogfighter extraordinaire. Missles will have a hard time hitting it if they can be detected in time, because this thing will be able to out-turn them all day long.

Now that they've undoubtedly stolen the plans to the "Raptor,F-22", and seen it fly, the Russians now need to get to work builing a cheap knock-off.

In 1976 we looked at a SFW version of the F-16. Probably didn't have the computer technology advanced enough to assist in controlling the flight.

Russia has a fabled history of aircraft design.
I recall seeing the big bad bear while flying well above the artic circle in my KC-97....It was a fabulous long range recon aircraft of it's day.

I cannot believe they did not choose 1.42/1.44 as the platform. 1.42/1.44 was probably the only one that ever made it close to the abilities of F/A-22. Forward swept wings were thought to be not as attracting as it was to be for its ability. Well, I think they won't succeed that much with a fighter that may be too expensive.

5th generation? Hah! We're already on 7th generation. X-wing fighters? Forget it.
