My back-channel connections (read: FReepers who know these things) tell me the T-50 is a bad imitation of the F-22 and is burdened with a bad weight-to-thrust ratio.
Or so I have heard...
I agree with you. It does.

I hope you guys are right this could be a game changer.
I’d at least check some forums with a more specific military orientation before dismissing the PAK FA totally out of hand. First off, it’s really not close to an imitation of the F-22—unless you’re going to claim that seeking a low RCS is a sign of F-22 imitation. Additionally, I really doubt that that anyone has the foggiest idea of it’s thrust-to-weight ratio. After all, the prototype isn’t even fitted with the engines that are going to be used in the production version.
