Have some links?

I would like to think we are ahead, but hard data (or pointers to hard data) are a lot more satisfying...

I look to milcraft experts here at FR to help me. I am an affectionado of milcraft and study them judiciously. But many here actually have flown or have studied harder than I.

But I do think I can reason to logical conclusions...

Sure, here's a link to the forum I was following in the heady days leading up to the first flight. The thread's pretty much degenerated into a picture/rambling fest by now, but pages 170-220 or so contain some decent stuff that sounds valid to me. I'm simply a casual aficionado, however.

However, the PAK FA has a great deal of differences from the F-22 among which are 3d TVC and movable LERX. Additionally, both the horizontal and vertical stabilizers are movable. While the airframe, as it stands, is very unstealthy from the rear (not unlike the F-35), from the frontal aspect, the spherical OLS is the only incongruous part, and that can probably be fixed.

Also, here’s the APA article I think is being referenced.
