Now the big question is will the Russian military actually be able to afford to buy any?
The good news is this will probably force Congress to get rid of the export restriction on the F-22 since the Russians are certainly going to export their version and we can't have our allies being out gunned by places like Malaysia.

This one looks better I think, but I guess they had to go with tried and tested designs:

The Sukhoi T-50's flight comes nearly two decades after the first prototype of the U.S. F-22 Raptor took to the air... They let us work most of the bugs out before they steal the plans.

The diagram looks nothing like the actual picture.
The vertical stablizers are splayed like the F-22 and the fuselage is rounded on the top. In the diagram they are not.

Hmmmm. It looks as if the CCCP spies are still at work

Even first line Russian aircraft have a bad reputation for poor quality, unreliability, and expensive maintenance. Russia’s defense industrial base is aging in both equipment and personnel, which makes quality and steady production rates implausible.

That was first generation stealth - the F-117A. Technology has come a long way since then - and if it's going to compete with the F-22 Raptor, it had better be way better than the F-117.
Not that it is impossible or even unlikely that the Russians saw the F-117 downed in Serbia, but there were strong rumors that the Chinese had possession of some of the key technology and were evaluating it at their embassy. That's why we accidently bombed the Chinese Embassy in Belgrade.
Who knows....stranger things have happened.

With the moon mission getting canceled and the F-22 getting canceled, you’d think we could save a bundle and cancel the failed V-22 already. Or do we only cancel the good stuff?
