“...big fat engine nozzels in the back...those are missile vacuums...”
LOL! Nice observation on your part.
I’m not an aeronautical engineer, but I said the same exact thing about the vaunted Chinese “stealth fighter” (or bomber?) when the pics were posted on FR back in December 2010.

I remember that discussion thread. Someone made the point that the Chinese airframe may have been a test bed for certain stealthy components; that they knew full well that other parts -- like the engine air intakes and exhaust nozzles -- were not stealthy, and that they would come along later. I thought that was a good thought.
My observation would be this: look at the pictures of the Chinese and Russian stealth aircraft. The parts that are obviously not "stealthy" are a map of what elements their espionage assets have been tasked to get from us.
