I thought I'd never see the day! Looks cool (not suprisingly a lot like the F-22). I can't wait for more pictures/videos.

I disagree with you.
It is actually more similar to the YF-23 than the F-22.
Here is a video :)

Yeah, I can see the YF-23 but I was using operational aircraft as a comparison.
From all that I read, most 'experts' feel the Russians 'fell short' in their attempts to make this plane a TRUE Stealth aircraft. Apparently it's RCS is nearly the same as the Su-27 based aircraft and it does not appear to have any serrated edges on it's weapons doors/landing gear doors/etc. There is also concern about the intakes and bottom fuselage presenting noticeable 'returns'.
Do you know if this plane used the 117S engines or the original version of the AL-41? Last I heard the 117S (AL-41F1A) wasn't close to operational yet.
