Actually, it is. Do check the photographs of Russian air force combat aircraft even today. While Russia acknowledged and eliminated all Soviet symbols from day to day affairs, it retained its Soviet symbols in aviation, both civil and military.after Collapse of soviet union Russian's r nt using Red Star
If anything, the EU/American arms embargo has been a blessing in disguise for China. During the 1970's to late 1980's, there were many naive decision makers in the Chinese government that thought modernization can be brought on by purchasing weapons from the West. This experience taught the Chinese that self-reliance is the only way forward. Only fools would start buying from EU/American again.with Possible lift of EU arms ban this year it will mature swiftly.
The T-50 has a single piece canopy like the F-22 in development. Also, remember just b/c the J-20 has a single piece doesn't mean that a whole lot, who knows how well it will work out. Also the Russians most likely will have something better. Like you said the T-50-1 is a prototype, its just confirming the flight characteristics of the plane it also has the bare minimum in terms of avionics. The second flying prototype is supposed to have some changes and will fly in feb-march with more avionics installed but the third flying prototype is supposed to be much different' from the first two, its supposed to have the AESA radar installed on it.xuwei..I said T-50 is a prototype, it will go through tests and trials during its phase of development.
Now that J-20 has come to the scene, I believe Russians are going to bring in considerable many changes to T-50. The only thing I am thinking about is the Airframe finishing even the prototype of J-20 has sort of single piece frame somewhat similar to F-35/F-22 while T-50 has a crude finish.
Actually, the pace of Chinese developments is so swift that i believe they don't need the Europeans anymore, on the contrary, Europeans do need China.

Haha China has no embargo against Europe. Maybe we will sell them a watered down version of J-20...
And I dont think Americans will allow it. Nor will the Russians.
how? will Russia or US attack China for this? or they "will stop their components" being used in J-20 dont base your claims on empty air
???????????? how? simply how?Well I meant in the sales department by putting more pressure on the governments based on diplomatic efforts. And would you be happy to let go of one of your biggest customers?
Everyone is, but look at the growing impact of China in developing countries and in Europe. If China provides them with a quality product than US at that too at lower price tag, there would be no reason to go for an equilent costlier US productI dont think so. the US is over-protective about its present and future markets.
So Russia has an option to increase its number and thus bleed more for staying competitive.Russia n the other hand will be threatened by the massive air power build up n Europe that threatens its own security and remember the J 20 is still flying on Russian engines.

Can China provide something as competitive as F 22? I think it will take atleast a decade for the J 20 to prove itself and iron out all the production and reliability issues. By that time the F 35 and PAK-FA would have entered the export scenario.
Remember. Russia and US hold more strategic grounds and energy resources than China has right now. So J 20 sales pitch to Europe is kinda far fetched right now. And China has not yet declared J 20 is for sale!
