There is no advantage of 5th generation, 6th or 7th generation fighter........ There is no chance of war, but even if war happens,,, These are just like garbage in nuclear war scenerio...
This is not 1971, 1965 or 1984....

Stop polluting the thread with off topic crap.

I'm still checking different pics and sources about the weapon bays, be it wrt to the dept, or the length (if it would have any advantages to have a single weapon bay or not). I still think that the front bay is deeper and would actually offer more space for weapons than currently speculated, but unlike my earlier comparisons to the YF23, I realised that the air intakes will be a limiting factor:

The bay doors simply can't be opened that much, as it is the case for the YF23, or F35, that means you the missiles at the doors would block any load that is attached above. In A2A that still might make sense with 5 x R77 for example.


Another point that caught my interest is are the external so called SR missile bays. If they really are meant for RVV-MDs, why would the Sukhoi designers limit the fighter only to 2 missiles, if there is more than enough space left behind the bays for more?

For AAMs the huge size of the T50 offer a lot of options and it will be interesting to see, how the final layout might be.

when will pak-fa open its weapon bay? T-50-6?

The later debuted J-20 opened up all its bays already....cannot wait to see pakfa's.


In common sense, sukhoi should have some difficulties about the bay.

New paint job, supposedly dark bottom and light top. Sukhoi is keeping the tradition of god awful, appallingly gross and plainly retarded paint schemes.

let's see, they have the smurf green, the top black bottom smurf, multiple blues, gloss black (stupid), and the funky hipster pak-fa with two tone grey and a big white blob in the middle.

Whoever comes up with these paint combos should be arrested.

Here it is:

Ugly, but as I expected with the darker color on the top.

Sure, or that they (unlike Chinese manufacturers) have different fighter types to test techs of Pak fa. Weapon bays are under testing for years on the Su 47 for example, radar and engines will be tested simultaneously on Su 35s as well. The T50s on the other hand show a clear learning / testing curve, T51 was and is mainly for aerodynamical tests, later prototypes had added optical sensors, then came radar tests...while the last one had aerodynamical changes based on the lessons learned so far, added DRICM sensors for tests and we now heared that there will be 2 T55s and that one will make first RCS tests. So all in all, the testing seems to go quiet well. Btw, there were no surprises at the J20 weapon bays, while we still can only speculate on the capacity, let alone the numbers of weapon bays for the T50, it simply leaves so many options.

I kinda like the new scheme compared to the older one.

 

[DANGER-ZONE]

Ewwww .... Looks Weird.
They should have paint it Su-35 style, complete dark gray top with light sky blue bottom and light gray nose. This scheme looks aweful.
