According Paralay T-50 can carry only 4 missiles in belly bays, that's the penalty for having so flat fuselage.

Your information is wrong. Also Don't you think it depends on weapon that it is carrying ?

Read about the armament from this pic :

Who made that?

That's one of the speculations so far, but there is no official statement about it and nobody really knows it yet. However, I highly doubt it, because as you can see in that graphic itself, the AAMs in the front bay are bigger sized missiles with longer range, which means that at least that bay must be deeper to house bigger weapons. The rear bay instead might be aimed on normal AAMs only, R77 or Astra like and since they are smaller, they can be fitted in higher numbers side by side, 3 x AAMs I would say but many graphics shows even 4 of them:

Who made that?

That's from an Russian aerospace magazin, with one of the earliest reports about it, but still before the T50 was revealed, that's why it is not completely credible, but was one of the best estimations in that time.

I'll wait for official conformation before I take anything as definitive proof. Even if the pak-fa can hold six A2A weapons that will be adequate enough. You will seldomely if ever see professional Air Forces not fly in formations in hostile air averments, this means a flight of pak-fa's (lets say 6) will have a total of 36 A2A weapons. The A2A missiles the pak-fa will be using will also be new generation missiles with extremely high hit probabilities, and if needed the pak-fa can always switch to guns.

hey guys idk its already posted or not but i recently found out that the russians are putting plasma stealth technology in su-47 and may be they put it in FGFA too.
this will be slightly different from the other plasma stealth models as this will use a plasma torch to envelop the fighter at the time of take off and keep it covered through out the flight.
the working is that the radar waves striking it will lose its property to go back and give radar an incoming signal. its universal and not direction specific means uniform stealth in all directions. this is way superior and complex than f-22 stealth which uses RAM coating and geometry to counter radar threat.

its sure for su47 but on table for fgfa

FGFA and PakFa is just one and the same with some additional indian, israeli and french components. I mean earlier we thought FGFA will be twin seat now i doubt it because majority of 5th gen that IAF is inducting are single seater. May be we are mostly inducting PakFa and a couple squadron of FGFA. There's alot that is unclear here.

Third PAK-FA Prototype is ready to fly​

MOSCOW, October 27 - RIA Novosti. Komsomolsk-on-Amur Aviation Industrial Association (KnAAPO) completes the preparation for flight tests of the third sample was a fifth generation fighter T-50 (PAK FA), told RIA Novosti on Thursday, a source in the military-industrial complex.

"Preparatory work is completed on the third flight model of the fifth generation fighter. He is almost ready to climb into the sky. It remains to work out of an airplane. He takes off, when designers are fully confident in the product "- a spokesman said.

The source did not specify in what time frame is expected to start flight tests of a prototype aircraft, but added that at the present time the company completes the fourth sample PAK FA.

"Compiling a fourth sample is in the final phase. Now comes the testing of design "- added the official.

Source reminded of an incident at MAKS-2011, when, in August the aircraft for technical reasons, stopped off, throwing the drag chute. As the cause of the incident media called "the failure of the power plant automation."

"The incident at the air show had no effect on the course of test aircraft. It was working, technical issue that could occur during testing of any aircraft. The timing for the airline no gaps, all goes as planned, "- said the source.

The Russian fifth generation fighter T-50 (PAK FA) must be received by the Air Force in 2016. Flight tests took place only two samples of the PAK FA. President of the United Aircraft Corporation, Mikhail Pogosyan reported that plans to raise in the sky are two fifth-generation fighter to the end of the year.

Today T-50 conducted it's 100th test flight.

Today T-50 conducted it's 100th test flight.

T-50 did it in 21 months while it took 31 months for F-35.........looks like someone was keeping tabs on these figures

Twenty-one months after first flight at Komsomolsk-on-Amur in Siberia, the Sukhoi T-50 PAK-FA fleet recorded its 100th flight on 3 November.

For perspective, the Lockheed Martin F-35 programme needed 31 months from the first take-off by the AA-1 test aircraft to pass the 100th flight mark.

In that 21-month period, the PAK-FA test fleet has already performed a private air show for Prime Minister Vladimir Putin and made its first official public appearance at the MAKS air show near Moscow. The latter event was marred by an engine blow-out on take-off.

Meanwhile, Russia has been busy on the export front. Rosoboronexport signed a deal with India to develop a new single- and twin-seat variant called FGFA. Sukhoi also offered the PAK-FA to South Korea for the F-XIII contract, but the Russia delegation curiously was absent at the Seoul Air Show last month.

The Russian Air Force has announced plans to receive the first production aircraft in 2013, and to introduce the PAK-FA into operational service two years later.
