The second flying Phase II PAK FA Prototype, T-50-8-2 during flight testing in Zhukovsky.
The 8th prototype will be primarily used for testing the aerodynamics, airframe and flight characteristics taking over the T-50-1 and T-50-2 while weapon testing can be expected to be conducted on other aircraft.
The remaining Phase II air frames, -09, -10, -11 and -12 will then be followed by the T-50S-1

Panel on Indo-Russian fighter gets an extension
A high-power, five-member committee is closely examining the multi-billion dollar programme for the joint development of the Fifth Generation Fighter Aircraft (FGFA) with Russia. The committee will submit its report by May 15, a senior official told The Hindu. The committee was set up in January this year with a three-month term and was tasked with taking a detailed look at the cost and the extent of technology transfer that India would get. Its term has now been extended by a month, the official said. Among several issues, the committee will take a critical look at the actual technology transfer that India stands to gain thorough the deal. “We are assembling 272 Su-30s, which have only 56% indigenous content. In the FGFA, we should get full technology, not just the know-how but also the know-why so that we can do future upgrades and support here,” he said. No final contract In 2010 India and Russia signed a preliminary design agreement to jointly produce the FGFA for use by both countries, after which each invested $295 million for preliminary design which was completed in 2013. Since then, despite several rounds of discussions, the two countries have failed to reach an understanding over the final contract.

After years of delay, India and Russia are likely to soon ink a "milestone" pact to finalise the detailed design for the fifth-generation fighter aircraft (FGFA) and move ahead with the multi-billion dollar co- development project.
“The contract for the detailed design would be signed soon and that will be a major milestone. It should be signed in the second half of the year,” a top official involved in the negotiations with Russia on the project said.
Asked whether India has linked the project to full-scale transfer of technology, the official, who requested anonymity, said both the countries are co-developers and India will have equal rights over the the technology.
“We are co-developers. There is nothing called technology transfer in this project. India has equal rights. We will have the wherewithal to continue production. We are equal partner in the project,” he said.
In the negotiations for the project, India had insisted that it must get all the required codes and access to critical technology so that it can upgrade the aircraft as per its requirements.
After years of delay, India and Russia are likely to soon ink a "milestone" pact to finalise the detailed design for the fifth-generation fighter aircraft (FGFA) and move ahead with the multi-billion dollar co- development project.
In February last year, India and Russia had revived talks on the project after a clearance from then Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar.
Since then, a lot of issues related to work share, IPR and technology transfer among others have been sorted out between the two sides, along with the monetary commitments.
In 2007, India and Russia had inked an inter-governmental pact for the FGFA project.
In December 2010, India had agreed to pay USD 295 million towards the preliminary design of the fighter, which is called in India as the ‘Perspective Multi-role Fighter’ (PMF). However, negotiations faced various hurdles in the subsequent years.
Sources said the work on various co-development projects have been expedited following the government’s renewed focus on modernisation of the armed forces.
In March, India and Russia had signed two key agreements for long-term maintenance and technical support for Russian- made Su-30MKI fighter jets of the Indian Air Force.
Currently, the IAF operates around 230 Su-30MKI fighter jets and, as per the agreements, Russian defence majors United Aircraft Corporation and the United Engine Corporation will render technical support and provide maintenance services and spares for the fleet for a period of five years.

I have lost track of how many deals are signed on this aircraft and every time they say its final. I will believe when I see pic of first prototype in the making.

I would graciously welcome any reliable source to disprove my assertion and clear my ignorance. I would edit my post and give you the credit.

70 jf 17s have been delivered to PAF. A few more are being built for export. Yet, you are still indulging yourself with Indian preferred terms like IOC and FOC.
