New Russian/Indian Fighter T-50

So what do you guys think? On par with the F-22? Doesn't look all that stealthy to me, a lot of angles and it doesn't look like the exhaust is very well shielded.

A make believe by the looks of it. Don't get me wrong, I hate the F-22; its just this is the bastard child of an Su-27 and F-22.

Oh and see how stealthy it is when its carrying a payload of anything above guns. It doesn't look to have hidden missile bays - thats about as stealthy as Pippa Middleton in the Royal Wedding.

It does have internal weapons bays and looks rather impressive to me, maybe not as stealthy as a F22 but when you consider how much cheaper to buy it will be, cheaper than a F-35 also, it looks very good value. It has the beefy landing gear needed for carrier landings so it wouldn't take much converting to a naval version, So you really have to compare it to the Super Hornet too and the performance gap there will be huge.

I can kind of imagine a country like Australia ;who have been unable to buy F-22's and stuck with the awful super hornet instead untill the F-35 limps into service; secretly wishing they could drop their western tech for the T-50.
