Well well well..
The Second T-50-2 prototype first flight.
The third will feature an pre-production AESA radar for testing.
The T-50-4 will feature a full serial prod AESA radar and full mission suite for tests.

Anyway, without further ranting.. here is the vid:

Exellent shooting by Konstatin.
The latest Flanker at MAKS 2009.
The first batch of these Su-35S are very close enter service.
It has many of the same sub-systems with the Pak-Fa.
Su-35S Engines is rated 2*14.500kgf of thrust.
Pak-Fa prototype engines is rated 2*15.200kgf.

I love the SU-27 series! Probably the best looking modern aircraft! The T-50 looks bad ass!

Yeah, but have you seen the F-22, those darn Americans copied the ailerons from the French. And they ripped off the jet engine from some guy called Whittle!

@Tom.

Going about your own logic here, the F-22 share lots of the same layout(inspiration?) from the F-15C design layout.
And accidently the F-15C does have lots of similarities of the earlier Mig-25 design. :lol:

The MAKS 2011 Airshow went about without any major accidents.
Thank god for that.

There was some small incidents with one of the T-50, having to abort Takeoff due to engine failure:
