flanker said:You forgot about the newest frame Deino, T-50-6-2. He is almost certainly talking about T-50-8, with it being ninth he is probably counting the 6 flying as of now (1, 2, 3, 4, 5R, 6-2) and the two static frames -0 and -7. Ignoring KNS and that 5 and 5R are different aircraft, but whatever.
It is unclear what he said anyway. RIA and Zvezda has very different transcripts for the exact same line.

Testfitted new missiles in the past few days, fit very well into the bay. And the inner fueltank is a very good fit too. Soon it will fly.
flanker said:Yes to all of the above. From an insider who works at LIS at KnAAZ;

Not entirely sure what he means re fueltank, sounds like there can be one placed instead of missiles inside of the main bays? Asked for clarification.
