Just a weird observation-viewed from the front, it looks like they took the Su-27's engine intakes and nacelles and twisted them sideways to lay flat under the new wing arrangement. Might this design have more to do with the Su-27 series than we might think? If you were to really stealth up a FLANKER, you'd get something very similar to this.
Anyway, good to see it in the air. Remember when the 1.44 finally flew and all we got were some grainy images? This is very different, and demonstrates the increased openness to an extent of Russian aviation.
