It's pretty brilliant I think, assuming it's not some sort of maskirovka. They're using a lot of the PAK-FA production line to now build two aircraft. That offers a lot of advantages in terms of production line training, capacity and redundancy as well as simplifying a lot of their supply chain as well. They've standardized engines, wings, sensors, vertical stabs, cockpits and any number of other doodads under the skin. They get a high-low mix based on re-mixing essentially all the same parts.


We'll have to see how it plays out of course, but it seems like a pretty smart move to me.
