PAK -FA: Russians are back

PAK-FA is the acronym for Perspektivny aviatsionny kompleks frontovoy aviatsii
which the fifth generation fighter aircraft jointly produced by India and Russia.
It is the first fifth generation aircraft produced outside the United States and looks to be quite promising.
Here are some photographs and drawings of the PAK-FA.  When this bird is inducted into the Indian Air Force in 2017, a single one can probably take out a complete Pakistani Squadron. Bangladesh recently abandoned its quest for developing an air-force because the Indian Air Force is too strong. Induction of 220 Su-50s and the indigenous MCA might probably do the same for the Pakistani Air Force.
