Methinks that people in Lockheed-Martin are jumping with joy as we speak.
Give the Russians some credit. There are similarities between this two aircraft, but T-50 is far from being simply a copy of YF-23.
Judging from the latest Igor's photo, there are 4 'doors' in lower hull. It would be cool to know if the R-37s could be carried there.
Not trying to be argumentative (though people tell me its natural gift I have) but, supposing all goes to plan of course, I would think it would be more likely to sell better than the Lockheed alternative. If only because Sukhoi wont be squeamish about exports and they tend to be a lot cheaper. In this area the 'similarities' might well prove an asset.
In fact if these measures are not adopted as standard on every Typhoon built we deserve everything we get.
Su-47 Berkut was build only as a experimental aircraft and technology demonstrator similar as the German-American X-31. It wasn't intended to enter series production.
