nice bird.
How much will it end up costing, will it become available for export, and how capable will the export variant be?

Possibly 80 -100 million and yes there will be an export version, but even the capabilities of the actual version is unclear so far, so that will take some more time.

Sancho , Great video

2things that struck me immediately

At start of video - Nose size , superbly designed and space like f22 to house Niip- Masterpiece.
Lift during take off - So smooth when on a demo engine with lower thrust , just shows the shear power of 117s plant.

Hi Prateek, do you know what striked me? At 1:04 we can see TVC nozzels and as far as I remember the prototype that made the first flight didn't had this capability right?
But you are right the S 117 seems to be a great engine and I hope that we will get it with the MKI upgrade too.

^^^^^^
Yup , correct . I think it had more to do with testing of Flying control surfaces and nFCS onboard this machine . So might be possible this is the first time Nozzles were deviated .
LEVCONS/LERX are so huge , i never imagined them so huge , even covering front intakes part

Thanks, lets wait and see how the final varient will look, it's interesting because the prototype pak-fa was built before India joined the project, so it will be interesting how much influence the Indians will have on the pak-fa and it will also be interesting to see how much difference the fgfa will have to the pak-fa.

Engines smoke trail - Hardly see any trace during inflight
