When is the first prototype gonna land in India, I thought was this year.
Send some chills in the neighbourhood
I'm still confused about FGFA/PAK-FA.
1. Is both the same project with different name, or FGFA is derivative from PAK-FA based on India requirement?
2. If Indonesia buy PAK-FA from Russia, will India get monetary benefit (from part manufacture, IP right, etc)? If not, can India independently sold FGFA to foreign buyer, competing with PAK-FA sales?
Pak Fa, Russian fighter according to their requirements. FGFA, jointly developed with more Indian requirements and jointly owned. If FGFA is sold we benefit, if Pak Fa is, we don't, just as we benefit if Brahmos is soled, but won't if the Yakhont P800 is.
Ahh thanks. Another question can India compete with Russia to sold FGFA to foreign buyer? For example if Indonesia open tender looking to buy 5'th gen fighter, can India compete with Russia to supply Indonesia?
So when we talk of work share percentage it is purely on FGFA? We don't have nothing to do with PAKFA ?even for the second batch with new engine? What about IP?Pak Fa, Russian fighter according to their requirements. FGFA, jointly developed with more Indian requirements and jointly owned.

Yes our share is limited to our version, the 2nd batch Pak Fa will however be pretty much the same with out FGFA, both single seat, both with the new engines and other modifcations. But until the next set of contracts is done, we don't know what Indian parts FGFA will have and if the some of them will be included into the 2nd Pak Fa too.
Essentially the FGFA is nothing more than the T-50I. So it would benefit the program if India simply takes deliveries of the standard Russian PAK-FA(just as it did with the Su-30MK) and then moves onto the "Indian" version. Would speed up training and logistics.
TRV completed testing Kh-58USHK for the PAK FA
Corporation "Tactical Missiles" (TEV) completes the state tests Kh-58USHK vnutrifyuzelyazhnyh placement. The missile is designed to equip the Russian perspective complex tactical aircraft (PAK FA), according to the Military Industrial Courier. As told to the international air show in China CEO Boris Obnosov TRV: "This is absolutely the latest product that has nothing to do with the old X-58, except for the index: it is twice shorter than the X-58 is equipped with a completely different homing. Just now finishing its state tests, including test launches with prototypes of T-50. " According to the head of the corporation, the PAK FA "is the only Russian platform, equipped with anti-radar missiles vnutrifyuzelyazhnyh placement." But it can be mounted on the external hardpoints, said Obnosov.Takzhe Corporation successfully continues to work on the X-74m2 - another new missile, "designed to equip fighter T-50 in the first step," he said. "On the PAK FA will be completely new weapons, - said CEO TRV. - We present here only our new missiles, but not all.
What is its range?
from under wing suspension points, km 76 to 245
According to manufacturer homepage:
Tactical Missiles Corporation JSC
But from the internal weapon bays, the aim should be to get closer to give low reaction time for the target and not to launch at maximum range.
