Available images of the prototype which may differ from the final production version.With the current testing phase prototypes may not necessary have the full VLO treatment like RAM coatings which is not needed when performing non-stealth related tests like weapons integration and may lead to falsely optimistic conclusions by Western defense analysts.

But RAM pannels do contribute towards weight of the aircraft,which inturn cause shift in centre of gravity.
