I wonder if it has the stealthiness and advanced avionics to match the Raptor.
It looks to me that it's designed to take on the Eurofighter Typhoons....same basic design (delta with canards) with some deviation at the rear.
I'd love to see this plane side by side with a Typhoon. The Russian jet looks massive and bulky, while the Typhoon looks sleek and agile.
Don't misunderstand me though...the 1.44 is a very cool looking plane, and I've thought of scratch building one a few times.
