Cute. Is it any good?
It has a lot of wing!
Modern Russian and Chinese fighters (SU-27 onwards) seem optimised for low speed turning fights.
Are they still applying the wrong lessons from Vietnam or are their long range missiles a bit bobbins?

What a handsome looking machine! "If it looks right, it (usually!) flies right!"
Last I read, recent generation Russian missiles were far from 'Bobbins' - rather quite good I seem to recall.
