Now that I look for it there are plenty of pics of 055 & 054 with the tailcone one.
055 has it on the lerx flaps too.
Couldn't find any identifiable as 051/052/053 with the tailcone sign.

Radiation sign next to the side radars & on the tail-cone, is this the first with those mounted?
I don't want to dig around, but supposedly the other prototypes had the full radar suite, just not all the stickers.

Not full no. L-band was planned to be fitted to -8, but it hasnt been fitted prior to that.
You missed one quite large mod zg18. There is bunch of smaller ones too.

Don't know with 100% certainty - but probably. Not complete L-402 tho, T-50-8 is supposed to get L-band and a more complete L-402. T-50-9 *should* have complete package of all the avionics and equipment.
Yes, i was hinting to stinger, and yes the whole plane is covered in RAM.
May it is better to say the whole plane except the new engine cover?

Also, I think RAM is missing in some places, it's definitly not on the engine cowlings and some other places.
Now we wait for the Phase 2 prototypes, didn't some official say it would look similar but have some huge changes?

Paint =/= RAM. They first coat RAM then paint it all. So RAM might as well be pink underneath the paint. RAM is medium gray in color.

I am aware, however i somehow expected them to keep RAM layer visible on later prototypes to make it easier for maintenance. Or actual surface "colored" paint has part in preserving RAM paint underneath?

And 6-2 IS Phase 2. The designation is kinda of a give away.
So , now all new prototypes would be phase 2?Berkut wrote:Yes.

And ezactly what are the differences? Initially it was thought that phase 2 would be the one with objekt 30 engines but this is not the case anymore.
So it would encompass structural changes, new materials and/or what other?
And the new engines would be installed on what prototype?
