Could be two engines there?

Is it confirmed a combat aircraft? From the pilots in the video indeed looks like it is, the reference to UAE is promising given the MoU that they signed for the development of a light fighter... interesting indeed. The shadow on the water looks like a MiG-35 to me.

We will see, I hope that we are not disappointed with some dull announcement after all the hype...

Stealthflanker saw this interesting patch in the video:

Is there any kind of confirmation of that?

In fact it looks very similar to McDonnell-Douglas' entry for JSF, at least the plant view. Does it have anything to do with the real thing? ...we will see

Has a bit of Yak-43 in there perhaps?

The question is whether they will present a mock-up or a flying prototype. If a prototype, it would be a big surprise.

good, but the fact is that anybody can make models in their garage. A real airplane that flies I see it difficult, among other things there will already be photos. This is a trade show, what is brought in for customers are finished products. Models are seen many and their value is close to zero wrote:

Yes, I know why if it is a flying prototype it will be a sensation. Models are also presented at MAKS and the model means nothing.

New Russian fighter to compete with US F-35 aircraft, says expert, 13.07.2021

According to the data available, the plane features low radar signatures in various bands, a high thrust to weight ratio, a large weapon payload, and advanced air-launched armaments.

MOSCOW, July 13. /TASS/. The latest combat plane that Russia will unveil on the first day of the MAKS-2021 aerospace show will rival the US fifth-generation F-35 aircraft, Executive Director of Aviaport Aviation News Agency Oleg Panteleyev said on Tuesday.

"The teasers in English and the regions that the pilots presented in a video released by Rostec [state tech corporation] suggest that the domestic light fighter will be in competition with the US F-35 aircraft on foreign markets. I am certain that the fighter’s demonstration at the MAKS-2021 will create a wow effect. It is not accidental that [Russia’s state arms exporter] Rosoboronexport has invited over 120 delegations from 65 countries of the world to the aerospace show," he said.

Little is known about the plane’s performance characteristics so far, the expert pointed out. According to the data available, the latest fighter features low radar signatures in various bands, a high thrust to weight ratio, a large weapon payload and advanced air-launched armaments, the expert pointed out.

"There is no doubt that in this decade Russia will be able to restore the tandem of breakthrough aircraft platforms: the heavy Su-57 [fifth-generation fighter] and a new light plane designed to cope with tactical assignments," the expert said.

The Rostec press office announced earlier on Tuesday that Russia’s United Aircraft Corporation (UAC, part of Rostec) would feature a fundamentally new military plane on the first day of the MAKS-2021 international aerospace show in the town of Zhukovsky near Moscow. The project's official website was also unveiled, with a midnight countdown to the plane's July 20 premiere.

As a source in the domestic aircraft-building industry told TASS in the spring of this year, the Sukhoi Aircraft Company (part of the United Aircraft Corporation) is developing the first Russian single-engine light tactical fighter with supersonic speed capability and low radar signature.
