Just remember those two images cost the taxpayer millions... a comittee had to be formed, artwork design team, and lotsa pot smoked

The PAK FA has only 2 prototypes flying, but it has shown that the Russians (read Ukranians) are capable of building a world class fighter.

The internal weapons bay is massive as well as having 4 wing pylons, plus two smaller bays for short range missiles. Internal gun, IRST, fixed radar which will be installed in the wing leading edge, sideways looking radar in the nose as well as the normal forward looking radar in nose.

The bays can be seen here between the engines....
The smaller short range missile bays are the long blisters under the wings right next to the air intakes
