I don't want you to get laughed at, because from all the information available, most experts would agree the J20 and F22 are cleaner than the T50.
The T50 craftsmanship is way behind that of J20 and F22. Just look at the rivets on the surface T50, you can see it is not as smooth and not as stealthy.
"Unlike the F-22, which uses stealth technology, 85 percent of the surface of Russian T-50 is covered with unique nanotechnological materials that decrease both the visibility of the plane and the air drag. The technical specifications of the missiles for the jet exceed the analogues of the US aircraft. In addition, the T-50 can fire the missiles hidden in internal departments at hypersonic speed. The US fifth-generation aircraft can not do this and has to decelerate for the purpose. "
I don't believe it at all, based on existing information. Articles like this wants to downplay Chinese design capabilities. They were stunned by Chinese rapidly rising indigenous plane design capabilities and the effectiveness of the J20 plane.
It is kind of funny, that when the J20 first appeared, some pundits claimed they learned from F117. Then some people claimed the J20 looks like the F22. Now this new Mikoyan claim.
The Russians will not sell any stealth plane design to China, since the Russians do not want China to export to other countries.
From Russian's perspective, they can make more money exporting planes than selling the design.
Now with this new J20, China can make more money exporting the planes. The Russian are jealous about this.
According to the existing information, the T-50 has an uneven underside, with lots of radar reflections.
The engine fan blades are over exposed. The air intake with no engine blade blocker.
The new F-18 already has blockers in place which helps a bit, but still reflect back to the radar.
So the T-50 is just a Su-27 with partial stealth, not as good as of J-20 and F-22 at all.
