Russia Unveils "Checkmate" Fighter--LCD Is Unimpressed

The Checkmate.

LCD discussion.

Bonus Binkov.

I thought the same thing as several commenters: (a) Seems like nothing more than a mock-up, and (b) even if it works and even if it's good, Russia will probably never make it. If they do, they won't be able to make many of 'em. That's just how they roll...

Incidentally and obviously: thing looks like somebody put an F-16, an F-35, an X-32, and maybe a dash of Raptor together into a malfunctioning transporter.
