In the opinion of the Engineering Center�s deputy director, the realization of this project will be less costly and simpler for Russia than the creation of a new fighter, inasmuch as all technical developments on the 1.44 airplane connected with the engine, aerodynamics, and primary airplane systems have not gone out of date. Only the avionics need be substituted, which have been developing rapidly in recent years. According to Andrey Karasev, a task to resume tests of the 1.44 airplane before the end of 2004 has been delivered to the Engineering Center.

To be serious though, good for them - they have produced some amazing aircraft, and this will probably contribute to their strong tradition. Plus it will give us endless Raptor vs. Mig 1.44 debates
