PAK-FA Secrets Via YouTube

From Ares/Aviation Week:

Just popped up on YouTube, a couple of interesting T-50 videos. The first is an overview of some of the technologies involved in the aircraft.

Noteworthy points: the video highlights a new honyecomb core material designed for high temperatures. It also states that the T-50 will have no fewer than five radar arrays: the 1500-module forward active electronically scanned array (AESA), two side-facing X-band sub-arrays and two "decimetric" (L-band) arrays in the leading-edge root extensions. It also states that the goal is to fight the F-22 by closing within visual range.

My Comment: I am mesmerized that this is now in the public domain. Wow .... you cannot keep a secret anymore.
