As for the limited optical visibility, experts largely attribute it to use of metamaterials and so-called “e-camouflage” in the more recent versions of the PAK FA.

Is this for real?
T-50 can do it all.
A cloaking device?
Couldn't I see you with IRST?
It would be nice in a dog fight. Even if it only gave me a few seconds.
I don't know. Read it your self. You tell me. Thanks.

Any likely Optical tricks in the future, would likely not be the same as being IR-resistant, no. (or a good next-gen MLD with built-in cockpit display capabilities, or displaying to an HMD for that matter).

That's what I thought. Neet trick but only if the bad guys can't see you with something else. I'm new here, but have been reading [Link pending approval]'s forums for some time. There's a lot of know how in these forums if you know who to listen to. Thanks for your feed back.

T-50 e-camouflage? limited optical visibility? Really?
