The first PAK-FA prototype, also known as aircraft T-50-1, was unveiled 18 months ago and performed its first flight on 29 January 2010.
Seoul is also likely to launch an indigenous KF-X fighter development programme in collaboration with Indonesia.
A variant of the PAK-FA is also being considered by India through a fifth-generation fighter aircraft programme jointly pursued with Russia.
