Just a little something I had for a while that I wanted to post, since I’m mostly inactive due to school.

Backstory:
The PAK FA program was a success. Russia was finally building new fighters after learning of the American ATF and JSF programs. But, after some thought, it was deemed that the Su-57 was too large without folding wings for carrier operations, and that it would not be suitable for ground attack missions that required stealth. So, rather than making newer versions of the Su-57 for the navy, like the US had with their JSF program, they would instead work on a new aircraft. It was deemed that Sukhoi, with their preexisting knowledge on stealth aircraft, would head this program. Work began on a model and a prototype, thus developing the T-60 Block 1. Early testing had issues, however, specifically in the propulsion department. The first prototypes were grossly underpowered, and often times the engine would spontaneously combust, especially during catapult hookup testing. After many improvements, Sukhoi released their final model of the T-60 program, the Su-67, around late 2025.

Grouping:
1 - Wing Folding: VTOL
3 - “Refueling” Probe: VTOL UP
4 - Cockpit Night lights
7 - 3D, 3 Axis Thrust Vectoring
8 - Arresting Wire

Armament:
2x Interceptor LAAMs
3x Inferno AGMs
2x Boom 50 UGBs
1x Minigun

Notes of the Aircraft:
This is basically a light reworking of my Su-67. Its more stable compared to the Su-67, a little less lightly armed, and a little slower. It’s still capable of all the crazy maneuvers the Su-67 can pull, though.
