In a Brazilian military website it has a small article on the PAK-FA
fighter. It says that the name will be the Sukhoi T-50 and that it
will not have the forward swept wings as the Su-47 prototype. The
prototype is expected to fly in 2006/2007 with initial in-service
around 2012. I guess we may be seeing some drawings or pictures
soon...I hope!

Are you sure you have the information right? The PAK-FA is supposed
to look something like this:

IIRC, it was firmly established that the final product would NOT have
the Su-47s swept-forward wings and the first flight not until 2009.
