No, they would have built a fuel tank that works.

This is one of the new MiG-29K's on the Kuznetsov aircraft carrier. 4 1000 liter fuel tanks AND a gigantic M-400 radar rec pod! That is a SICK payload especially for a jet taking off from a carrier with no catapult. They are using it to spy on Norway right now but in Syria it will find targets for airstrikes.

One of Russia's Sukhoi T-50 prototypes had a very bad day recently, catching fire at the end of a test sortie and the resulting damage is pretty horrific.
It is not clear what exactly caused the fire, but the PAK-FA program, although appearing to be moving along swiftly, has its issues, and India, the partner nation in the program, it not happy with the design.

I had my doubts as to the aircraft's low-observability right when the airframe was first unveiled, especially considering the engine's first stage fan was not even shrouded from line-of sight in any way. Still, low-observability is not everything when it comes to survivability on the modern air combat battlefield, and it will be even less-so in the future. Yet even for a less aggressive "balanced" low-observable approach, the T-50 in its present form is lacking.
So many people love the Russian fighters, especially the massive Su-27 Flanker and its many derivatives, but the aircraft's avionics, and in the T-50's sake its design philosophy, craftsmanship and material science, simply to do not come close to parity with American designs.
