Certainly a very attractive option if the PAK-FA pans out what with it being in a fairly early developmental phase.  Of course that'll just cause some confusion as the South Koreans already have a T-50 (aka Golden Eagle trainer)

Yeah, I read about this a couple of weeks ago - me thinks the Sth Koreans are going to use it's inclusion as leverage.

Well looking at the Russky production numbers of late (su-34, 20) I wonder if it's even going to go into the 450+ numbers projected. And don't SK already have the KAI TFX?

I suspect that it will. Especially as Sukhoi have an greement to build them jointly with India with at least 200 in the initial batch going to both countries of course.
