New image of Russia’s T-50 clearly shows the new shark camouflage.

As already explained on the Aviationist, Russia’s 5th generation stealth fighter, the T-50 (PAK FA – Perspektivny Aviatsionny Kompleks Frontovoy Aviatsii—Future Tactical Air System), has recently received a new camouflage.
A new image of the blue 055, taken on November 22 by Artyom Anikeev gives a hint of what the paint scheme looks like as seen from the top (or when the aircraft is turning).
As a consequence of the new color scheme (seemingly inspired by the White Tip Longimanus shark typical of the Red Sea) a T-50 seen from distance would appear as a rhomboidal shaped aircraft, smaller than the actual airplane.
