Russia's fifth generation fighter will be about three times as cheap as its foreign analog, Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin said on Thursday.He observed the test flight of a prototype fighter and later talked to the pilot, Sergei Bogdan."It will be a machine superior to our main competitor, the F-22, in maneuverability, armament and range," Putin said."Also in morale," the pilot added."Above all else," Putin said smiling.

F22 has a fly-away cost of roughly $170 million.
"3 times cheaper" means $57 million per copy for PAK FA.
That's just an ad claim. $70-80 million/copy sounds more realistic.
