Several members over at Paralay's forum have put up the hypothesis that Okhotnik adopts the Su-57 landing gear, which is plausible based on what's visible in the photo and also precedent: nEuron's gear was donated by the Mirage 2000, Gripen provided the landing gear for Taranis. Scaling on the basis of this assumption, Paralay gets close to the 18m wing span I derived earlier from the silhouettes on the fins of Su-57 #053. So it seems increasingly likely that we're indeed looking at something a good bit larger than nEuron, Taranis and MiG's Skat, closer to X-47B.

I would fully agree ... larger also than the Chinese Sharp Sword.

Wow looks nice and large. Front makes the design look almost identical to xb47. Russians continue to say Chinese copy the designs from others. They and everyone else does exactly that as well here and there.

Still have issues with their tail/engine masking.

These are not issues; it seems that the Russians simply chose to save a bit of time to test their demonstrator/prototype. There is no need to test new technologies aboard a demonstrator and I fully expect them to have shielded engine exhausts once the production variant is close to flight, as with the case of the Chinese Sharp Sword and CH-7.
