Where you see anything about series production? It is not even prototype...

I was talking about the RRJ in that sentence, but series production is the logic end game if they are drawing up more detailed plans. They need more detailed plans for production purposes afterall.

Yes, but originally from Paralay's excellent website (I should think).
By the way, shall I stick on these photos I found on the www.forums.airbase.ru forum, just in case they haven’t been shown before (I hate starting new threads)?
They appear to depict a Su-32 (as it was then called) undergoing survivability testing – having all sorts of munitions used against it and whatever else. In the first pic you can see the damage been inflicted upon it, especially under the cockpit canopy.
In the second and third pictures we can actually see the aircraft actually undergoing the testing process, the third pic been quite enigmatic, what’s that going by in front of the aircraft – imitating a MANPADS perhaps?
I believe these photos came from the website of the organization below
State Governmental Scientific-Testing Area of Aircraft Systems" (FKP "GkNIPAS)

Excellent website and it has an English language version too!! Check out the rocket propelled sled for testing the Su-32’s ejection seat system.

Just slam this sentence (or any part of it) into the Google search engine.
It should give you the right link.

Fifth Generation Airplane Project Undergoes Defense of Engineering Mock-upThe fifth generation airplane project has undergone defense of an engineering mock-up ((PROSHEL ZASHCHITU TEKHNICHESKOGO MAKETA)), General-Colonel Aleksandr Zelin, temporarily acting air force commander-in-chief, reported to journalists at events dedicated to Air Defense Forces Day.
“The fifth generation airplane project has undergone defense of the engineering mock-up. Right now it is at the stage of creation of the working design documentation,” he said.
The general added that “time for the airplane’s creation is not changing, the customer’s decisions are not changing, and those time periods which had been established, we are operating within them.” Planning operations for creation of the new airplane are on-going, the acting CinC added.
Earlier, Russia’s defense minister had announced that the fifth generation airplane will be created by 2009.

Does this mean a hand built prototype has been accepted for series production? Thats how the RRJ project is being done, they are piecing together a single hand built prototype now.

ARMS-TASS HAS THIS PICTURE
http://arms-tass.su/?page=article&aid=38546&cid=24the arms-tass article says they are drawing up the necessary documentation for actual production, basically more detailed blueprints.
i am very glad about this news
An interdepartmental working group for the development of the aviation industry has approved a program for the Unified Aircraft Building Corporation (OAK).
According to an issue of the RBK Daily, OAK is supposed to manufacture in 2008 – 2012 15 Il-96 airplanes, 84 Tu-204/214 airplanes, 236 Sukhoy SuperJets and 95 An-148. At the same time, there were no An-124 in the line-up, and the question of the Tu-334 still has not been resolved.
Earlier, several companies had declared to purchase An-124 airplanes from OAK. For example, Volga-Dniepr had wanted to obtain 12 An-124-100 before 2015. And the Polet airline had proposed purchasing 5 such airplanes at a minimum before 2012.
I hope they can sell more Tu-204 and An-124
