Does production Su-75 keep the reinforcement bar in the belly intake?

S-70 design should be more or less set in stone by now, probably has been for a while now. It's assembled at NAPO in Novosibirsk. Su-57 and presumably Su-75 are and will be assembled at KnAAPO in Komsomolsk-on-Amur. So while the design team has been and probably still is busy, production facilities are seperate.
There is a revised design, which is a refined version of the initial design shown by the mock up. With more internal space, presumably for fuel to increase range, also changes to some control surfaces etc.
The design lineage, mock up and revised design have all been published and can be found in the anniversary book given out to employees.
As for "is there is production Su-75 already", it probably depends on how your definition of production goes. According to whispers in dark alleyways there is at least one prototype for flight under construction, which would indicate at least one non-flying structural prototype preceding it. If that's true or not will only be seen when an aircraft takes flight or the Su-75 gets quietly shelved in favor of other developments.
The Russian company "Russian Combat Vehicles" unveiled the "Legioner" armored pickup truck. It is not yet clear whether the new armored vehicle will be mass-produced. The armored vehicle was built using the experience of modern warfare. The all-wheel drive "Legioner" features an armored cabin and an open cargo bed. The pickup is equipped with a mount for a machine gun or electronic warfare systems. The bed can carry two wounded personnel. The pickup has a BR 5 protection class, protecting the crew from automatic weapons fire, including rifle rounds with heat-strengthened cores. The "Legioner" armored vehicle weighs 6.5 tons and has a payload capacity of 2.5 tons. The armored vehicle is equipped with a YaMZ-534 diesel engine producing 200 hp, allowing it to reach speeds of up to 100 km/h. The armored vehicle has a range of approximately 750 km. The price of the "Legioner" pickup has not been announced.
It is. The Su-57 seen there is the static display '057', the engines give it away as these serrated nozzles haven't been adopted by the production Su-57S with the AL-41s, although the engine testbed '052' flew with one AL-51 with such a nozzle, until being seen most recently with the flat nozzle.
