Where did you find the Mach 2+ figure? The only speed numbers I have found on it, claim 500 km/h. Which makes sense to me, the thing weighs almost as much as a SU-35 but has half the thrust.

The engine they fitted to it isn't what they plan on using for production... this thing is a few years away from use... still kind of an eye opener to see how far technology has come.
