Two Russian fifth-generation Su-57E fighter jets have been delivered to a foreign customer, according to UAC CEO Vadim Badekha. He stated that the recipients are very pleased with the Russian aircraft's combat performance.

They have begun combat duty and are demonstrating their best qualities. Our customer is satisfied.

– Badeja said.



As a reminder, Algeria is currently the only known foreign customer for this type of fighter. However, other countries are also showing interest in the Russian fifth-generation fighter.

As military experts note, the Su-57's undoubted advantage is the fact that it has been tested in real military conflict conditions, demonstrating its best qualities and high combat performance.

This aircraft is designed to engage air, ground and sea targets, neutralize enemy air defense systems, conduct reconnaissance and electronic warfare.

When discussing the advantages of this combat aircraft, experts primarily highlight the Su-57 fighter's stealth, high maneuverability, and wide range of weapons.


The aircraft is armed with Kh-31, Kh-35, Kh-38 and Kh-59 missiles, as well as guided aerial bombs, which makes it possible to hit both stationary and moving targets.

    Handed over to the customer, and immediately put on combat duty? . It probably happens.
    And planes, they wrote, really don't have anyone to fight against yet. There are simpler ways to drop flying iron and aluminum...

      The Su-57 fighter jet's appearance at Airshow China 2024 in Zhuhai was the final nail in the coffin of the myth about the aircraft's origin. to the fifth generationAnd also proof that all Russian aircraft manufacturing technologies remain at 20th-century levels.
      It's quite possible that this is a good aircraft, but not a fifth generation one, perhaps a 4++++.
      Photos of the tail section. Note the bolts: they have different types of mounting slots—single-head, Phillips-head, and hex-head. But the bolts themselves already indicate that it's not stealthy.

          Throw in the towel. The bolts are small, meaning they're barely noticeable.

            The bolts are small, i.e. barely noticeable.

            But when there are a huge number of them, they are noticeable and even very noticeable for serious radars.
            For general information, there are only two models that fully qualify as fifth-generation fighters: the F-22 and the F-35. Neither the Su-57 nor the Chengdu J-20 meet this standard.

              Throw in. Small bolts? School physics course. - Fail.
              5th generation? They all meet the requirements. They have minimal requirements, they just cost more money.

                I wrote to you because I see sober thoughts.
                Besides Russian ones, there are many professional media outlets with a full overview of the technical specifications,
                The fifth generation is subject to huge requirements. You wrote it correctly:

                  IMHO, it's a throw-in.
                  5th generation - two requirements: stealth (not clearly defined) and non-afterburning supersonic speed (similar). The rest is a matter of taste.
                  Small bolts are easily deflected by radio waves. The only challenge is ensuring the coating can withstand high supersonic frequencies.
                  And the afterburner is slow, but it was there in the 4th row too... the new engines should just "raise and reduce the cost" a little

                    Sensor Data Fusion: Highly integrated computer systems autonomously combine data from multiple onboard and external sensors (such as AESA radars, infrared systems, and electronic warfare systems) into a single, complete, real-time picture of the battlespace for the pilot, reducing workload and providing superior situational awareness.
                    Network-centric warfare capabilities: The aircraft can seamlessly interact and exchange vast amounts of data with other friendly forces (air, land, and sea) in a "battle cloud," acting as a force multiplier on the battlefield.
                    Advanced avionics and software: These aircraft rely heavily on highly integrated software-defined systems that perform complex missions, providing advanced electronic warfare, self-protection, and command and control (C3) capabilities. The F-35I utilizes the IAI-developed C-4 system.
                    Essentially, these aircraft are designed as intelligent networked systems capable of detecting, tracking and engaging threats before they are even detected.
                    All this was confirmed within 12 days in Iran.

                        Some of them are. All 4+ and 5 are undergoing upgrades. Just install a couple of computers, screens, sensors, and communications – everyone has enough brains.
                        You can dream about 6-10 as much as you want, if you want.

                        and 5e - the requirements have long been determined, the rest is from the confused

    The Su-57 is a high-tech aircraft created by Russian engineers and designers. It is a clear demonstration of Russian prowess, superiority, and progress in aerospace technology. The Su-57 is a marvel of engineering. I wonder: "Is it time to sell these aircraft to other countries? Does the export of these high-tech aircraft pose a threat to Russia's security?" Last week, Western agencies reported the theft of a MiG-31. Another question is: have enough Su-57s been delivered to Russian Air Force squadrons? Does Russia have enough Su-57s to conduct combat operations domestically?

    Hmm. CIA spies are probably already chopping it up into parts and sawing the sawdust to figure out the coating's composition.

    Russia is a country for sale.
    Does the sale of the SU-57 surprise anyone?
    It's outrageous, yes. But our traders, including those in the military industry, shouldn't be surprised.
    The exhibition in Dubai is proof of this.
    Everything is for sale, even the Pantsir anti-aircraft missile system, despite the fact that Ukrainian drones are attacking virtually every city in European Russia. Apparently, we have as many Pantsirs as a shoe polish factory.
