I'll reevaluate my opinions about the Su-57 if India or any other Russian allies actually buy some. The "problematic" F-35 keeps getting new orders and deliveries, so it's difficult to compare.

[@recoil53]

When people say it's "problematic" or "buggy", they just do not understand the problems with being cutting edge - or the fact that problems can be resolved. The Gripen is easy to maintain because they are optimizing older, very well understood technology. The F-35 and the F-22 are the cutting edge and the first of their kind. Novel issues will arise, period. And nobody else will have solved them. But the do get solved. In the time Russia has built 12 SU-57s, the F-35 has already upgraded it's capabilities several times too. By the time the SU-57 is optimistically in full production, the 6th Gens will be rolling out.

[@julianmorrisco]

@@recoil53 It was more than this - Russian boasting is not just boasting, they are trying to compete in the arms market. So with their highly motivated and huge (but surprisingly inefficient) fake news industry, a lot of the ‘problems’ with the F-35 are politically motivated. Add in conspiracy theorists in the west and the ‘reformers’ like Pierre Spray (RIP) a lot of noise was made about the F-35 that wasn’t really honest. The Indians have been badly burned by their crush on all things Russian military, which is why they dropped out of paying for the Felon. I’m no fighter pilot but when I see multiple interviews of pilots who have flown the teen series for years and some of them even moved to the F-35 saying that they’d rather be in the F-35 than any other plane, I believe them. Many are now retired and have no fish to fry pushing the F-35 and are hugely nostalgic for the planes they flew but all say the F-35 is near perfect for its role. Also, that the Russians are developing something to match Link-16, a 30-40 year old NATO technology should tell you everything. Modern conflict benefits from the same stuff that has benefited industry and communications over the last generation. Networking is a huge force multiplier - it doesn’t matter how agile a plane is if it’s facing adversaries with situational awareness light years ahead of them. Russians are dangerous, but mostly because they don’t value human life. Even their own. But we have all come to see that their high tech is not particularly high, is stolen or relies entirely on components bought from their ‘enemies’. Experience has also shown that American systems are better than published specs but Russian ones are often considerably worse. They just lie. It’s a matter of time before it all comes crashing down. The sooner the better.

I saw the Su 57 recently got an engine upgrade, my impression with this plane is a couple of things. A) they weren't trying to make a direct counterpart to the F22, Russia prefers a workhorse to a racehorse usually. B) It's a paradigm shift and is a learning project which is slowly being modified and refined as money allows. It's like the shift to windows xp, there were a lot of problems due to 64 bit never being used before. I assume this because the successor to the Su 57 is already in development and pre-production. It's a really beautiful airplane in any case

[@Zorro33313]

[@pashapasovski5860]

Warhorse

[@lazycatz112]

You right

[@superblaster7297]

but on the contrary US built the racehorse for war applications which is biting their own back, like the operations cost for F22 and F35 which led to the discontinuation of F22 production because the US coudn't bear the cost of operating both the aircraft at the same time, moreover they've built an aircraft which they thought it would solve the problem but on the way they've created more problems for their own mainly for maintaining and operating cost for both of the planes, That's why US is considering to upgrade the Bloc levels of F16 as mainly the F16 serves more purpose than those of what F35 does maybe rather more efficiently, that's why they've proposed to update F16 for future warfare, moreover just to save cost and maybe more frugal for the airforce even Russian's are also considering to operate single engine aircraft for future applications, like SU75 checkmate, So there is an overall shift in airforce around the world to use more single engine craft for their workhorse purpose overall, since US is also instead of investing more in F35 for future warfare they're trying to shift all the future upgrades to the new F16 programs overall,

1 key similarity between the Su-57 Felon and the F-14A Tomcat: the airframe being ready before the engine intended for it. Grumman was contractually obligated to use the Pratt&Whitney TF30, so the original plan was just to use it for the first batch of aircraft so as to get the aircraft into service with minimal delay, and then produce the F-14B with a new engine as the main production version, and an eventual follow-on upgrade of the avionics known as the F-14C. The new engine was made from the Advanced Technology Engine, which produced the Pratt&Whitney F100 and F401; the F401 had a slightly larger bypass ratio and was intended for the F-14B. Unfortunately, the F-14's greatest enemy, Congress, succeeded in killing the F401 program, and the Tomcat had to soldier on with the TF30s until 1987.

My theory is that after India 'dropped out' of the programme, the Russians no longer wanted a full-fledged stealth fighter. They don't even apply the most basic criteria for stealth (rivet concealment, serpentine air intake design, serrated edges, metal-less canopy, etc). These are well known necessities for effective stealth, there is no way the Russians don't know this (all the more so because they clearly use them on their stealth drone). They simply don't need a Russian F22. Nevertheless, I think it is a beautiful aircraft, I am very sorry that we will never see one of these here in the middle of Europe on a peaceful airshow.

Тут приведено много объяснений, но в целом Су-57 имеет свою концепцию. Нюанс этот просто объяснить. Если F-22 и F-35 это оружие агрессии, вторжения во вражеское воздушное пространство с привлечением AWACS. То Су-57 это оружие защиты или полузащиты. Вместительные внутренние отсеки позволяют возить больше ракет, более дальнобойных или ударного оружия. Дополнительные радары в крыле и фюзеляже позволяют легче обнаруживать F-22 и F-35 и в большем угле, таким образом не позволив взять себя в тактическое окружение. Двигатели без защитных кожухов, но как и в F-35 это не так существенно, если действовать на расстоянии. Двигатели Ал-41 отличные, хотя и не позволяют вести длительный крейсерских сверхзвуковой полет, но как мы видим на примере с F-35 там вообще им пользоваться ограничили с целью сбережения драгоценного покрытия. Фюзеляж имеет многослойные композиты и не требуют дорого обслуживания и оберегания поверхности как на F-22 и F-35. Также заявлена достаточно низкая цена за экземпляр и стоимость наземного обслуживания. Остался один вопрос - почему так мало заказали? Вопрос больше про деньги, все-таки строить 2000 самолетов как F-35 в России и не планировали. Для собственных ВВС нужно порядка 200-300 Су-57 плюс примерно 200-300 ударных истребителей Су-35 и Су-30, плюс 200 Су-34. С земли их прикроют мощные системы С-300/400/500 которые способны держать AWACS на расстояниях 300-500км. В целом же концепция Су-57 гораздо более универсальная и удачная, а цена постройки и эксплуатации останется скорее в диапазоне как у Су-35 или F-15. Также замечу что разработка F-22 с первого полета до серийного производства тоже шло с 1990-2003 (13 лет), а F-35 разрабатывался с 2000-2015 (15 лет). Су-57 имеет срок с 2010-2020 (10 лет). Да, производство Су-57 изначально мелкосерийное, но в СССР серийно даже Су-27 и МиГ-29 не строили такими же сериями как F-16 или F-15. В итоге у ВВС России к 2030 году будет примерно 50% - 100 самолетов и к 2035 году - 200 самолетов, + 600 Су-35/30/34. There are many explanations given here, but in general the Su-57 has its own concept. This nuance is easy to explain. If the F-22 and F-35 are weapons of aggression, incursions into enemy airspace involving AWACS. The Su-57 is a defensive or midfield weapon. Roomy internal compartments allow you to carry more missiles, longer-range or strike weapons. Additional radars in the wing and fuselage make it easier to detect the F-22 and F-35 at a higher angle, thus not allowing themselves to be taken into a tactical environment. The engines do not have protective covers, but as in the F-35, this is not so significant if you act from a distance. The Al-41 engines are excellent, although they do not allow for long-term supersonic cruising flight, but as we can see from the example of the F-35, they generally limited their use in order to save precious coverage. The fuselage has multilayer composites and does not require expensive maintenance and surface protection as on the F-22 and F-35. A fairly low price per copy and the cost of ground handling are also stated. One question remains - why did you order so little? The question is more about money, after all, they did not plan to build 2,000 aircraft like the F-35 in Russia. For its own Air Force, about 200-300 Su-57s are needed, plus about 200-300 Su-35 and Su-30 strike fighters, plus 200 Su-34s. From the ground, they will be covered by powerful S-300/400/500 systems that are capable of holding AWACS at distances of 300-500km. In general, the Su-57 concept is much more versatile and successful, and the price of construction and operation will remain rather in the range of the Su-35 or F-15. I also note that the development of the F-22 from the first flight to mass production also took place from 1990-2003 (13 years), and the F-35 was developed from 2000-2015 (15 years). The Su-57 has a period from 2010-2020 (10 years). Yes, the production of the Su-57 was initially small-scale, but in the USSR, even the Su-27 and MiG-29 were not mass-produced in the same series as the F-16 or F-15. As a result, the Russian Air Force will have about 50% - 100 aircraft by 2030 and 200 aircraft by 2035, + 600 Su-35/30/34.

[@JeremiahAnunnaki]

Russia has stated that the SU-57 was based on f-22A. The USA has test flown(or at least the technologies) of the Replacement called NGAD in 2019. I suspect a low rate production is underway. By the time the SU-57 is on a "somewhat" comparable level to the raptor. The raptor will be retired. Note the F-22 has and is still receiving upgrades. Basically to fund a f-35A stuffed inside. The patriot missle system is more advanced and higher kill ratio than and S-series radar missle systems.

[@engenius11]

@@JeremiahAnunnaki The Su-57 was made with an eye to the F-22, but using a different technology. If the F-22 and F-35 have a mostly metal fuselage and are covered with special and very capricious coatings on top, then the main part of the Su-57 airframe is saddled using multilayer composite technology, which, thanks to the combination of layers, effectively dissipate radio waves. Plus, side radars and radars in the wings are used, which allow detecting targets in a wide range of heading angles, plus radars of another range, which are easier to detect a stealth fighter. As for production, the Su-57 is launched on the market in about the same time frame of 15 years as the F-22 and F-35. Plus, in the USSR and Russia there is a slightly different approach to procurement and production - if in the USA it is large-scale production of a large batch, then here it is small-scale production, which allows you to reduce the price by maintaining a large assembly line, but at the same time get more expensive components. As for the missiles for the S-300 and S-400 complexes, in the last decade there have also been versions of missiles with active homing heads. So both systems, like the future S-500, will be able to work with both types of missiles.

[@abissuminvocat]

They always forget that an aircraft in stealth mode needs external target designation, because by turning on its own radar it immediately ceases to be stealth. The SU-57 is supposed to fly with the radar turned on, providing targeting for other systems, so it makes no sense to make it undetectable below a certain scope. In this regard, it plays more of the role of an AWACS aircraft than a simple fighter. A similar thing was done with the MIG-31. Russia does not have enough AWACS aircraft, so the Su-57 will take over some of their functions. And drones can be used as a platform for launching missiles.

[@rawlotw]

Aren't you listening carefully - no airplane is trully invisible for DETECTION (with or without passive radar), but it is difficult to TRACK/AIM at with radar-guided missiles, because they are designed to absorb/deflect enemie's tracking radar's frequency (different from detection radar's frequency.

That said the f-35 will get an upgraded engine in the coming years too (though this is a genuine upgrade and not catch-up-to-original-spec incidence). As far as RAM, this is an area where Russia has yet to demonstrate scalable ability. But they did shift the designations on production units from prototype to final syntax, and one hallmark of that shift was the resolution of the exposed screw issue-however crude. I’m not debating the prowess of the platform or its ability to live up to the intended spec, but there are final designation units of Su-57s in the Russian air arsenal (albeit lacking advanced engine tech or the RAM needed to lower their RCS below the .5-1m^2 generally accepted in current form).

It's a literal boat and unless it is dead straight on at whatever is looking at it on radar it comes up bigger than a F-18 which makes its claim of stealth laughable. It has never demonstrated or proven itself as a 5th gen aircraft and saying its better than a 4th gen aircraft is being generous.

The American illusion of having an aircraft undetectable by radar was shattered when a Russian Su-35S fighter took an infrared photograph of an F-22 Raptor as it flew over Syrian territory. According to the Defense-Blog website, the Russian fighter used its search and tracking equipment to locate the American fighter, which, according to its manufacturers, is practically invisible to traditional radars. Against this background and after the Americans determined that the Russian Sukhoi Su-35 fighters posed a threat to any Western fighter in the region, the decision was made to deploy the F-22 Raptor air superiority fighter. This was then the most advanced in the US Air Force. Therefore, upon arriving in the theater of operations in Syria, the American command was convinced that the F-22 Raptor could tip the balance of air power in its favor in the hope of outwitting the S-400 systems on the ground. While the F-22 Raptor was supposed to outrun the Russian fighters in the air without the slightest effort, the F-22 Raptors would not only operate alone, as in addition to the 10 F-22 fighters that the United States sent, it also sent an E-3 Sentry (AWACS) as well as two KC-10 Extender aircraft that were based at the Aldafra airfield in the United Arab Emirates. But the American fighters soon showed their weaknesses, starting with the fact that their extensive maintenance process barely allowed them to fly one combat sortie per week. In contrast, the much simpler and more reliable Russian Sukhoi Su-35s could fly daily over Syria, maintaining air superiority in the region. Worse still for the F-22 Raptors, they soon discovered that their stealth did not give them the advantage they had hoped for. Indeed, the radars of the S-400 systems on the ground and the Irbis E radars of the Sukhoi Su-35 fighters in the air could detect them, but it would be the infrared search and track system of the Sukhoi Su-35 fighter that, according to sources in Russia, would put an end to the F-22 Raptor's stealth. It was finally able to detect the F-22 Raptor at a distance of 50 kilometers. To be more precise, it was on September 24, 2018 when the Russian press finally announced that a Sukhoi Su-35 fighter was able to track its F-22 Raptor fighter using its infrared sensor and even ended up taking a photo of the F-22 Raptor fighter in a cryptic manner, as a report from the commander of the US 95th Reconnaissance Squadron stationed at Al Dhafra Air Base would eventually indicate. He would eventually state at the end of the campaign that the F-22 Raptor could not effectively track the Sukhoi 35 in Syria, so the American reports concluded that despite the F-22 Raptor’s superior stealth and sensors, in fact the capabilities of the Russian Sukhoi 35 fighters turned out to be surprisingly good. and they pose a challenge to be considered in the future even more with the appearance of new improved versions and even Russian fifth generation fighters, which at that time was a remote but quite worrying possibility.

The military operation of the Western coalition in Libya began on March 19, 2011. The air forces and navies of Great Britain, France, the USA, Italy and Canada took part in it, with the main combat missions being carried out by the F-15 Eagle, F-16 Fighting Falcon, Dassault Rafale and Panavia Tornado GR4 fighters. Shortly before the start of Operation Odyssey: Dawn, some American and European analysts were anticipating the participation of the American F-22 Raptor fighter, the only fifth-generation combat aircraft in the world to enter service. However, the experts' expectations were not met - the F-22 never appeared in the skies of Libya, and, according to a statement by the US Air Force, it will not appear in the future. Despite the fact that other participants in the Western coalition did not expect the F-22 to participate in the military operation, the United States suddenly decided to justify itself, citing a lot of reasons why the famous Raptors were not aimed at ensuring a no-fly zone over the territory of Libya. The first on this issue On March 22, 2011, Lexington Institute analyst Lauren Thompson spoke out. According to him, the most advanced American combat aircraft is simply not designed to perform military missions such as those implemented in Libya at the very beginning of the Odyssey. Let us recall that the main goal of the first stage of the military operation was to ensure a no-fly zone over the territory of an African state, for which it was necessary to disable all air defense systems that were under the control of troops loyal to Muammar Gaddafi. At the same time, the confrontation with Libyan aviation was not taken into account (and indeed, since the beginning of the Odyssey, not a single Libyan aircraft has been seen in the air). Thompson noted that the F-22 is not physically designed to attack ground targets. The aircraft can be armed with two 450-kilogram JDAM guided bombs, which are capable, however, of hitting stationary but not moving targets. In addition, as it turned out, the F-22 radar is not capable of mapping terrain, as synthetic aperture radars do, and therefore cannot independently select ground targets. This effectively means that if the F-22 in its current form were to be used to bomb any targets, information about the targets would be loaded into the aircraft's on-board computer before takeoff. But the enumeration of the shortcomings of the fifth-generation American fighter did not end there. It turned out that the fighter had very limited communication capabilities. The aircraft is capable of exchanging information only with other F-22s in the flight. The Raptor is also equipped with a “stripped-down” Link 16 communications system, widely used by the US and NATO militaries, but it works exclusively to receive operational information from other aircraft and helicopters and cannot be used for data transmission. When creating the F-22, engineers deliberately limited the fighter's communications capabilities to ensure even greater stealth - it is assumed that in the event of combat use the aircraft will always operate in radio silence mode. One could turn a blind eye to Thompson’s conclusions - it happens that analysts tell things that are subsequently either refuted by the military, or never go beyond the scope of conjecture and conjecture, without finding factual confirmation. However, at the end of March 2011, US Air Force Commander Norton Schwartz personally decided to speak out on the issue of the F-22’s non-participation in the Libyan operation. According to him, the American fighter does not take part in the Libyan operation because it is geographically located far from the combat area. "If the F-22s were stationed at one of the bases in Europe, they would undoubtedly take part in the Libyan operation," Schwartz said. However, he added that “since the operation in Libya began relatively quickly, it was decided to use various resources located nearby.” Currently, American F-22s, according to the US Air Force, are based in Virginia, New Mexico, California, Florida, Alaska and Hawaii. At the end of his speech, Schwartz said that “the fact that the F-22 did not participate in this particular operation is not an indicator of its uselessness.” On the same day, speaking at a House Appropriations subcommittee hearing, Schwartz tried to explain why the Air Force decided in 2010 to abandon the upgrade of the F-22 fighter communications systems, which was planned to be carried out as part of the Increment 3.2 program. According to Schwartz, it was planned to install a MADL standard communications system on the F-22, which is currently being created for the promising F-35 Lightning II fighters. The new MADL system has not yet been tested for combat use, which means that its use on the F-22, according to Schwartz, means unnecessary expenses and a certain risk that the Air Force cannot take. In this case, the remaining parameters of the Increment 3.2 program will be implemented. Former Air Force intelligence chief David Deptula, who attended the House hearing, harshly criticized the refusal to install MADL on F-22 fighters. According to him, it was pointless to create “the most advanced fighter in the world” and then not be able to exchange data with other aircraft. “There’s a penny’s worth of wisdom and a pound’s worth of stupidity,” with these words Deptula commented on the US Air Force’s decision to abandon the installation of MADL systems on F-22 fighters. It is curious, however, that in order to allow the F-22 to exchange information with other aircraft, helicopters and ground units, the US Air Force created a special air combat communications center. It included six special versions of the RQ-4 Global Hawk Block 20 unmanned aerial vehicles, with which the fighters are capable of exchanging data. At the same time, drones are able to relay data from the F-22 to other aircraft and helicopters equipped with the Link 16 system. Such a connection was created in case of large-scale combat operations and has not yet been used in reality. That is, the US Air Force has actually confirmed that F-22 pilots still need the ability to exchange data. But why it was necessary to create a separate communications center for the Raptor and refuse to modernize the fighter’s own communications systems is not entirely clear. Probably, the emphasis is still on stealth - by exchanging information with the communications center, the F-22 gains wider access to operational information without giving away its location. Interestingly, the F-22 was adopted by the US Air Force in 2005. Since then, he has not taken part in any military campaign that the United States waged outside the country. On the one hand, the American fighter is too expensive to participate in military operations in Pakistan, Iraq, Afghanistan or Somalia. But on the other hand, how else can you test all the capabilities of an aircraft that has not yet proven its “power” in practice?

Congratolations for the first real comment in this jungle of ignorants

[@russiaandtheworld1597]

@@ACulpaEdoElectricista It is worth adding that the F22 program, like the F35, completely failed. As follows from the information provided by the Sina information resource, most of the F-22 combat fighters in service with the US Air Force cannot take off, not to mention the fact that only about 20 vehicles are suitable for performing real combat missions. “The United States cannot send its F-22 fighters to the war in Syria - about 60% of them simply will not take off, while about 30% need to be decommissioned and serviced. In fact, today the Pentagon has only two dozen F-22 fighters. The maximum that the Pentagon can afford in Siri is three fighters,” emphasize experts from the PRC. It should be clarified that, based on the materials presented by the Sina publication, such an unfavorable situation is associated with the fact that practically no funds were allocated to maintain the combat capability of the F-22 fighters, and only the same aircraft were constantly on combat duty.

If you look at any production models you'll see the screws are covered. Again, there are still problems with the fighter, but i just doubt the newest production versions are as bad as everyone says Edit: also, people point to the engines being exposed. Again, only really on the prototype versions are they open.

The USA has borrowed so much money from the world markets it could make anything it wanted to. Here's the problem with that, the US is close to maxing out it's credit card, the markets will no longer buy US debt and accept close to zero interest rates they want much higher rates for doing so. If the US wants to continue their program of military and social spending then those rates will go a lot higher, would you be ok if interest rates went above 10% for example? Russia doesn't have a military that could compete with the USA and I think their view is they don't need to have one because the US military budget is not about defeating Russia in a war (never going to happen due to nukes) it's about projecting power and acting like an empire.
