      Except for those giant engine nozzles sticking out the back giving a great radar return and lighting up every IR scope that is not directly in front of them. The F-35 has one of those and that's bad enough let alone two of them. The Raptor on the other hand has two extremely powerful engines with hidden square exhaust ports that at least minimizes radar return.

    • @recoil53
      @recoil53 11 місяців тому +88

      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
      @julianmorrisco 11 місяців тому +57

      @@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.

Then we might see some countries interested. I could imagine Iran spending on it. I don't expect China, because China is trying to copy US and Russian technology alike. Or maybe just to retroengineer it. Then you have india which bought Rafales for the sake of not being tied to the US nor Russia alone.

    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

      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.

    The SU-57 is a beautiful aircraft and quite a performer, but there are a few things that would, IMHO, prevent it from being a "Raptor killer".
    The first is the fact that the SU-57 is not as stealthy as the Raptor. This means that the Raptor would see it before it could see the Raptor. This equates to "first look, first shot, first kill".
    Second, the winner in any dogfight is usually the better pilot. US pilots are far more proficient than Russian pilots, who get less than half the proficiency time as do American pilots. While US pilots spend a lot of time in simulated engagements, Russian pilots generally go up, fly a mission, then come home.
    Third, Russia only has about 20 of these aircraft, and AFAIK none have ever seen front line service. But as has been insinuated, they may have flown some missions without having been detected.
    But the F&E videos and animations are great! I always enjoy them - keep up the good work!!

    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.

      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
      @engenius11 7 місяців тому +2

      @@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.

      @@pollo4744 There have been 8 serial production Su-57s to date (vs roughly 1000 f-35s). These are both platforms in flux though. None of the Su-57s have the intended Saturn AL-51 engines, instead using the 41F1 engines from Su-35s. 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).

    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.

      The SU-57 has apparently been used, firing missiles from long range. Which is all any Russian or Ukrainian aircraft does, because of the density of excellent SAM systems.
      NATA could probably do SEAD, but Russia has never had that capability, because the only countries worth using SEAD against are… former Soviet ones, and so the USSR never developed SEAD tech, giving Russia a starting point of jack all.

      Let's be real, the F-22 takes absolutely anything out. There's simply no comparison with any other aircraft, not even the F-35.

      It's impressive how the Raptor is, by far, still the very best in the world, and 20 years later nothing has quite catched up. If they are thinking about retiring it, they better have something even more capable.

      We literally have all the tech specs on the SU57 and its pretty garbage. 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 real fact is that there isn't a combat ready air frame that they are willing to send up otherwise they would be flexing it in Ukraine.
