The way Russia produces weapons and make them more reliable is by step by step upgrades. This way the software and other components are not sophisticated at the beginning and it’s easier to identify bugs and deficiencies. If one tries all fully newer systems, points of failure increases dramatically. Very practical people producing very reliable and rugged war machines
Russians have their fair share of rushed aircraft. If we look into history, MiG-19, MiG-23, Su-25, Su-24, were all pretty "green", if want for a better word. Su-24 had its airframe adjusted as it was in production for aerodynamics, while its top speed wasn't properly assessed before being sent into units limited to measly Mach-1.3. MiG-19 was horribly unreliable while MiG-23 had its metallurgy and wing console manufacturing method wholly re-done between MiG-23S and MiG-23M. Su-25 had severe issues with gun recoil opening access hatches, shaking avionics loose in their compartment (much like MiG-27) and avionics themselves were constantly shorting due to ingress of dew.
Vast majority of the issues were indeed resolved over time, but back during Cold War, rushing the design was done on both sides as one tried to one-up the other.
You know nothing about russians, everything is developing there in spite of and not thanks to. So, your idea about russians is some sort of fairy tail.
@@Max_Da_Gbro the f-104 was literally named the widow maker
@@littleface7060 That was due to it being utilized incorrectly. That was a highly specialized, high speed interceptor, made for zoom flights. When operators started trying to use it for low level or low speed, it showed a severe deficiency in that realm. There was no consideration for bombs or rockets when it was designed.
I have also read this from another source. The Su-57 will now go into proper production. Idiots have been mocking that there are only a handful so far...true but with the M model upgrades installed, the Su-57 will now go to production on a larger scale.
Yes, it is amusing those bragging about 800 plus F-35s being already built, but it still isn't 100% reliable and fully operational. It is not even 20% fully reliable and operational. They will end up in the same position as Europe with the Typhoon where they are now scrapping their first Typhoons from service because the cost of upgrading their old Typhoons to the current upgrade level is higher than just making new aircraft. How many of the current fleet of F-35s will just get junked when they have fixed all the problems and the amount of changes means it is also cheaper just to make them new. Of course the real problem is that they seem to prefer shifting the bar rather than even admitting there are problems so it may never get fixed anyway.
@@garryb374 depending on model they are between 15 % and 29 % operational, F-35 that is ...
It made me remember the early days of Space X and its destroyed spaceships during testing. Now they soar and everyone become it's admirer. SU57M will soon become very relevant just like Su30.
@garryb374 good luck with russian best air defenses. Plus american air force is in pretty bad shape. Only 52% rate ready
@@OneShadow7yes imagine. A joke. Plus russia producing in mass thoae su-57s. Now they have 52
Malaysia made the right move to choose the su57. The Royal Malaysian Air Force (RMAF) is to select the Sukhoi Su-57E Felon fifth-generation stealth fighter as its next Multirole Combat Aircraft (MRCA). Malaysia is in talks with Russia to purchase Su-57 aircraft as part of a comprehensive plan to modernize its fleet of combat aircraft.
Unlike f22, SU57 has 5 radars on diferent bandwidth, IRST, UV sensors, supermanoverability, enormous internal storages carying missiles with twice the range and speed, helmet mounted aiming sight, bigger range and speed than F22.
As for stealth (the most guarded military secret) only guessing remains.
Stealth is not crucial if your main task is air defense.
The funniest thing with this, is that the F22 is STILL a better aircraft in all shapes and forms compared to the failed F35 xD
LMAo the 57 isn't even in the same league as the F-22 or F-35 all the lies and BS you russians spout wont change the fact that you can't build a plane as good as the retired F-117 from back in the 1980s lol.. whine and cry about it all you like but truth and facts are never on your side

Asi como está sin sus motores de segunda etapa ya es muy superior al f-35 y f-22 ahora con sus nuevos misiles motores radar será aun mas superior,,bien hecho por los ingenieros rusos.
I agree, sales of the f-35 are going to plummet, because the US does not have enough confidence in it to use it over Ukraine.
That is surprising that Russia finally made a realistic rear targeting and missile system as the 1982 movie called Firefox that starred Clint Eastwood to penetrate behind enemy lines of the Soviet Union to steal its most valuable and secretive jet fighter having special weapons system, speed, and can outmaneuver all US/NATO fighter planes.
It was a decent movie to watch as the rear firing system is at the rear of the plane and had to think or speak Russian to fire it... so again an early ideal of Ai even was being played around in both fiction and reality weapons systems.
They will increase production, now that they have tested the new engine.
Yeah but can they keep up production with losses?
@@shuathe2nd Losses are very few. They lost one at a airfield, but that will not happen again.
@@johnbodman4504 why won't it happen again? Russian air defence is leakier than my kitchen sieve and has proved ineffective against slow moving and small drones.

sexiest plane ever made
I said this over 8 months ago... 5 gen with 6th Gen engines so is it a 5th Gen Fighter or in order to qualify like the F-22.....66% of your inventory is un-flyable due to software and maintenance issues. We bought the F-35 for our carriers, what a sod-din mistake that was.
The problem with the F-35 is that they made 3 different models and tried to replace the Harrier as well as light fighters like the F-16 and F-18 and other similar types. A 5th gen fighter is already a compromised design because of its internal weapons and large internal fuel fraction, but having internal space for a huge lift fan in the front ruined the shape of the F-35 so they have ended up with a stealthy Buccaneer instead of a stealthy F-16 which is what they wanted. The Buc is an excellent aircraft but it is not light fighter... more a light strike carrier plane.
The good news is you don't need carriers to protect your land
To be fair to British MOD, apart from F-35, there is nothing really available to it in the short to medium term, both politically and technologically. F-35B and F-35C are the only gen-5 aircraft in the world that are currently available for purchase that are carrier-capable. Something needs to replace the retired Harrier, and only F-35 can do this in timely fashion. God knows when, or whether at all, Tempest will be completed and carrier-capable model is available. Showing a model as an "up yours" to Trump is one thing, making one is wholly another. UK realistically only has one supplier now, and that's US.
The mistake, in and of itself, wasn't the purchase of F-35. The mistake was rushing into inducting it before the teething problems were sorted out.
The Su-57 is a very impressive fifth generation fighter jet. Everybody should get one.
Ukraine already taken one out

And yet it isn't as stealthy as the old retired F-117 from the 1980s lolol hard to kill what it can't see but easy prey for the 22 and 35 !!! lies and BS wont change what is
Quality? You are great joker.
i really like those color scheme for their cockpit. It's not intimidating, it feels fresh and friendly
Btw, you know how, if you look at every Soviet jet, like the Mig21, you see the same gray/olive green/blue color.. It was established by Soviet psychologists that it is a calming color, so they stick to that color scheme as one of the elements to keep the pilots calmer (so I've read )

WTF was that
I wonder how it's managing the AOA at high subsonic speed. 🤔
Same as every other aircraft. Flight control system has all the acceptable rates written in it and related to airspeeds. Overstressing the aircraft when the system is fully supporting the aircraft is near-impossible: the control system simply won't allow it to perform a dangerous action. Pilot is also thoroughly trained on "user manual" for the aircraft, same one that Maverick threw in the bin at the beginning of Top Gun 2.

What’s the point they weren’t be used like the T-14 Armata. I remember Russian fan boys boasting how Iraqi Migs and Sukhois were going to wipe out US F-15s and F-18s. Once US fighters started taking out Migs and Sukhois by the dozens. The rest fled to Iran and defected. Then ask Israeli pilots that took out 86 Russian Migs for not a single F-15 loss.

@@andrzej3511 as opposed to latest models that the collective west churns every week huh? :P check the stats of F-16 Block A with B, C, and D. Then come back n tell us what you learned.
@@hawkstamos1766 I don't have to check anything or learn anything. I can immediately explain to any Russian chauvinist what the difference is - if he is able to understand it.
Since you brought up F-16, I will use its example. The point is the fundamental difference: from the moment of its creation, first flight and placing an order by the US armed forces, LARGE-SERIES PRODUCTION IMMEDIATELY started, and the planes were immediately incorporated into regular air units. Production is so big that most air forces of the world flies the F-16, including the USA, of course.
Maybe you haven't noticed it: the F-16 is such a successful design that it is constantly produced and used to this day and there is no indication that it will be withdrawn from service.
It is absolutely obvious to everyone (although I see that it is not so obvious to Russian, you got only one: agression and war) that both the military doctrine and the goals set for these machines have been changing for forty years. To meet the needs, the manufacturer UPGRADES subsequent series to these requirements. At the same time, older aircraft are upgreded to a similar level, equalizing the combat potential of older and new machines. Hence the designations from Block 1 to Block 75, and it is already known that work on further DEVELOPMENTS of this aircraft is nearing completion.
I would like to point out that nearly 6,000 of these aircraft have been produced till today, most of them in the latest versions, including upgraded.
So you have A LOT to be afraid of, with your few (LESS THAN FINGERS ON YOUR HANDS!) PROTOTYPES. THIS IS THE BIGGEST DIFFERENCE.
And the most comical thing, if it weren't so pathetic, is that the Su-57 has been put into production for so long that it has already become obsolete and ALREADY NEEDS AN UPGRADE!!!!
The matter is trivial: Putler has NO MONEY for such expensive toys...
The world's second army? More like a second army just in Ukraine. You will soon find out thanks to, among others, the F-16!!!
Finally, for dessert: the cherry on the cake. The Su-57 was equipped with extremely "modern" Saturn AL-41F engines. So modern that it is impossible to build thermal shields for them.
As a result, this plane, or more precisely the ENGINES, - like the entire Sukhoi family - shines with a powerful portion of infrared at a distance of tens of kilometers!!! This is such a disadvantage that the Americans have long ago developed air-to-air missiles that gives these machines NO CHANCE. Especially to fight Su-series plans. And no decoys or thermal traps will help: these missiles identify your planes based on the heat signature of the engines and they reject decoys. No radar, no laser pointig is needed!
This is the "invisible" Su-57, this is the best Russian technology without analogs* in the world!!!! So... good luck!
* Of course, the Su-57 has no analogues in the world. No one who thinks normally NEEDS an airplane that signals to everyone with its infrared emissions: "hey, I'm here - hit me with everything you've got"!!! I'm right?
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Please show us all the great and world-beating achievements of Rzhech Pospolita :) Where are the all-Polish nuclear powerplants? Aircraft? Cars? Electronics? Ships? Russians are building all that in real life, and it can be read about, seen, touched, used. Sort Poland out before laughing at Russia. You Poles are a proud lot, truly it must be embarrassing to need a big overseas "brother" to help defend you. Except there is a good chance that this "brother" will do the same dirty to Poland as Britain and France did in 1939. You know the history. No need to trust and love Russians. Just don't piss them off. Relying on others for your security is a bad idea though.

@@Scorpio69 What? Do you mean has new ammo. I think u Russians have no idea of 5th gen, much less 6th gen(what the US is now in process of selecting and mass producing). SU-57 has RCS of an F-15, that's not stealth
The best you can do is pickup a dot of an F-35 at 17 miles out, you're dead by then. F-22 is barely readable on the best Russian radars (it looks like a bird), same result you're dead.

That sounds a bit like wishful thinking.
It sounds like exactly what Russians had been saying from the outset, apart from dates sliding noticeably, albeit nowhere near as much as F-35 did. They are on record regarding how the first 10 aircraft of the first batch of 12 low-rate initial production aircraft will be delivered with Stage One (AL-41F1) engines while the last two will be built with Stage Two (Item 30) engines. Also Su-57 is getting modified to incorporate all the feed-back Russian Air Force provided after using the LRIP aircraft, including the combat experience.
So I can only wonder why you thing it's wishful thinking.

yeah right
It may not have stealth comparable to the Raptor and Lightning II, but damn well is it gorgeous and its fanbase doesn’t consist of white 9 year olds.
The way Russia produces weapons and make them more reliable is by step by step upgrades. This way the software and other components are not sophisticated at the beginning and it’s easier to identify bugs and deficiencies. If one tries all fully newer systems, points of failure increases dramatically. Very practical people producing very reliable and rugged war machines
Is that why no developed country wants their exported aircraft anymore?
