The SU-57M was just announced. It is equiped with a brand new next-gen Engine, new stealth coat, ai upgrades and a lot more. This is the model the Russian Airforce was waiting for before launching mass production as well as rebuilding and upgrading facilities so they can properly produce it without western equipement. Proper mass production to begin in 2025.
i do not remember where from so take what i say lightly but i seen an image of a display AL-51 with flat nozzles like the f-22. i dont know if this is actually going to be equipped, though i knoe sukhoi wants to. EDIT: this is incorrect. i found the image and it was a chinese WS-10 not an AL-51
Ahh like they boasted it was undetectable to modern radar and Ukrainian air defences pick it up whiles its inside of Russia. Russia lies about nearly everything they produce. Ask India, cChina what they think about Russia's so called stealth.

What I can say is that post-Soviet Russia under the embargo of the US and its allies was very weak even now.

Funny how Western media said the Su-57 is missing in action in Ukraine but the fact its a stealth fighter, if it's detected doing airstrikes or air combat duties, that is a failure. Recently, Turkish intelligence sources claimed that a Su-57 shot down an F-16 from 300km away with their R-37M missile. The F-16 never knew what hit it because the missile uses passive IRST, no active radar detection to warn of the impending doom. The Wall Street Journal backed it up as they said their US military sources said the F-16 was downed by an air-to-air missile, but did not specify which exact type. However, the fact it was shot down well inside Ukraine, means the only air-to-air missile capable is the R-37M, designed for the Su-57. NATO AWACS never saw it.
@@SilverforceX stealth doesn’t mean you cannot detect it, it means it’s hard to lock on. The SU57 is not really stealthy, it has the same radar cross section as the rafale… India went out for a reason, also they have max 6 able to fly. Russia put all specific on paper but reality is very different, plus we have seen how Russian maintenance is…
@@Sebby6666 False, you are repeating common western myths & lies. Scientists have already analyzed the RCS, on approach frontal cone, the Su-57 has the same low RCS as the F-35. It only has "worse RCS" when analyzed from the rear, which is not the Russian doctrine. Their missiles have 300km range air-to-air, they approach & unload, then fly away. NATO air to air range is 120-180km.
Incorrect, that's not how "stealth" works. Its NOT " if it's detected doing airstrikes or air combat duties, that is a failure"... that's not how stealth works or has ever worked. In fact, its fairly simple to "detect" many stealth platforms... however, there's a gigantic cavernous difference between detecting something and getting a weapons grade lock on something. Two completely different things. "Stealth" as a technology simply REDUCES the RANGE in which the aircraft can be targeted and locked by an enemy air defense/aircraft. It does NOT make it "invisible" or "undetectable", like you seem to think it does. While this is a common misconception, its unacceptable to keep repeating this false narrative over and over again to random internet denizens. Stop repeating such falsehoods, it helps no one.
@@Sebby6666 of course you can lock on stealth aircraft. You can watch the interview with the guy who actually had done that. And if you ever come to visit Belgrade, you can see both SAM and leftovers of stealth aircraft in our military museum.

Stealth aircraft are easily tracked and destroyed by most of the Russian S-XXX SAM systems. All these can: S-350, S-400, S-450, S-500 Prometheus, S-550 and soon to be released is S-600, and S-700 is in design stage. Several of these are anti-satellite capable; one is a robot. These SAMs (and Russian fighters) have anti-aircraft missiles that easily outrange any other country so it's unlikely another fighter can live long enough to get close enough to strike. The newer S-XXX systems are now dual role: surface to air AND surface to surface. I highly recommend Andrei Martyanov's four books; particularly "How America Lost the Arms Race" and "America's Final War".

@@Blake_87 That's the thing, what i think will come/be needed, is something with a bit more "oomph" in it. Nothing smaller than a 40mm, most likely a high velocity 57mm. Add programmable ammo to it, like the CV9040 uses for its 40mm gun, and it can destroy drones up to 4-6 km up in the air and at a similar range, by just getting close. Flying higher than that with drones is suuuper-ineffcient and uses up a huge amount of batterypower to reach. Combine it with missiles on a mobile platform with a GOOD sensorsuite and possibly some EW as well and those drones are seriously going to have to work much harder to strike anything. And with a 57mm autocannon with programmable burst, it would be capable of engaging over a dozen drones per minute. Basically, AA as it exists now has moved into a very different direction for logical reasons, which makes them less effective against drones. This would be a complement to regular AA, as it would have a lot of the same capabilities, just switching away from lower caliber cannon so that you can have programmable ammo with enough burst radius to destroy a drone as long as it explodes close enough.

Iv'e seen these in all white and all black paint schemes and gotta admit these are the most badass masculine looking planes I've ever seen. Man, keep all your military tech and just let me fly one around once in a while. What a dream.
A very balanced overview, thank you! A few random points to make: - AFAIK, the Russians place extra premium on speed and manoeuvrability. I kind of understand why. Radars can improve and what was stealthy yesterday may not be that much so today. If you bet on stealth and neglect self-contained performance, you are running the risk of being technologically surpassed and becoming irrelevant. Networking, AI and other, mostly software, capabilities can be upgraded. But you cannot really upgrade an airframe to the same extent. The aircraft is either manoeuvrable or not, the engines intended for it are either capable of crazy performance or not. SU-57 has been designed as an air superiority fighter first and foremost and I seriously doubt any current fighter can beat it in that department: there is simply no reason to think that they would. - I have also read that SU-57 has started production with older, placeholder engines, still very capable, mind you, and that the new Izdeliye-30 engines that the Russians are only just beginning to manufacture, and that were intended to go with SU-57 would boost its performance to the true intended specs. - Money does not always mean better results, it only means more expensive results. A lot of the US tech is extremely expensive, hence the limited quantities, but it does not automatically translate to godlike performance. Don't get me wrong, F-22 and other American tech is most likely quite good overall, although we do not really know since it has never been tested "for real". The point here being that we need to look at objective data rather than extrapolating from arbitrary criteria. Objective data is, of course, scarce, not just for SU-57, but for all modern fighters. - That plane is gorgeous. - The Russians have an overall edge in the missile tech, AFAIK, so SU-57 is unlikely to be outmatched in that department. - The cost of the plane is likely to keep production numbers modest, that mush is true. A SU-35, arguably a cheaper plane to make, numbers in around 120+ units. It is reasonable to assume that SU-57 would be produced in even smaller quantities for the foreseeable future.
the initial su57 engine has a thrust of 15 tons, the f22 has an engine thrust of 15.7 tons. The Su57 compensates for this difference in engine power with lower empty weight. The empty weight of the su57 is 1.2 tons less than the weight of the f22. all these judgments are reliable if you believe the declared characteristics (thrust and empty weight) f22. Su57 with the initial engine has a speed without afterburner of 1350 km/h. with this engine it will be sold for export to the allies. Russian Su57 will be equipped with an engine with a thrust of 18.5 tons. the su57 is also capable of pumping 3 tons more fuel than the f22. therefore the range of the Su57 is longer. Su57 will become the basis for the 6th generation.
@@Rusich945 "Russian Su57 will be equipped with an engine with a thrust of 18.5 tons." Su-57M will be equipped with the new engine. Along with some other minor upgrades.
"AFAIK, the Russians place extra premium on speed and manoeuvrability. I kind of understand why." Yes, very much yes, exactly. This is basically like "fighters wont need guns anymore" argument back when AAMs started being used en masse. Fighters will always need the option of performance and agility, not because it's always needed, but because it's likely to be needed TOO OFTEN to be ignored in the design. "I have also read that SU-57 has started production with older, placeholder engines, still very capable, mind you, and that the new Izdeliye-30 engines that the Russians are only just beginning to manufacture, and that were intended to go with SU-57 would boost its performance to the true intended specs." Correct, the new engines took almost twice as long to develop as the airframe, so they had to use older engines for the first iteration. The first Su-57M prototype with the new engines flew for the first time roughly a year ago. "Money does not always mean better results, it only means more expensive results. A lot of the US tech is extremely expensive, hence the limited quantities, but it does not automatically translate to godlike performance." Yes, yes yes! The western elites doesn't seem to understand that just throwing money at something doesn't automatically make it work well. Especially when they spend the preceeding decade destroying all institutional experience and machinetools. "That plane is gorgeous." TRULY! "The Russians have an overall edge in the missile tech, AFAIK, so SU-57 is unlikely to be outmatched in that department." It's really difficult to get objective data about this, but yeah, the overall impression is that Russia does have the edge. And at least in regards to one technology, we KNOW that the west is having great problems, and that's hypersonics. With the repeated testfailures of the west in this area, this advantage is likely to stay around at least another decade in my opinion. "The cost of the plane is likely to keep production numbers modest, that mush is true. A SU-35, arguably a cheaper plane to make, numbers in around 120+ units. It is reasonable to assume that SU-57 would be produced in even smaller quantities for the foreseeable future." Yes and no. All the wear on the airframes that the war is causing means Russia is going to need to replace a lot of its most used aircraft, and they're probably going to do that by upgrading the average degree of modernisation. So, it is very likely that they're going to keep building Su-35s at current rate for many years, gradually replacing all Su-27s and then intermediate models with them. The current order is for 76 Su-57, but that is despite that the upgraded Su-57M is meant to enter production in 2025, and there's rumor that over 180 of those have already de facto been put on order. So, if things proceed thusly, a total of around 250 Su-57, with likely around twice that of Su-35, while there's still great uncertainty about whether Russia is going to massproduce the MiG-35 or not as a "lowend/light/shortrange" complement to those. The Su-27 series have so far proven itself to be superior enough that Russia may simply keep older models of them as their "lowend" fighter instead of building new MiG-35s. Expect around the same number of "lowends" as Su-35s. And then, there's the riddle of the MiG-31 and potentially coming up with a replacement for it. If they do, they're probably going to aim for a similar number of them as the Su-57s, or less, but probably not less than half, as they need enough to be able to cover large landmasses. There will also be a fair number of Su-34s, which while their primary focus will be as strike planes, will also be quite capable of air to air. Oh, and of course, it is possible that they will have the Su-75 taking over the "lowend" role with maybe half the number of airframes. The 2nd big questionmark is the Su-25, it really needs an upgrade or replacement, but at the same time, there's questions about how much of its roles has been superceeded. It has been very effective at times, they have flown more missions than any other aircraft, but they have also taken the most losses and drones and longrange precision munitions are superior at least half the time...

F22's can't even fight SU-27 / SU-35. One of the only times I heard F22's actually being used was in Syria for ground operations (what we call bomber). But they were in luck, an opportunity came for the F22 to fire a shot in anger as Russia came to Syria and brought their last gen 1980's fighters SU-27 and SU-35's. The exact scenario it was built for finally we'd get to see what a next Gen $700 million dollar top notch fighter can do. The AirForce didn't want any of that noise and immediately withdrew all our F22's and shipped them home. That's how useful F22 actually is, as the most expensive bomber with the smallest payload capacity, operating only after Air Dominance is established against a third world country. How the F22 went from being a joke in public opinion of the US public, after the scandal of AirForce not being allowed to retire them made national news. Well it just happened again, and again AirForce was refused. Instead Congress gave them 10 billion to service just 170 F22's ($60 million increase per plane). That's enough for a brand new F15EX for just 1 year of F22 maintenance. Only now it's not a scandal, now that we built up the bullshit about the F22 being a super weapon it would look awfully bad if we junk them.
Great video, but I would argue that the Su-57 does have the networking capabilities that is on par or even surpasses the J-20, the Russian already has experience working with such system way back in the MiG-31 so I have no doubt that an even more advance system is installed on the Su-57.
Whats to doubt about? U metion it urself, they were the first to have that capabilities back to the 80s. Im pretty sure that whats the Felon has its better that the chines one
I agree. Though having a capability doesn't mean that they have it. You still have to integrate everything and make it work. As having a technology is only half way into integrating it and making it work. Though the Su 57M is the best fighter jet, no doubt about it in my books. There are alot of it's capabilities which are not being talked about despite of them actually being leaked and detailed in a few professional books and articles. Like it having radars all around it's fuselage and not just at the front of the plane. etc

+ A long-range cruise missile for intra-fuselage placement was created for the Su-57. Despite its smaller dimensions, the missile has a range comparable to those products used in long-range aviation on the Tu-95MS and Tu-160 strategic bombers. ++ The Su-57 will operate normally together with the S-70 Okhotnik heavy reconnaissance and strike drones. The remotely controlled device is already among the largest and most powerful drones in the world. Its carrying capacity and the dimensions of the bomb bay allow it to carry any type of aircraft weapons that can be used from Su-57 fighters.
Bro... the Su-57 will definitely NOT "normally" operate "together with the S-70 Okhotnik heavy reconnaissance and strike drones" (not to say that it can't or won't or was designed to operate with it, important difference)... these are 2 COMPLETELY DIFFERENT types of aircraft. While they definitely "can" operate together and their design was made to operate with each other... it will 100% definitely NOT be "normal" for them to operate "together". That's just not how air forces will operate, lol. There's a reason why the US hasn't made flying wing designs as part of their multirole MUMT UCAV designs to interface with their traditional manned stealth fighters (even though they've developed probably a dozen such platforms over the last quarter century). Anyways, perhaps I'm just being a bit too nitpicky with your specific language, but the "will operate normally together" just hit me the wrong way, lol. Again, there's no doubt that they "can" or will operate together, but there will just be nothing "normal" about them operating together (will very much be mission specific).

Giving a drone carrying the same weapons real-time targeting information, isn't rocket science at today's level of technology. It's just that a fighter is used instead of an AWACS. And the drone acts as an additional arsenal for the fighter.
Why do you think the investigation in Ukraine is hiding how the Ukrainian F-16 pilot died? and for another two years of conflict, radars from NATO countries were never able to detect the Su-57 while it was operating in Ukraine, this relates to your question about the effectiveness of its stealth. At the same time, Russian radars detect F-35s flying in the Baltic states several hundred kilometers away and they are immediately intercepted and escorted by duty pilots in Su-30s, this is about the efficiency of the F-35’s stealth.

Russian Su57 will be equipped with an engine with a thrust of 18.5 tons. the su57 is also capable of pumping 3 tons more fuel than the f22. therefore the range of the Su57 is longer. Su57 will become the basis for the 6th generation.
One of the best and balanced videos taking a look at the development of the SU-57. The SU-57 is possible the best looking fast jet in service with any Air force period.
The Su-57 has already been tested and proven its power in real war and has obtained many improvements to be respected and been very well feared by enemy
Посмотрел это видео до конца. Полная, абсолютная ерунда. Чистейшая не замутненная пропаганда. Основной тезис Су57 сильно похож и сопоставим с F22, только он дешевле в 20 раз, радары у него лучше, летает лучше (и не сказано что он ведет дроны) а так похож. А то, что F35 это Як141 украденый при Ельцине про это не слово, там вот существенно больше схожих решений и элементов.

@@Wargasm54 "In maneuverability, the SU-57. In beyond visual range, the F-35." Completely false. The F-35 has almost ZERO antistealth capability. While the Su-57 has the same setup that allowed the S-400 to lock on F-22s and F-35s in Syria at beyond AMRAAM range when USA was trying to sneak past. And the Su-57 also has the same additional upgrades that makes the S-500 even better at seeing through stealth. Most likely, in a 1 on 1, the F-35 dies before he even knows where the Su-57 is. And in a many vs many, it gets WORSE, because the Su-57 datalink is far better overall and also uses the "distributed radar/sensor array" tech to make all radars(and other sensors) function as a single, vastly more effective one(F-35 was originally supposed to have this capability as well, but so far, it still hasn't happened more than to a limited extent). F-35 lacks performance. F-35 lacks agility. F-35 stealth is mostly "ignored" by a modern sensor platform like the Su-57... The F-35 was clearly developed to curbstomp 4th rate enemies that can't defend themselves. Against a nearpeer with modern equipment, it's really not up to the task, even if it would still be reasonably effective(but not compared to having 2-3 times as many cheaper aircraft). And against a peer 5th gen, it's in deep dodo.
You are Australian. F-22 and F-35 are also "foreign designs" to you. Just because you are someones colony, doesn't mean that what's theirs it's also yours. It only works in opposite direction.
Thanks for a balanced review. It is very rare these days on UA-cam. I am not sure why you think the SU-57 has networking issues, It doesn't. It can be used as an AWACS and has been at times in the Ukraine war. It also got a new AI based communication system in 2023 to improve networking ability. Lastly with the new AL-51F1 engine it's supercruise ability is Mach 1.8-2, top speed 2.3+ and T/W 1.46 at combat weight. With increase in range to 3750km
@@JohnDorian-j7x Su-57 and F-22 are around the same size. It's normal for frontline multirole fighters to be bigger and equipped with heavier engines in order to have better payload and combat range. The same logic applies to motorcycles with bigger CC engines in order to get better performance and speed. Also, the sleek design and internal weapons bay are meant to make the aircraft more aerodynamic, similar to F1 cars in theory. So, it can be considered a "sports car" of fighter jets.
@@ViolentCabbage-ym7ko Bro... the F-22 is already huge... the Su-57 is even BIGGER! There's no way to call that "sporty", especially if you're not gonna call the F-22 even more of a "sports car" like jet than the Su-57. I assume you wouldn't call the B-2 bomber "sporty" either, so why then this? Also, for fighter jets, these "equipped with heavier engines in order to have better payload and combat range" are most often antithetical to one another, not synergous. Also, jet engines are specifically made for the types of regimes or environment they're supposed to operate in... of which, performance and efficiency are on two opposite ends. There's a specific reason why the F-22 was made, and that's not because its a "multirole" fighter, even though it can be used for that. Likewise, there's a specific reason why the Su-57 was made, and it wasn't specifically for "multirole" either (also, the whole "multirole" thing is far less important today than historically, since essentially all non-bombers/recon/drones are assumed to be "multirole" in this day and age). These are first and foremost air superiority fighters. Also, "the sleek design and internal weapons bay are meant to make the aircraft more aerodynamic, similar to F1 cars in theory"... you literally just described aerodynamics, lol... of course the sleeker and smoother an airplane is the better... but if that was the definitive aspect of "sports car", then you'd describe the delta dart or another half dozen airframes that were far "sleeker" and "sporty" like the sr-71 or x-15. But that's not the point for why any of these 5th gen fighters have "internal weapons bays", its specifically for stealth characteristics, and not for aero. Look, at the end of the day, its a good enough looking plane all on its own. You don't have to give it superlatives it doesn't need or deserve just to make it sound better. If you're not gonna call the F-22 even sportier or the YF-23 even sportier or potentially another one or two systems, then you shouldn't call the su-57 sporty. Like I said, its a good enough looking jet on its own. Making up adjectives to hype it up is unnecessary.
@@JohnDorian-j7x Su-57 is slightly bigger than F-22. The data is taken from Simple Flying. Your argument that sporty vehicles must be small for some reason is ridiculous.

@@ViolentCabbage-ym7ko every dimension shown here shows that the Su-57 is "even bigger" than the F-22, which is already HUGE. Don't know what you're attempting to say about that. Also, maybe we're just comparing each other's apples to oranges (comparing cars to aviation to sports to etc etc), as far as I think, the "sports" part of "sportswear" for clothes also should follow your logic for "The term "sports" in racing refers to race drivers being physically and mentally exhausted", even though most people don't do any of that in "sportswear" clothing and just wear them casually... same for the majority of "sportscars", they're just driven following the laws of the road... etc. Do you think the Su-57 looks more "sporty" than the F-22?
Thank you for the nuanced presentation of the Su-57, I appreciate that the video highlights there is a lack of data concerning the Su-57 and doesn't try to infer more than it could. I'm interested in what the channel did infer from Air Power Australia's analysis of the Su-57.
Vous êtes des hypocrites. Car vous demandez des preuves quand il s'agit des armes russes, mais jamais des preuves quand il s'agit des armes américaines.
1. note the L band radars on the levcons are not for actually tracking targets, the energy required for that would be highly futuristic 2. the statement on networking is weird considering it has shown to already pilot the s 70 3. it also has a rear radar, not just the 2 side radars and frontal radar
The L band radars on the leading edge are generally considered to be a part of the active radar system, not IFF. There's a great video out there from a guy called Millennium 7 that's covers the publicly known parts of the Su 57 in depth, he seems more knowledgeable than your average person covering the Su 57, especially within the confines of radar technology and physics
@@Vex-777 interesting ill look into the channel recommendation. while the L band radar would be highly useful for stealth detection, i question the power that would be required for it to work at a decent range.
SU-57 by far has the most advanced and useful characteristics in terms of active range of radar capability, stealth features, sophisticated attack munitions, and ability to operate in tandem with advanced drones such as Hunter drone. So, there's nothing even close to this that could compete even in near future. The SU-57 early variants are not even what will be mass produced later. Russia uses current models as operational combat test platforms improving and adding constantly. Nobody even knowns in the open public space what exact characteristics and features will be in the final product.
Thank you for being realistic in your interpretations, and respecting a potential rival without childish propaganda. Much appreciated. I have huge respect for Russia's air platforms.
yes that is right with the advancement in radar technologies stealth is obsolete. unless they find never before found material which can be used in development of absorbing coating. The stealth has reached its peak. In summary, while stealth will still be an important aspect of next-generation fighter design, the us military is prioritizing a more balanced set of capabilities, including range, speed, payload, sensors, and AI-enabled unmanned systems, to achieve air superiority in a contested environment
It's a Beautiful aircraft, such elegance, majesty and stability at the same time. If I were to design a Commercial airliner I'd start with this form and take it from there; blended wing is the way to go
After receiving 27 production unit other than 9 prototypes, Russian airforce has stopped accepting further aircrafts because of new engine. They say new su57 should be inducted with al51 stealth engines rather than al41 used currently shared from su35. As per reports al51 stealth engine which is a secret project will be ready till December this year and induction will start from next year 1st or 2nd quarter. Till then komsomolsk-on-amur plant which makes su57 will make airframes and store it till new engine is ready so as soon it is they can add a huge aircraft number in a small duration
That's not correct. Russian combat doctrine is a multi-prong approach. Make enemy fly through ever-moving SAM net where one is targeted from different directions and missiles come from different direction compared to illumination. Then long-range missile fire from interceptors and then medium and close range from fighters. Russians had been working on air superiority against a peer opponent for decades. So they decided to target enemy aircraft from both in front, above and below. Meaning they achieve air superiority slightly differently, but they certainly know how to fight in the air. In Ukraine today Russians have TOTAL air dominance.
Seriously, think about that statement for a minute! Air superiority is not just a US doctrine. LOL Air superiority means that one side holds control of air power over the enemy. This can be achieved by Anti-Aircraft Systems as well. An example would be Russia possesses air superiority over its own territory and some portions of the battle space in Ukraine. Air superiority and Air Dominance are two different things. Air dominance means you have Air superiority and in addition you can fly anywhere in the enemy's airspace uncontested and complete your mission. So Air dominance is a step above air superiority.
@gags730 think of it this way while the US have been pursuing the pinnacle in fighter jets Russia have been invested in taking them out the sky we all know war is fought on land in the sky on the sea under the sea and ever under ground lately Hell whatever it takes to defeat the enemy But the strength of the Russian military does not depend on air superiority alone NATO lost in Ukraine because they can not and will not establish air superiority NATOs war doctrine is and was developed by the USA
The engines will be getting a major upgrade soon and the air to air missiles will get another upgrade in range. The thing with Russia is they have a very good multi-layer air defense system. And they have shown in Ukraine that a ground to air missile can be launched and directed by aircraft to the target aircraft and get a kill. And the ranges involved are getting crazy.
@@alberthenriette8976 It is still in production. Especially the Turkish jet. The project was started in 2010. I think it is a great success in 14 years. 🤔
The Su57 is probably the most combat-proven of the fifth-generation fighter. It has reportedly been responsible for several successful aerial battles, and there have been a number of KH69 missiles associated with this aircraft in Ukraine
*💯SU-57 💎AMAZiNG💎* Russia will soon release, as we know, a new heavy fighter, the Mig 41. Which will have a speed above sound, namely Mach 5. And also one that will be able to shoot down super-sonic missiles and be maximum invisible to radars and satellites❗️
Let's be clear on one point, Russia didn't "annex" Crimea in 2014, Crimean's had a democratic vote, somewhat reactionary to the US backed regime change of the Ukraine. They didn't want Nuland's cookies and were most likely upset by the continual shelling of civilians in the Donbas by the US/UK backed Banderivtsi AZOV regiment. Ukraine to this day says it wishes to liberate the Crimean's while at the same time targeting Crimean civilian targets... in their latest psyop against the Crimean's they telephoned thousands of men saying they were the Russian government and that they had been mobilised by President Putin. This was an attempt to cause dissent with Russia yet it backed fired when thousands reported for duty, ready and willing to fight. 😂
August 26th 2024, a F16 Viper Block 70/72 aircraft flown by Ukrainian Pilot code named Moon Fish was shotdown by a R 37m long range missile fired from a SU 57 flying from Crimea. The missile was launched at 270km making it the longest air to air kill in air combat history. The SU 57 has shotdown numerous Ukrainian and Bucharest Nine (NATO) Su 27 and other Soviet era Aircrafts on numerous occassions since 2022. There is a reason why the SU 57 hasnt been recorded as the Culprit for shooting down enemy aircrafts and confirmed by the Russians, the reason is simple.....Theyre Stealth Fighter aircrafts whose primary function is to not be detected by ENEMY Radar systems. The West will always deny the role of the SU 57 because they never detected them. Going to the Russian Government official public releases, you will see President Putin pinning medals on the uniforms of Russian SU 57 Fighter Pilots. There is s clue in there somewhere. 😂😉

0:25 HOW tf is South Korea's KF-21 has the best technology? It doesn't even have an internal weapons bay. It carries missiles in recessed notches, exposing it to enemy radars.
Because even with the "recessed notches", the radar signatures of the KF-21 is still significantly smaller than the Su-57's. For whatever reason, the Russian design team didn't really focus on the "stealth" part of the Su-57... which is supposedly the entire point of "5th gen" aircraft. But also, that particular reason was not the reason(s) why the author said it has the "best technology".
@@JohnDorian-j7x That's rubbish. It's obvious that Sukhoi took "inspirations" from the F-22. Hence why it looks so similar. If F-22 is a stealth design, it makes no sense for you to say that the design team did not focus on stealth.
@@ViolentCabbage-ym7ko I'm not saying they didn't focus on stealth at all... just that they didn't focus as much on the stealth aspect as the US did. Its still "lower" observable, but its not classically "low" observable like the F-22, F-35, B-2, etc. The Russian team, whilst first and foremost focusing on cost, chose to focus more on other aspects that often directly competed directly against the "stealth" aspect of their jet, in exchange for better characteristics in "other" aspects of their platform.

Funny how Western media said the Su-57 is missing in action in Ukraine but the fact its a stealth fighter, if it's detected doing airstrikes or air combat duties, that is a failure. Recently, Turkish intelligence sources claimed that a Su-57 shot down an F-16 from 300km away with their R-37M missile. The F-16 never knew what hit it because the missile uses passive IRST, no active radar detection to warn of the impending doom. The Wall Street Journal backed it up as they said their US military sources said the F-16 was downed by an air-to-air missile, but did not specify which exact type. However, the fact it was shot down well inside Ukraine, means the only air-to-air missile capable is the R-37M, designed for the Su-57. NATO AWACS never saw it.
@@SilverforceX stealth doesn’t mean you cannot detect it, it means it’s hard to lock on.

@@Sebby6666 False, you are repeating common western myths & lies. Scientists have already analyzed the RCS, on approach frontal cone, the Su-57 has the same low RCS as the F-35.

NATO air to air range is 120-180km.

Incorrect, that's not how "stealth" works. Its NOT " if it's detected doing airstrikes or air combat duties, that is a failure"... that's not how stealth works or has ever worked. In fact, its fairly simple to "detect" many stealth platforms... however, there's a gigantic cavernous difference between detecting something and getting a weapons grade lock on something. Two completely different things. "Stealth" as a technology simply REDUCES the RANGE in which the aircraft can be targeted and locked by an enemy air defense/aircraft. It does NOT make it "invisible" or "undetectable", like you seem to think it does. While this is a common misconception, its unacceptable to keep repeating this false narrative over and over again to random internet denizens. Stop repeating such falsehoods, it helps no one.
@@Sebby6666 of course you can lock on stealth aircraft. You can watch the interview with the guy who actually had done that. And if you ever come to visit Belgrade, you can see both SAM and leftovers of stealth aircraft in our military museum.
The first combat sorties of the Su-57 aircraft, then still PAK-FA, were in Syria in 2016.
All Russian fighter jets are engaged in active combat, vs U.S and NATO missiles. This is not theoretical, it's a real war.
Gli aerei Russi non si avvicinano al territorio Ucraino..quando lo fanno vengono abbattuti...lanciano i missili dal territorio Russo
They rotate squadrons in and out. Over time the entirety of Russian Air Force has been through Syria, and same is likely to be true about Ukraine.
But NOT 1 NATO fighter jest is engaged (so it is proxy war at most).

Stealth aircraft are easily tracked and destroyed by most of the Russian S-XXX SAM systems. All these can: S-350, S-400, S-450, S-500 Prometheus, S-550 and soon to be released is S-600, and S-700 is in design stage. Several of these are anti-satellite capable; one is a robot. These SAMs (and Russian fighters) have anti-aircraft missiles that easily outrange any other country so it's unlikely another fighter can live long enough to get close enough to strike. The newer S-XXX systems are now dual role: surface to air AND surface to surface. I highly recommend Andrei Martyanov's four books; particularly "How America Lost the Arms Race" and "America's Final War".
@@stickermigtigger True, then we have drones. Those pesky bastards, would be a problem for everyone moving forwards, cheap, fast drones mixed with cruise missiles would take a shit ton of launchers to defend against.
@@Blake_87 Probably going to need a much wider proliferation of light point defence gun/missile airdefence platforms, maybe with basic area EW slapped on, to deal with drones.
@@DIREWOLFx75 even the Chinese recently despite their own expertise in drones in the commercial and military sectors acknowledged recently how difficult it is to defend against drones effectively. If you build stationary defenses, they’ll be destroyed, and they can fly higher than those guns can reach, probably till we get better Laser guns
@@Blake_87 That's the thing, what i think will come/be needed, is something with a bit more "oomph" in it.
Nothing smaller than a 40mm, most likely a high velocity 57mm. Add programmable ammo to it, like the CV9040 uses for its 40mm gun, and it can destroy drones up to 4-6 km up in the air and at a similar range, by just getting close.
Flying higher than that with drones is suuuper-ineffcient and uses up a huge amount of batterypower to reach.
Combine it with missiles on a mobile platform with a GOOD sensorsuite and possibly some EW as well and those drones are seriously going to have to work much harder to strike anything.
And with a 57mm autocannon with programmable burst, it would be capable of engaging over a dozen drones per minute.
Basically, AA as it exists now has moved into a very different direction for logical reasons, which makes them less effective against drones.
This would be a complement to regular AA, as it would have a lot of the same capabilities, just switching away from lower caliber cannon so that you can have programmable ammo with enough burst radius to destroy a drone as long as it explodes close enough.

Thank you for a balanced and objective review without pushing any marketing, propaganda or hubris, so prominent among the modern commentators.
A very balanced overview, thank you! A few random points to make:
- AFAIK, the Russians place extra premium on speed and manoeuvrability. I kind of understand why. Radars can improve and what was stealthy yesterday may not be that much so today. If you bet on stealth and neglect self-contained performance, you are running the risk of being technologically surpassed and becoming irrelevant. Networking, AI and other, mostly software, capabilities can be upgraded. But you cannot really upgrade an airframe to the same extent. The aircraft is either manoeuvrable or not, the engines intended for it are either capable of crazy performance or not. SU-57 has been designed as an air superiority fighter first and foremost and I seriously doubt any current fighter can beat it in that department: there is simply no reason to think that they would.
- I have also read that SU-57 has started production with older, placeholder engines, still very capable, mind you, and that the new Izdeliye-30 engines that the Russians are only just beginning to manufacture, and that were intended to go with SU-57 would boost its performance to the true intended specs.
- Money does not always mean better results, it only means more expensive results. A lot of the US tech is extremely expensive, hence the limited quantities, but it does not automatically translate to godlike performance. Don't get me wrong, F-22 and other American tech is most likely quite good overall, although we do not really know since it has never been tested "for real". The point here being that we need to look at objective data rather than extrapolating from arbitrary criteria. Objective data is, of course, scarce, not just for SU-57, but for all modern fighters.
- That plane is gorgeous.
- The Russians have an overall edge in the missile tech, AFAIK, so SU-57 is unlikely to be outmatched in that department.
- The cost of the plane is likely to keep production numbers modest, that mush is true. A SU-35, arguably a cheaper plane to make, numbers in around 120+ units. It is reasonable to assume that SU-57 would be produced in even smaller quantities for the foreseeable future.
the initial su57 engine has a thrust of 15 tons, the f22 has an engine thrust of 15.7 tons. The Su57 compensates for this difference in engine power with lower empty weight. The empty weight of the su57 is 1.2 tons less than the weight of the f22. all these judgments are reliable if you believe the declared characteristics (thrust and empty weight) f22. Su57 with the initial engine has a speed without afterburner of 1350 km/h. with this engine it will be sold for export to the allies. Russian Su57 will be equipped with an engine with a thrust of 18.5 tons. the su57 is also capable of pumping 3 tons more fuel than the f22. therefore the range of the Su57 is longer. Su57 will become the basis for the 6th generation.
первый пункт справедлив,су 35 ушел от 3 ракет патриот на украине
@@Rusich945 "Russian Su57 will be equipped with an engine with a thrust of 18.5 tons."
Su-57M will be equipped with the new engine. Along with some other minor upgrades.
"AFAIK, the Russians place extra premium on speed and manoeuvrability. I kind of understand why."
Yes, very much yes, exactly. This is basically like "fighters wont need guns anymore" argument back when AAMs started being used en masse.
Fighters will always need the option of performance and agility, not because it's always needed, but because it's likely to be needed TOO OFTEN to be ignored in the design.
"I have also read that SU-57 has started production with older, placeholder engines, still very capable, mind you, and that the new Izdeliye-30 engines that the Russians are only just beginning to manufacture, and that were intended to go with SU-57 would boost its performance to the true intended specs."
Correct, the new engines took almost twice as long to develop as the airframe, so they had to use older engines for the first iteration.
The first Su-57M prototype with the new engines flew for the first time roughly a year ago.
"Money does not always mean better results, it only means more expensive results. A lot of the US tech is extremely expensive, hence the limited quantities, but it does not automatically translate to godlike performance."
Yes, yes yes! The western elites doesn't seem to understand that just throwing money at something doesn't automatically make it work well.
Especially when they spend the preceeding decade destroying all institutional experience and machinetools.
"That plane is gorgeous."
TRULY!
"The Russians have an overall edge in the missile tech, AFAIK, so SU-57 is unlikely to be outmatched in that department."
It's really difficult to get objective data about this, but yeah, the overall impression is that Russia does have the edge. And at least in regards to one technology, we KNOW that the west is having great problems, and that's hypersonics. With the repeated testfailures of the west in this area, this advantage is likely to stay around at least another decade in my opinion.
"The cost of the plane is likely to keep production numbers modest, that mush is true. A SU-35, arguably a cheaper plane to make, numbers in around 120+ units. It is reasonable to assume that SU-57 would be produced in even smaller quantities for the foreseeable future."
Yes and no.
All the wear on the airframes that the war is causing means Russia is going to need to replace a lot of its most used aircraft, and they're probably going to do that by upgrading the average degree of modernisation.
So, it is very likely that they're going to keep building Su-35s at current rate for many years, gradually replacing all Su-27s and then intermediate models with them.
The current order is for 76 Su-57, but that is despite that the upgraded Su-57M is meant to enter production in 2025, and there's rumor that over 180 of those have already de facto been put on order.
So, if things proceed thusly, a total of around 250 Su-57, with likely around twice that of Su-35, while there's still great uncertainty about whether Russia is going to massproduce the MiG-35 or not as a "lowend/light/shortrange" complement to those.
The Su-27 series have so far proven itself to be superior enough that Russia may simply keep older models of them as their "lowend" fighter instead of building new MiG-35s. Expect around the same number of "lowends" as Su-35s.
And then, there's the riddle of the MiG-31 and potentially coming up with a replacement for it. If they do, they're probably going to aim for a similar number of them as the Su-57s, or less, but probably not less than half, as they need enough to be able to cover large landmasses.
There will also be a fair number of Su-34s, which while their primary focus will be as strike planes, will also be quite capable of air to air.
Oh, and of course, it is possible that they will have the Su-75 taking over the "lowend" role with maybe half the number of airframes.
The 2nd big questionmark is the Su-25, it really needs an upgrade or replacement, but at the same time, there's questions about how much of its roles has been superceeded. It has been very effective at times, they have flown more missions than any other aircraft, but they have also taken the most losses and drones and longrange precision munitions are superior at least half the time...

2. Российская военная промышленность отличается от западной, она в основном принадлежит государству, поэтому должна быть постоянно загружена. Я уверен, что после су-57М будет Су-57С и т.д. Со временем эти машины заменят и Су-35, но это вопрос десятилетий.

F22's can't even fight SU-27 / SU-35. One of the only times I heard F22's actually being used was in Syria for ground operations (what we call bomber). But they were in luck, an opportunity came for the F22 to fire a shot in anger as Russia came to Syria and brought their last gen 1980's fighters SU-27 and SU-35's. The exact scenario it was built for finally we'd get to see what a next Gen $700 million dollar top notch fighter can do. The AirForce didn't want any of that noise and immediately withdrew all our F22's and shipped them home. That's how useful F22 actually is, as the most expensive bomber with the smallest payload capacity, operating only after Air Dominance is established against a third world country.
How the F22 went from being a joke in public opinion of the US public, after the scandal of AirForce not being allowed to retire them made national news. Well it just happened again, and again AirForce was refused. Instead Congress gave them 10 billion to service just 170 F22's ($60 million increase per plane). That's enough for a brand new F15EX for just 1 year of F22 maintenance.
Only now it's not a scandal, now that we built up the bullshit about the F22 being a super weapon it would look awfully bad if we junk them.
One thing is undeniable, since the 1990’s the Russians have blown away the competition in beauty.
Great video, but I would argue that the Su-57 does have the networking capabilities that is on par or even surpasses the J-20, the Russian already has experience working with such system way back in the MiG-31 so I have no doubt that an even more advance system is installed on the Su-57.
Whats to doubt about? U metion it urself, they were the first to have that capabilities back to the 80s. Im pretty sure that whats the Felon has its better that the chines one
I agree. Though having a capability doesn't mean that they have it. You still have to integrate everything and make it work. As having a technology is only half way into integrating it and making it work. Though the Su 57M is the best fighter jet, no doubt about it in my books. There are alot of it's capabilities which are not being talked about despite of them actually being leaked and detailed in a few professional books and articles. Like it having radars all around it's fuselage and not just at the front of the plane. etc
Could you do a history on the rise and fall of Commonwealth Aircraft Corporation? My grandfather worked on the Wirraway production line during the war.

Su-57 and F-22 are both beautiful aircrafts. Let's hope that we will NEVER know which one is better IRL.
It’s quite interesting that people always talk about German engineering this and that but Russian engineering and always has been exceptional. Everything is over designed. When it comes to mechanics, they definitely have the cutting edge over the Germans and even the Americans.
+ A long-range cruise missile for intra-fuselage placement was created for the Su-57. Despite its smaller dimensions, the missile has a range comparable to those products used in long-range aviation on the Tu-95MS and Tu-160 strategic bombers.
++ The Su-57 will operate normally together with the S-70 Okhotnik heavy reconnaissance and strike drones. The remotely controlled device is already among the largest and most powerful drones in the world. Its carrying capacity and the dimensions of the bomb bay allow it to carry any type of aircraft weapons that can be used from Su-57 fighters.
Bro... the Su-57 will definitely NOT "normally" operate "together with the S-70 Okhotnik heavy reconnaissance and strike drones" (not to say that it can't or won't or was designed to operate with it, important difference)... these are 2 COMPLETELY DIFFERENT types of aircraft. While they definitely "can" operate together and their design was made to operate with each other... it will 100% definitely NOT be "normal" for them to operate "together". That's just not how air forces will operate, lol. There's a reason why the US hasn't made flying wing designs as part of their multirole MUMT UCAV designs to interface with their traditional manned stealth fighters (even though they've developed probably a dozen such platforms over the last quarter century). Anyways, perhaps I'm just being a bit too nitpicky with your specific language, but the "will operate normally together" just hit me the wrong way, lol. Again, there's no doubt that they "can" or will operate together, but there will just be nothing "normal" about them operating together (will very much be mission specific).
@@JohnDorian-j7x The United States is not the world, lol. Other countries' air forces operate based on their own concepts and capabilities. And just because the United States doesn't use something doesn't mean others can't or can't do it. The world isn't just the United States.
Giving a drone carrying the same weapons real-time targeting information, isn't rocket science at today's level of technology. It's just that a fighter is used instead of an AWACS. And the drone acts as an additional arsenal for the fighter.

The F-35 has almost ZERO antistealth capability.
While the Su-57 has the same setup that allowed the S-400 to lock on F-22s and F-35s in Syria at beyond AMRAAM range when USA was trying to sneak past.
And the Su-57 also has the same additional upgrades that makes the S-500 even better at seeing through stealth.

And in a many vs many, it gets WORSE, because the Su-57 datalink is far better overall and also uses the "distributed radar/sensor array" tech to make all radars(and other sensors) function as a single, vastly more effective one(F-35 was originally supposed to have this capability as well, but so far, it still hasn't happened more than to a limited extent).
F-35 lacks performance.
F-35 lacks agility.
F-35 stealth is mostly "ignored" by a modern sensor platform like the Su-57...
The F-35 was clearly developed to curbstomp 4th rate enemies that can't defend themselves. Against a nearpeer with modern equipment, it's really not up to the task, even if it would still be reasonably effective(but not compared to having 2-3 times as many cheaper aircraft). And against a peer 5th gen, it's in deep dodo.
According to RIA, max speed is mach 2.45.
If i had to choose among all the crafts I'll choose SU57 , its amazing!
You are Australian. F-22 and F-35 are also "foreign designs" to you.
Just because you are someones colony, doesn't mean that what's theirs it's also yours. It only works in opposite direction.
Thanks for a balanced review. It is very rare these days on UA-cam.
I am not sure why you think the SU-57 has networking issues, It doesn't. It can be used as an AWACS and has been at times in the Ukraine war. It also got a new AI based communication system in 2023 to improve networking ability. Lastly with the new AL-51F1 engine it's supercruise ability is Mach 1.8-2, top speed 2.3+ and T/W 1.46 at combat weight. With increase in range to 3750km
agreed, its hard to find an actual review when everyone is doing biased review
Not yet in production
What is not yet in production
@@chadbernard2641 the AL-51 engine and I don’t think their AESA is in full production either do to budget constraints in development.
They are both in full production. I do know the facilities may be in need of upgrades. But it's definitely not a money problem.
Felon is a badass name, and it looks like a "sports" fighter jet
More like a Cadillac. Or even just a truck. The Su-57 is literally ginormous. Definitely not a sports car of fighter jet, lol.
@@JohnDorian-j7x Su-57 and F-22 are around the same size. It's normal for frontline multirole fighters to be bigger and equipped with heavier engines in order to have better payload and combat range. The same logic applies to motorcycles with bigger CC engines in order to get better performance and speed. Also, the sleek design and internal weapons bay are meant to make the aircraft more aerodynamic, similar to F1 cars in theory. So, it can be considered a "sports car" of fighter jets.
@@ViolentCabbage-ym7ko Bro... the F-22 is already huge... the Su-57 is even BIGGER! There's no way to call that "sporty", especially if you're not gonna call the F-22 even more of a "sports car" like jet than the Su-57. I assume you wouldn't call the B-2 bomber "sporty" either, so why then this?
Also, for fighter jets, these "equipped with heavier engines in order to have better payload and combat range" are most often antithetical to one another, not synergous. Also, jet engines are specifically made for the types of regimes or environment they're supposed to operate in... of which, performance and efficiency are on two opposite ends. There's a specific reason why the F-22 was made, and that's not because its a "multirole" fighter, even though it can be used for that. Likewise, there's a specific reason why the Su-57 was made, and it wasn't specifically for "multirole" either (also, the whole "multirole" thing is far less important today than historically, since essentially all non-bombers/recon/drones are assumed to be "multirole" in this day and age). These are first and foremost air superiority fighters.
Also, "the sleek design and internal weapons bay are meant to make the aircraft more aerodynamic, similar to F1 cars in theory"... you literally just described aerodynamics, lol... of course the sleeker and smoother an airplane is the better... but if that was the definitive aspect of "sports car", then you'd describe the delta dart or another half dozen airframes that were far "sleeker" and "sporty" like the sr-71 or x-15. But that's not the point for why any of these 5th gen fighters have "internal weapons bays", its specifically for stealth characteristics, and not for aero.
Look, at the end of the day, its a good enough looking plane all on its own. You don't have to give it superlatives it doesn't need or deserve just to make it sound better. If you're not gonna call the F-22 even sportier or the YF-23 even sportier or potentially another one or two systems, then you shouldn't call the su-57 sporty. Like I said, its a good enough looking jet on its own. Making up adjectives to hype it up is unnecessary.
@@JohnDorian-j7x Su-57 is slightly bigger than F-22. The data is taken from Simple Flying. Your argument that sporty vehicles must be small for some reason is ridiculous. The term "sports" in racing refers to race drivers being physically and mentally exhausted after a race as it requires a lot of focus and fitness to handle powerful engines or machines for long durations such as F1 cars and MotoGP bikes. Essentially, any form of vehicle can be considered "sports" if it requires skills and challenge the physical and mental limits of a human with elements of competition where rules apply and governing body for the activity exist formally.

@@ViolentCabbage-ym7ko every dimension shown here shows that the Su-57 is "even bigger" than the F-22, which is already HUGE. Don't know what you're attempting to say about that. Also, maybe we're just comparing each other's apples to oranges (comparing cars to aviation to sports to etc etc), as far as I think, the "sports" part of "sportswear" for clothes also should follow your logic for "The term "sports" in racing refers to race drivers being physically and mentally exhausted", even though most people don't do any of that in "sportswear" clothing and just wear them casually... same for the majority of "sportscars", they're just driven following the laws of the road... etc. Do you think the Su-57 looks more "sporty" than the F-22?
Excellent video, thanks!
First time on your channel. Amazing pics and very interessting. Thank you!
It's such a beautiful machine
Thank you for the nuanced presentation of the Su-57, I appreciate that the video highlights there is a lack of data concerning the Su-57 and doesn't try to infer more than it could. I'm interested in what the channel did infer from Air Power Australia's analysis of the Su-57.
Vous êtes des hypocrites. Car vous demandez des preuves quand il s'agit des armes russes, mais jamais des preuves quand il s'agit des armes américaines.
@@Sauvé33 Do you want to elaborate on what they take for granted in US weapons?
Между строк понял, что су 57 - это хороший...
1. note the L band radars on the levcons are not for actually tracking targets, the energy required for that would be highly futuristic
2. the statement on networking is weird considering it has shown to already pilot the s 70
3. it also has a rear radar, not just the 2 side radars and frontal radar
The L band radars on the leading edge are generally considered to be a part of the active radar system, not IFF. There's a great video out there from a guy called Millennium 7 that's covers the publicly known parts of the Su 57 in depth, he seems more knowledgeable than your average person covering the Su 57, especially within the confines of radar technology and physics
@@Vex-777 interesting ill look into the channel recommendation. while the L band radar would be highly useful for stealth detection, i question the power that would be required for it to work at a decent range.
SU-57 by far has the most advanced and useful characteristics in terms of active range of radar capability, stealth features, sophisticated attack munitions, and ability to operate in tandem with advanced drones such as Hunter drone. So, there's nothing even close to this that could compete even in near future. The SU-57 early variants are not even what will be mass produced later. Russia uses current models as operational combat test platforms improving and adding constantly. Nobody even knowns in the open public space what exact characteristics and features will be in the final product.
Thank you for being realistic in your interpretations, and respecting a potential rival without childish propaganda. Much appreciated. I have huge respect for Russia's air platforms.
I believe 2 have been damaged on the runway by the Ukraine so probably more like 20 but it's really unknown.
as someone who worked on 35s...
i just think its neat :)
Wow, I envy that! Su-35 is a fave of mine
Not expert and unable to comment on the subject but very much thankful for unbiased opinion. Thanks for sharing.
Wow. Stumbled upon this channel and what amazing work gentlemen! Great content covering such wide array of areas...
Brilliant content and production.
Su-57 cruise speed is 2M, max speed 2.45M
Recently I've heard claims that stealth is not considered as important as it once thought to be, due the progress in radar technologies.
yes that is right with the advancement in radar technologies stealth is obsolete. unless they find never before found material which can be used in development of absorbing coating. The stealth has reached its peak.
In summary, while stealth will still be an important aspect of next-generation fighter design, the us military is prioritizing a more balanced set of capabilities, including range, speed, payload, sensors, and AI-enabled unmanned systems, to achieve air superiority in a contested environment
It's a Beautiful aircraft, such elegance, majesty and stability at the same time. If I were to design a Commercial airliner I'd start with this form and take it from there; blended wing is the way to go
After receiving 27 production unit other than 9 prototypes, Russian airforce has stopped accepting further aircrafts because of new engine. They say new su57 should be inducted with al51 stealth engines rather than al41 used currently shared from su35. As per reports al51 stealth engine which is a secret project will be ready till December this year and induction will start from next year 1st or 2nd quarter. Till then komsomolsk-on-amur plant which makes su57 will make airframes and store it till new engine is ready so as soon it is they can add a huge aircraft number in a small duration
Russian combat doctrine depends more on air defense systems than finding air superiority
Air superiority is a US doctrine
Air superiority literally means dominance of the sky and that can be achieved with both SAM and fighter jets.
That's not correct. Russian combat doctrine is a multi-prong approach. Make enemy fly through ever-moving SAM net where one is targeted from different directions and missiles come from different direction compared to illumination. Then long-range missile fire from interceptors and then medium and close range from fighters. Russians had been working on air superiority against a peer opponent for decades. So they decided to target enemy aircraft from both in front, above and below. Meaning they achieve air superiority slightly differently, but they certainly know how to fight in the air. In Ukraine today Russians have TOTAL air dominance.
Seriously, think about that statement for a minute! Air superiority is not just a US doctrine. LOL
Air superiority means that one side holds control of air power over the enemy. This can be achieved by Anti-Aircraft Systems as well. An example would be Russia possesses air superiority over its own territory and some portions of the battle space in Ukraine.
Air superiority and Air Dominance are two different things. Air dominance means you have Air superiority and in addition you can fly anywhere in the enemy's airspace uncontested and complete your mission. So Air dominance is a step above air superiority.
That's right. One is geared at stealing the resources of other countries in the name of freedom. While the other focuses on territorial defense.
@gags730 think of it this way while the US have been pursuing the pinnacle in fighter jets Russia have been invested in taking them out the sky we all know war is fought on land in the sky on the sea under the sea and ever under ground lately
Hell whatever it takes to defeat the enemy
But the strength of the Russian military does not depend on air superiority alone
NATO lost in Ukraine because they can not and will not establish air superiority
NATOs war doctrine is and was developed by the USA
The engines will be getting a major upgrade soon and the air to air missiles will get another upgrade in range. The thing with Russia is they have a very good multi-layer air defense system. And they have shown in Ukraine that a ground to air missile can be launched and directed by aircraft to the target aircraft and get a kill. And the ranges involved are getting crazy.
The only aircraft who've seen real war on the list is SU-57. The so called South korean or Turkkish jets are military parade stuff😢
@@alberthenriette8976 It is still in production. Especially the Turkish jet. The project was started in 2010. I think it is a great success in 14 years. 🤔
The Su57 is probably the most combat-proven of the fifth-generation fighter. It has reportedly been responsible for several successful aerial battles, and there have been a number of KH69 missiles associated with this aircraft in Ukraine
Very good analysis. Fair and factual.
*💯SU-57 💎AMAZiNG💎*
Russia will soon release, as we know, a new heavy fighter, the Mig 41. Which will have a speed above sound, namely Mach 5.
And also one that will be able to shoot down super-sonic missiles and be maximum invisible to radars and satellites❗️
Hoping for War Thunder leaks on comple roster of missions the Su57 went on
Let's be clear on one point, Russia didn't "annex" Crimea in 2014, Crimean's had a democratic vote, somewhat reactionary to the US backed regime change of the Ukraine. They didn't want Nuland's cookies and were most likely upset by the continual shelling of civilians in the Donbas by the US/UK backed Banderivtsi AZOV regiment. Ukraine to this day says it wishes to liberate the Crimean's while at the same time targeting Crimean civilian targets... in their latest psyop against the Crimean's they telephoned thousands of men saying they were the Russian government and that they had been mobilised by President Putin. This was an attempt to cause dissent with Russia yet it backed fired when thousands reported for duty, ready and willing to fight. 😂
Utter horsesh.t, comrade Sheepski.
Su-57 was designed to fly with S-70 drones. I hope some day to see video about them, when the project is more polished.
Its rare to see unbiased videos from western channels
August 26th 2024, a F16 Viper Block 70/72 aircraft flown by Ukrainian Pilot code named Moon Fish was shotdown by a R 37m long range missile fired from a SU 57 flying from Crimea. The missile was launched at 270km making it the longest air to air kill in air combat history. The SU 57 has shotdown numerous Ukrainian and Bucharest Nine (NATO) Su 27 and other Soviet era Aircrafts on numerous occassions since 2022. There is a reason why the SU 57 hasnt been recorded as the Culprit for shooting down enemy aircrafts and confirmed by the Russians, the reason is simple.....Theyre Stealth Fighter aircrafts whose primary function is to not be detected by ENEMY Radar systems. The West will always deny the role of the SU 57 because they never detected them. Going to the Russian Government official public releases, you will see President Putin pinning medals on the uniforms of Russian SU 57 Fighter Pilots. There is s clue in there somewhere. 😂😉

The SU-57 is already a legend. In Top Gun 2 it was just a natural bird of prey. Absolutely beautiful aircraft. Way better looking than the Chinese one and what not. As if nature itself built the perfect predator.

0:25 HOW tf is South Korea's KF-21 has the best technology? It doesn't even have an internal weapons bay.
It carries missiles in recessed notches, exposing it to enemy radars.
Because even with the "recessed notches", the radar signatures of the KF-21 is still significantly smaller than the Su-57's. For whatever reason, the Russian design team didn't really focus on the "stealth" part of the Su-57... which is supposedly the entire point of "5th gen" aircraft. But also, that particular reason was not the reason(s) why the author said it has the "best technology".
@@JohnDorian-j7x That's rubbish. It's obvious that Sukhoi took "inspirations" from the F-22. Hence why it looks so similar. If F-22 is a stealth design, it makes no sense for you to say that the design team did not focus on stealth.
@@ViolentCabbage-ym7ko I'm not saying they didn't focus on stealth at all... just that they didn't focus as much on the stealth aspect as the US did. Its still "lower" observable, but its not classically "low" observable like the F-22, F-35, B-2, etc. The Russian team, whilst first and foremost focusing on cost, chose to focus more on other aspects that often directly competed directly against the "stealth" aspect of their jet, in exchange for better characteristics in "other" aspects of their platform.
@@JohnDorian-j7x Did you get that data from Sukhoi or CNN?
Su57 has been credited with shooting down an F16 among other air targets in Ukraine, how many aircraft has the F22 or F35 shot down in their combat roles, ever?
@@rightiswrongrightiswrong806 The F-16 was downed by a Patriot. SU-57s haven't downed any aircraft as yet. The F35 has been used in Syria and the F22 in Syria by the US.
