So stealthy, it has never been seen in actual combat
It’s been used, and has been the suspect for shootings down many SU24 recently, these are the only plane that can carry the shadow strike cruise missiles.
What ever plane shooting this down, it hasn’t been detected yet
Actually he was used on Kiev attacks a couple times . Even in few Ukrainian Telegram videos show a noice of his engines and were recorded by regular people. They don't sound like standard russian engines at all. It has a more high pitch . Now this is something I heard personally at videos at same night Russians said they use it.
I believe a few fired off some missiles well at a safe distance. It was far enough away from the front so that it would be almost impossible to shoot them down. So as far as we know they may have just been used as flying missile trucks.
It's not even categorized as a stealth fighter, only the media calls it that. I think NATO would categorize it as a reduced visibility fighter.
And it's still made with the Soviet cold war (and US fighter mafia) doctrine. Optimised for dogfighting over bvr.
Everyone else had realised by the 70s that dogfights were on the way out, and long range missiles were the future.
Russia has caught up with their missile tech, but their planes are all obsolete. If they ever get rid of their cleptocrats, they're going to have to start from scratch and play catch up.
@@aleksandarjevremovic1028 But it is a standard Russian engine that is being used on other Russian aircraft. The engine that it is supposed to have has not yet been developed and deployed. So I seriously doubt the stories.
Also, Ukraine has proven pretty good at shooting down every other type of aircraft that Russia has used over Ukraine (or very near to Ukraine). I don't believe the Russian Military would use the SU-57 in Ukraine as it would be a total PR disaster if Ukraine shoots one down (not to mention the loss of intelligence on the aircraft and it's electronics from the recovered wreckage which would soon be in US hands).

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.
I came here for the comments. It's astounding to see the number of aerospace engineers and material scientists here discussing and comparing, from design to functionality to application and lethality.
Remarkably many people don’t feel the need to appeal to a higher authority when they can use their own intellect, ability to research and critical thinking to be able to arrive at sound conclusions.
True...

@@mynameisnobody211Most people understand just how little they know about this.
Haha my man i love the sarcasm.. “ yeah that radar cross section is the size of my balls”!😂😂
As awesome as the su-57 is on paper, the superiority question can be summed up with this..
"Would you intercept me?
I'd intercept me."

Nice reference
Design-wise, this has always been one of my favorite planes. This plane, along with the YF-23, prove to me that beauty and lethality are not mutually exclusive.
When function and form go hand in hand
Well the SU-57 lacks lethality because you know, it's the size of a city block.
The F22 is way prettier. And, ya know, it’s actually stealthy and lethal, so…and save your “balloon killer” comeback please.
It doesn't matter if you built the least stealthy, stealth figher ever, all that matters is that it looks cool as hell.
People in the West will be scared of it! 😂😂😂
And the US Congress will pour even more tax dollars into the MIC! LMAO 🤣🤣🤣
It is a beautiful plane, but it’s a bunch of BS. It has nothing on Western stealth tech.
I know it's not for aesthetics, but the mismatched panel colors on the Su-57 look awesome.
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
a clever comment indeed
Warhorse
You right
but on the contrary US built the racehorse for war applications which is biting their own back,
like the operations cost for F22 and F35 which led to the discontinuation of F22 production because the US coudn't bear the cost of operating both the aircraft at the same time,
moreover they've built an aircraft which they thought it would solve the problem but on the way they've created more problems for their own mainly for maintaining and operating cost for both of the planes,
That's why US is considering to upgrade the Bloc levels of F16 as mainly the F16 serves more purpose than those of what F35 does maybe rather more efficiently, that's why they've proposed to update F16 for future warfare,
moreover just to save cost and maybe more frugal for the airforce even Russian's are also considering to operate single engine aircraft for future applications,
like SU75 checkmate,
So there is an overall shift in airforce around the world to use more single engine craft for their workhorse purpose overall,
since US is also instead of investing more in F35 for future warfare they're trying to shift all the future upgrades to the new F16 programs overall,
What successor? Is there any info on it?

@@meteorknight999 Its not about ego, its about facts, but hey man, keep beating your chest about a plane that doesn't really exist.
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.
Theorizing is not for you.
Look at high resolution images of serial production Su-57.
And YES! India wrenched Russian timelines for Su-57, but it didn’t stop them. Now! They are begging again to purchase the plane.
@@jakovskaro8224 Maybe theorizing is not for me, but wishful thinking is certainly for you. India is begging so much that they are purchasing French Rafale instead. I also looked at high resolution photos, and i can still see through the air intakes, so I don't understand what you are trying to say. The Su-57 is a beautiful plane, but Sukhoi itself claims a radar cross section of 1-0.01 m2. I assume they know for sure what their aircraft is capable of. American planes can do what? A 100 times less? Unfortunately. I'm rooting for the Russians, I wish America had a good big strong counterforce, but unfortunately this plane falls short compared to the western ones.
@@erikpeterffy7552 well! I stay by my initial assessment. You know very little
@@jakovskaro8224 well India isn't begging again they already signed for su 57 when it gets completed, the matter of fact is USA flew their F35 , FA18 And 21 in aero India airshow FOR SALE purpose and they ended up with Rafael as France offered better weapon system than FA 18 and Rafael performed better at high altitude in Himalayan mountains just to let you know that war scenario is totally different in specific Himalayan mountains atmosphere and plain desert like middle east and we already have fought and won a war at that altitude without machines , and about f35 (We dropped the idea of f35 after south Korea half of f35 fleet was not able to fly due to high maintenance failure issues which i am not sure why everyone in west is trying to ignore about)our choice was su 57 because we needed a solid aircraft not a sophisticated one reason even the more water exposure can damage a beautiful aircraft like raptor and 35. Just some spoiler (India operates S400 RUSSIAN and even after that USA wants to have f35 stationed on our Himalayan air strips that thing is itself is sus , cuz last time a NATO country imported Russian s300 it was excluded out of F35 programmed. USA in every 6 months comes to train with us at that high altitude warzone every wondered ? the only aircraft f-15 of US was able to be on par with mig29 in those mountains cuz at that area its the game of altitude. There's a lot going on with f35's recently (only the countries with US influence buy those and their maintenance record is 100% Sussy). Su 57 is also no good but at the moment the only so called 5th generation aircraft who have faced a engagement and war is su 57 pinning down a Ukrainian su 27. (summary is stop shitting and start appreciating) cuz every place is not middle east , Stealth is not something that's a priority in harsh conditions like Indian Warzones here the humans and the reliable machines work.(if you think US machines are reliable bro trust me you are either blind or dumb cuz we operate 7-8 different style of fighters according to the requirements and none of them is US made cuz it was never able to stand the conditions).
@@jakovskaro8224 ohh and if you think i am shitting on any of the aircraft then you are wrong , every Aircraft has its purpose to serve and its made with keeping the condition of place it would serve. We have mirage for bombings , rafael for air superiority, mig 29 for aircraft carrier and high altitude and lastly Sukhoi SU 30 mki that beautiful flanker is the most advance flanker of SU 30 model cuz it only Russian by airframe whole DNA of that plane is rebuilt. (We Indians are little bit bias towards our friend Russia cuz he was the one who was supporting our back and scared the US 7th fleet away with their Nuclear submarine fleet ) And we have tested Russian weapons they are definitely trust worthy. Lastly as in war there is no use of advance weapons if you cant use them because the the country making them censor you lol avg US game. "US might be better But Russia is the one whom you can trust that will not sabotage"
Man, your animations just keep getting better and better. Gorgeous work.

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.

Drone "wingmen" seem like a fantastic force-multiplier. You can increase the weapon load and data gathering capabilities of crewed warplanes whire minimizing the number of soldiers praced in a dangerous situation. It combines the advantages of drone aircraft while eliminating most of their disadvantages.
They can barely build the drones they bought from Iran
@@thadiusbarnelsnatch3665 I'm only discussing the merits of the concept, not Russia's ability to execute on it.
@@pseudotasuki ok well in that I can agree, you may not have known that one of the upcoming f-35 upgrade packages includes drone wingmen
@@thadiusbarnelsnatch3665 Indeed! Hopefully it'll go better than the Russian counterparts.
@@pseudotasuki I’m hearing that we’ll have real concrete info on it within the year
I'll reevaluate my opinions about the Su-57 if India or any other Russian allies actually buy some. The "problematic" F-35 keeps getting new orders and deliveries, so it's difficult to compare.
So maybe it's not so problematic after all? Maybe there's something fishy when the "Failure" F-35 has sold 1000 planes the Sukhoi hasn't been seen in combat in over 3 years of actual war
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.
@@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.

The SU-57 is a very beautiful aircraft!
I noticed you didn't explain that although the su57 has infrared it only has it facing forwards. Whereas the F35 has 360 thermal detection capabilities meaning it can target crafts behind it. Those sidewinder 9x's are insane :~)
You forgot the best part about the Su-57's infrared sensor: it's not coated, which means using it makes it substantially more detectable on radar lol
@@gigacream5830 "It's insane how it is capable of basically being dumped from the mount, and INSTANTLY flip a 180 and fly the complete opposite direction..."
Mmmhhmm, and do you know where the idea for that came from?
Soviet missiles.
@@gigacream5830 "Idk where tf you got that idea from"
Maybe you should read up better on reality then.
The R-73 together with HMD has that ability, though with reduced hitrate.
There's even videos online showing it.
The export model of the missile AND the HMD does NOT have the ability.
@@thundercactusIR sensor can be turned around with the sensor's back facing forwards when not used to increase stealth
@@RCLepcha I know. But it can't be USED without compromising stealth, unlike the F35's various targeting sensors that don't compromise stealth at all when in use.
Stealthy or not but it sure is one of the most beautiful plane ever built
Russian, just know how to build beautiful planes
It can beat a f22 because the f22 wont want to shoot it down because it looks fire as hell
agreed. the russian design philosophy makes me think of a ballerina with an AKS, they look great, even sexy, but also rugged and deadly
Lmao yes…building things that look like they were born with fetal alcohol syndrome is beautiful, especially when the engines protrude so much and are so far apart it looks like it rides the special bus
Behold... Salty yankees incoming lol supper funny that they cannot stand other countries making something that looks cooler
They already addressed the inlets and the compressor blades cross section. Just doing it a little different from the West but with the same results. Also the upgraded engines are now being installed with a mach 2 cruise speed and the engine will be used in older planes for a replacement upgrade. Being used in older planes they will be able to build more making it more reasonable then just building them for the Su57's.
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.
@@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.
It can't even beat the old F14 Tomcat, Tom Cruise taught me that in Top Gun.

A good rule of thumb with the Russians is if you don't see it, they don't have it. They will always have a few to show off. But you never see the item go into mass production.

@@Simeon301091 The SU-57 first flew in 2010 and has been in the Russian air force since the end of 2020. In all that time, they have produced a grand total of.... 32 (10 test, 22 production aircraft).
We have 187 F-22 Raptors and we've already built over 1,000 of the F-35 in various models for our own use and for exportation with countless more on the way.
At the rate they're going, we'll have retired the F-22 and replaced it in similar numbers with 6th gen aircraft before the SU-57 ever breaks 100 in production models and there will be enough F-35s flying around to become the 3rd largest air force on Earth by themselves.

thing is in the f35 and f22 the paint itself is a ram. which is why they are both shiny and camouflages are really hard to make on them. paint covers the vast majority of the plane and the canopy itself has ram as far as i know too or at least doesnt let waves inside. another thing that isnt taken into account is the panel gaps and panel shapes for the planes there are almos no right anglesi n any of the panels of the f22 and f35 . su57 has square riveted panels all over the fuselage which work like retroreflectors to radar waves

This is one of those “if you know, you know” punchlines that I love.
People are right about production issues but Russia has learned many lessons from this war and Sukhoi will deliver double the number of Su-57 this year than previous one and all will have the new engine and other upgrades installed.This project was so slow because Russians didn't expect to get into any hot wars against an enemy with a lot of air defense.
The first casualty of war is always the truth...
The SU-47 BERKUT is hands down one of my all time favorite aircraft designs ever produced. Its forward swept wings although created design challenges, once it was figured out and combined with full thrust vectoring made it extremely maneuverability at low to high speed was impressive and far beyond the F-22 Raptors ability. That alone makes it a formidable and extremely deadly air to air combat aircraft.
The SU-57 Felon as NATO calls it, is actually a blend of the F22 and YF23 aircraft designs and that being said is also Its own completely different animal. Hyper sonic missile capable makes it hard to find and kill before it strikes from extreme distance from target making the job of the F22 ever harder before visual engagement.
The datalink will go beyond the basic Link-16
OSNOD allows control of assets via the datalink..

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.
Aren't you listening carefully - no airplane is trully invisible for DETECTION (with or without passive radar), but it is difficult to TRACK/AIM at with radar-guided missiles, because they are designed to absorb/deflect enemie's tracking radar's frequency (different from detection radar's frequency.
Another great video 📹. No geopolitics in this channel, just technology. I have no doubt that Russia will improve the SU57 even more and order more after 76 delivery

The Berkut is the su-47 not the 37

Regarding the engines, I really wish you would have mentioned that Russia just equipped back in November 2023 is already incorporated into an unknown amount of number of Su-57's and you can really see their nozzle differences, also known as the AL-51F-1 Engine, Russia successfully flew the Su-57 a few months ago with these brand new engines.
In terms of the S-70 Hunter-B UAV - Russian's have invested heavily into the Su-57 AI - Which is relayed from Airbase Command Servers to the Pilot, and the Pilot using AI assistance can control the drone. Also, yes, the AL-51 Engines are thinner like the S-70 and yet still maintains its thrust vectoring. Just sad you saying "When will this happen?" when it already did.
Fun Fact regarding the predecessor engines, the one's the Su-35S & T-50 Prototypes use, the Saturn AL-41 - China in 2018 iirc bought 30+ Su-35S Aircraft, for the sole purpose of studying their engines, for their own Aircraft programs.
Another: I am more than sure that India is regretting its choice to pull out from the FGFA program, because now Pakistan just recently ordered J-31 (supposed) Stealth Aircraft from China, while China has its own Development of Stealth Aircraft like the J-20 and J-31, and India has had clashes and conflicts with both these nations in the 20th Century, after World War 2.

Guess west shd stop parroting their aircraft greatness and focus on development...unlike the Russians who silently do their job....
I have read quite a lot about this topic, but there is one site with a deep analysis that I can share .Okay first about the dogfight in visual range. Remember, visual range means getting close, not beyond visual range, because the Su-57 inherits great maneuverability from other Su models with 3D thrust vectoring. It's great, but in terms of stealth capabilities, especially fighting beyond visual range, it's not great by the standard of stealth. It has a radar cross section similar to the F-18 Super Hornet without its armament. So, if it faces the F-22 or F-35 beyond visual range and in a radar fight, it will really lose. It's really painful to say, because it's a great plane, and many simulations and recreations have been done in DCS to note this with the specifications. Now, from the analysis and from the military itself, they say that there are still some other full capabilities that we don't know, but in terms of stealth, it's really not up to the standard of stealth. If the scenario is a dogfight in close range, it can probably defeat the F-35, as that plane lacks maneuverability, but if it's the F-22, the F-22 will probably win with almost 80%, as it has a better fight compared to the Su-57. The thing I hate is why Russia, which has great engineers, lacks funds that make some planes have to be cut and cost. This big example is the Su-57, which lacks full coating of stealth material and many things that can be improved to become better at stealth. You can read from this link, which has a deep analysis of the Su-57's cross section:

There are four actually operational, flight capable Felons out of a thirteen ship total fleet. We have 127 Raptors, and about six are in for repairs at any given time.

We hold the qualitative advantage in missiles, airframes, sat, awacs, elint, logistics, networking, and force readiness, as well as the massive quantitaive edge.
But ok, sure, whatever.
You will say bye to those raptors soon bc they are getting decommissioned
The F-22 is equipped with AIM-9 Sidewinder and the Su-57 lack all forms of IR masking due to having exposed engines. Even if the stealth is effective it will be highly vulnerable in a one on one fight.

If you consider that the Su-35 in the Baltics constantly detects American F-35s long before the F-35 begins to see the Su-35, then the F-35 is not “invisible” but simply an aircraft with limited visibility. By the way, the Su-35s are great at driving American F-35s there because they can disappear from their radar and simulate an attack using electronic warfare systems. and the F-35 cannot do anything during such attacks. and the most interesting thing from this situation is that the F-35 cannot constantly see the Su-35, it constantly loses it on the radar. From this we conclude that no matter how many American aircraft are produced, this is not a success and not an indicator of their superiority, unless it is for propaganda.
and as for replacing engines, this will still happen. Any high-quality aircraft undergoes testing of components, modification, replacement with new components that have appeared, until it goes into large series.
Look at the F-35, they produced a lot of them, but they still fall and suffer accidents even on the ground. In addition, servicing the F-35 is ten times more expensive than the Su-57! this means that there are hidden difficulties in the F-35 project that no one talks about and simply produces an unfinished aircraft in large quantities.
I really wish you were right, but unfortunately you are not. In fact, everything is much simpler. The receiving side (which is conducting the interception) has ground-based radars that can detect the F-35 before the F-35 spots the Su-35. I think that in the open neutral sky, detection of each other would be simultaneous, further events would depend on the skill of the pilots.
Lets make this clear: much like the armata, the Su-57 isn't inherently bad. It would actually be quite good... if it wasn't being built in Russia...
50% of American adults are illiterate according to a recent study. This has huge implications on America's ability to maintain it's status as a so called developed nation 😮
Russia's version of fifth gen is the US's version of basically standard issue fourth gen.
Your right, the USA has borrowed so much money from the world markets it could make anything it wanted to. Here's the problem with that, the US is close to maxing out it's credit card, the markets will no longer buy US debt and accept close to zero interest rates they want much higher rates for doing so. If the US wants to continue their program of military and social spending then those rates will go a lot higher, would you be ok if interest rates went above 10% for example? Russia doesn't have a military that could compete with the USA and I think their view is they don't need to have one because the US military budget is not about defeating Russia in a war (never going to happen due to nukes) it's about projecting power and acting like an empire.
@@JagdgeschwaderX Technically, most of the US's debt is to itself, not the rest of the world. In fact, Britain finished paying off its WW2 debt to the US a few years ago. Besides, who else is trying to make sure everyone has equal access to ocean shipping lines.
