"Russian flagship": Su-57 "delighted" the Chinese... with holes in the hull! Invisible rivets visible from space

Such an abundance of rivets protruding from the fuselage indicates that the assembly of the fighter jet no longer meets the new requirements...

P.S. Take a close look at the body of the Russian Su-57 jet fighter, the bomb hatch cover and the nozzles of both engines... It is not necessary to understand the Russian language...everything becomes clear from the video details...

Could I get a fashion kit for a (black) Mil Mi-24 Hind kin (or for a Sukhoi Su-57 Felon, should that be easier for you)? In a masculine style and leaning towards punk fashion and/or techwear.

Preferably without overtly baggy shirts (baggy jackets are fine tho)

Thank you in advance !

Same anon from the F-22, J-20, F-35 and Su-57 ask. While the Su-57's stealth is a joke, what about it's speed, altitude, and avionics? Are any of those on par with other fifth generation fighters?

The Su-57's speed, maneuverability, and range are superior to the F-35, but the F-35 is not designed to be a dogfighter. The Su-57 is said to fly higher than the F-22, and the top speed of the two are within 20 mph of each other. The Su-57's avionics can't even begin to compare, they're not very good. And it's a pretty beefy plane too, which makes it a larger (and thus easier to detect) target.

Thanks for the question, Anon.

Alright, time for plane talk.

The Su-57 is incredibly depressing. Politics of Russia aside, viewing the aircraft in a vacuum as something I personally would wanna fly, on paper it's fucking perfect.

The Flanker family of fighter jets are built around supermaneuverability in close range dogfighting, as well as bringing dogfight doctrine to BVR by getting behind enemy planes and firing extended range heatseekers to get a kill without alerting the target.

The thing is, they're huge on radar.

So, along comes the idea of making a stealth version, and this sounds perfect. A plane that can sneak in to the merge, or just get behind the enemy without being seen. Cool! Perfect!

Except they decided to learn all the wrong lessons from the US. They went for radar absorption above all else, very few shape considerations to reduce cross section. Then they ditched the R-27 missile entirely in favor of a shitty AMRAAM clone, effectively crippling everything they actually had an advantage in.

And to top it all off, they made it bigger. Large size means large radar cross section, even with ideal stealth profile, the Su-57 would be incredibly easy to spot. The stupid wing design also hurts its supermaneuverability a fair bit.

Honestly the Su 57 is a perfect example of how Russia has become incredibly incompetent from a military perspective, copying all the worst elements of the F 22 in hopes of looking scary. All this before the production issues that made the plane basically extinct.

It's sad, but given how Putin is basically a comic book villain, it's a good thing even if it stings as an aviation enthusiast.

Ukraina Tumpuk Alutsista NATO, Rusia Mempercepat Produksi Jet Tempur Ter...

The Russian Sukhoi Su-57 “Felon”, the world’s least numerous 5th generation fighter jet, and arguably the worst one in service, has now become the first of its kind to have a combat loss, after one aircraft was severely damaged/partially destroyed in an Ukrainian drone attack launched earlier today inside Russia, 500 kilometers (around 250 miles) from the nearest frontline.

It’s doubly confounded by the fact that as of 2024, no combat use of the Su-57 has been confirmed inside Ukrainian airspace, with Russian claims of use of the type without any visual proof.

The other 5th gen jets in service are the American F-22 Raptor, with less than 200 units built, and F-35 Lightning II, the most numerous stealth fighter jet with over 1000 units built, both with combat deployments, and the F-35 already involved in air raids with the Israeli Air Force, and the Chinese J-20, which hasn’t been deployed anywhere outside mainland China, but which is now is mass production with at least 200 units built, compared with the estimated 30 or so of the Su-57.

Su-57 Felon, Russia's fifth-gen fighter which has the radar cross section of a cardboard box.

Su-57 was disgraced in China: ridiculed and rejected...

Су-57 опозорился в Китае: высмеяли и забраковали...

PS. Great news: Russian Su-57 Felon is not a modern Stealth fighter jet...
