@nightprince8641 Ehh, the amount of cluelessness in your message just screams that you are an American (no offence).
Your every other sentence is wrong. And I don't know if I have time or even should respond to you tbh.
Firstly what you've said about technical stuff is mostly common sense, you are assuming that other people are like an average clueless American (which they are not). It is common sense that you need experienced pilots to fly those planes. And there have been extensive training with hundreds of pilots over the years, both in training simulator courses and on the real planes. Secondly it has been deployed in 2 Russian spec. op. campaigns, 1) in Syria and now 2) in Ukraine. Thirdly, with planes, unlike your typical ground vehicle stuff ,which is hard to set everything logistically for maintenance, repair and etc, those planes can fly straight from the Russian original deployment bases located on it's territory straight to the conflict zone. So there's absolutely no trouble or problems to use them in Ukraine, where they are being used now, with superb performance and effectiveness.
Also with vectoring thrust , you are wrong again. Russia has had Yak 38 (Як 38) in 1970 with vectoring thrust long before the US did (In fact US just stole it from Russia).
Also nobody has had a real "3D" vectoring thrust ever before and neither does Su 57 atm(except on a few prototypes). It's new (one of a kind) 3D Vectoring thrust comes with a new engine - Izdeliye 30 (изделие 30) which will likely be used in a Su 57M. So it will be a different type of plane ,and as of right now, the Su 57 uses a limited vectoring thrust .
You have to understand and realize that you are brewing in that western sided propаganda bubble , so you are simply not aware of other "bubbles" outside of the English speaking one. And trust me as I'm brewing in both of those "bubbles" , I can tell you that there's alot of the information that is either deliberately hidden from the western people or is just not presented to them for one or the other reason.
(There's alot of the information missing in the English speaking part of the internet).

@mbaxter22 Yes I agree that in the fighter aircraft not just engines are important. However they are absolutely half of the deal of a good aircraft. The other half is ofcourse avianoics. Which is also good on Su 57. Which is better than in Rafael. Though ofcourse you will never be able to truly compare them officially so our opinions on them is truly subjective.
Rest of what you've said I completely disagree.
Where did you get operational costs? How is that even possible? Give me the numbers then? For all we know western aircrafts a priori are more expensive ,cost and maintenance wise.
All because of the western economic war against Russia , Ruble has been severely devalued, which means all of the costs of the Russian proucts are up to 10 times cheaper compare to dollar or euro ones.
That's simple economics. Russia is much more cost efficient than western companies. Simple example Russian military budget for this year , when converted to dollars is only just slightly over $30 bil vs US military budget $780 bil, yet Russia is acting more efficient than the US military ( at least not 20 times worse as the numbers would suggest... that's for sure).
Same for Su 57 vs Rafael.
Cost of aircraft Su 57 around USD $20 mil , Rafael around USD $120.
Estimated cost of operation per flight hour
Su 57 around $6k and Rafael around $17k
Whenever or however you look Su 57 or it's similar project ,would have been better for India. Don't try to find reasons for India not using it in the aircraft being bad. Real reason would be of different sorts like corruption or wanting to bite off more than they can chew etc. Great example is the Tank Arjun, which is a money sink hole. And Indian government can't produce a good enough tank to replace T90s... But it will sink even more money into Arjun, just because it's an Indian tank, and not because T90 is bad .( T90 is a much better and superior tank.)
