@tetispinkman9135 One of requirement to project of Su-57 was easy maintenance, as result (one of reason) arrived conception of fully modular construction, so you can replace even engines right in field in tens minutes without any complicated equipment, only with regular which have army everywhere. Or another example — engines got plasma ignition system, so there are no needs anymore to fill jet each time with oxygen (minus one refill machine, minus dangerous liquid oxygen balloons, less systems to check, less workers).
In Russia it maintenance cost is compared with project of MiG 1.42 (abandoned in 2000s Soviet project of 5th gen, nowadays known as J-20 in China; of course it is not directly same project, just to understand what it is). So, Su-57 in two times cheaper than it. If compare with F-35, then it is cheaper in several times.
