  11. @ First off, it’s not called paint. It’s radar absorbent material, RAM. The US has been building stealth fighters for over 40 years, has produced many varieties, and it has a significant lead in the field. Russia is not known for making high tech equipment, even for domestic goods. It’s well known that Russia is not in the business of making high tech products on mass scale efficiently. It’s why Russia buys US made microchips on the black market. The downed S-70 itself had over 30 western made microchips in it. Weapons are being produced to be able to fit inside the F-35. India rejected the Su-57 because they weren’t impressed at all with it, and yet Russia to this day is still trying to convince them to buy it making the deal sweeter each time. The most stealthy Russian aircraft is the S-70 Okhotnik. What’s comical is what was found at its wreckage. See below. Initial assessments of the wreckage cast doubt on Russian claims about the drone’s advanced capabilities. Contrary to Russian propaganda, the S-70 does not appear to feature the stealth polymers or advanced artificial intelligence systems that were advertised. “This is no advanced combat drone,” a Ukrainian defense expert said. “It’s more like a glider equipped with basic flight capabilities and radio controls.” Additionally, the use of the Su-57 manned fighter as a command relay for the drone was seen as inefficient and highlighted the limitations of Russian networking capabilities. The S-70 lacks the robust stealth technologies that Russia has claimed to possess, and it does not feature the kind of network-centric systems comparable to NATO’s Link-16. Instead, the drone relies on a basic radio link for guidance, limiting its operational flexibility.. The Russian Ministry of Defense has long promoted the S-70 as a “loyal wingman” to the Su-57, capable of engaging in coordinated missions and using a wide range of airborne weaponry. However, the incident casts doubt on the drone’s ability to execute sophisticated combat maneuvers, including the use of air-to-air missiles or precision-guided weaponry. I’m just as confused about the F-47 having canards, too. They’re well known to increase an aircraft’s RCS. Maybe the plan isn’t to use them except when dogfighting. I don’t know.

  22.  @vladislavovi44  I know my facts. That was a quote from when India first rejected the Su-57. You should check yours. Russia itself has admitted that stealth isn’t its most underlying concern when making the Su-57. Its RCS is huge in comparison to both the F-22 and F-35. Stealth wasn’t their only concern. See below. But New Delhi pulled out of the co-development deal in April 2018. According to Indian air force officials, the Su-57 was too expensive, poorly engineered and powered by old and unreliable engines. The Indians’ complaints illustrated the yawning gulf between stealth-warplane design and the actual production of radar-evading jets. It’s one thing to sketch an advanced warplane on paper. It’s quite another to build one and get it to work. Indian air force and defense ministry officials listed at least four “shortfalls … in terms of performance and other technical features”. The AL-41F engines fitted to the Su-57 were unreliable. The radar was inadequate. The airframe was poorly built, with serious implications for the jet’s stealth profile. And in light of these defects, $6 billion was too much to pay up front. But the allegations of sloppy construction appeared to be particularly serious. Besides posing an accident risk, low-quality construction can result in gaps and mismatched angles that elevate a plane’s radar signature. As early as 2013 it was apparent Sukhoi was having problems with quality control on the Su-57. At least one of the prototypes needed patches on its wings to keep from falling apart during high-stress maneuvers.

  24. So tell me, why is it that both Algeria and Egypt canceled their remaining orders of the Su-35? I will be glad to tell you. They’re susceptible to being jammed. It happened in exercises in both China and Egypt. In fact, the world is seeing the real Russian military in Ukraine, a complete flop. If Russia’s Air Force is so superior, it would be able to obtain air superiority over a country with a very small and outdated air force, but that’s not the case. The F-35’s AESA radar far surpassed anything in the Russian military. Hell, Russia hasn’t even put AESA into service, something that the USA did over twenty years ago. The F-35’s situational awareness, sensor fusion, avionics are considered top notch, unlike the shit flown in Russia’s fighters. Even the Su-34, which is one of Russia’s newer aircraft, that was shot down has taped on it a GPS location device. Even during the MMRCA tender, Russia’s ally said that the USA had the best radars, systems, and weapons, and the USA wasn’t even offering its best. The F-35 also isn’t limited by drag weight. While the Su is bogged down with ordnance, which reduces speed, agility, and its ability to recover from high g turns, the F-35 doesn’t have this problem since its weapons are stored internally and near the center of the fuselage. If you really are objective, you’d watch air demos and watch for maneuvers that you see in real combat, like instant and sustained high g turn rates. Russian fighters go low and slow performing low g maneuvers. The F-35’s turn rates are far more impressive. And we’re not even talking about the F-22, which is far more maneuverable than anything from Russia. Russia’s aircraft look good at airshows, but that’s about it. It really doesn’t matter anyway. Russia’s ability to build high tech equipment will be severely limited. It needs western parts, and the sanctions have already taken a toll on Russia’s ability to make tanks, SAMs, and to launch satellites. There are even reports that Russia’s soldiers are stealing microchips from washing machines in Ukraine. 😂
