@pancake5830 I haven’t seen the Su-57 perform anything particularly impressive that hasn’t been seen before. I hear Russian trolls rave about its maneuverability, but I’ve only seen it go low and slow performing low-g maneuvers.

@hercegovac9999 Stealth is supposed to be of primary importance to be a 5th gen fighter.

@hercegovac9999 The Su-57’s RCS is about the same as the F-18 Super Hornet’s, but it’s not considered 5th generation.

@aguy2763 I’ve seen the F-22 perform higher-g turns than the Su-57. Quite frankly, to this day Russia still hasn’t shown the Su-57 even launch air to air missiles from internal bays or shoot its guns in flight. I’d like to see the Su-57 shoot IR missiles from internal bays inverted like what the F-22 can do.

@hercegovac9999 Like you hinted, there’s doubt if their technology actually works. Just to put things into perspective, the US has been fielding AESA radar for over two decades, has it in thousands of fighter aircraft, and Russia is still working on its first. You know very well that Russia’s significantly behind, and having AESA radar is one of the crucial factors of being a 5th gen fighter. Nice chatting with you. And God Bless you!

@georgejones-e6t 😂The Su-57 has only shown that it can go low and slow performing low-g maneuvers. I’d like to see it perform the J-turn like what you’ve seen the F-22 perform.

Liar. The Ukrainians have not seen the Su-57 in battle. Russia is too afraid to use it because they know it will get shot down. If it worked as well as Russia claimed, Russia would be using it in Ukraine to showcase its capabilities. A true 5th gen fighter would be able to hunt down Patriot missile batteries and HIMARS. It would have resulted in huge sales. Instead it is hiding far away from the front lines not being used like a real stealth fighter would. The F-22 entered service in 2005. What wars has the US fought in where the adversary had an air force? None. Russia at one time could have sent its Su-35s to fight against it. While US aircraft bombed Russia’s Wagner group in Syria for over four hours, with F-22s flying cover for them, Russian Su-35s sat at a nearby base afraid to engage them. It just shows how effective it is as a deterrent.

@hercegovac9999 Care to clarify, or do you like being vague?
2
@hercegovac9999 But there are still other qualities that require it to meet the 5th gen definition. For instance, the F-117 has a smaller RCS than the Su-57, yet it’s still not a 5th gen fighter.

It’s trash. Not even Russia’s closest ally India wants nothing to do with it.

@eu3127 I’m fine with the truth, but I don’t like liars, and Russian trolls are the worst.

@eu3127 I didn’t tell lies. It’s the truth, something that you obviously can’t accept.

@eu3127 Watch the video How US Forces Smoked Russian Mercenaries by Brother in Arms. Ouch, the truth does hurt doesn’t it? 😂

@eu3127 LOL, the F-22s weren’t running away. They were in the same vicinity fighting against ISIS dummy. Google Battle of Khasham, and you’ll find, The Battle of Khasham, also known as the Battle of Conoco Fields, was a military engagement of the Syrian civil war fought on 7 February 2018 near the towns of Khasham and Al Tabiyeh in the Deir ez-Zor Governorate, Syria. The Operation Inherent Resolve coalition delivered air and artillery strikes on Syrian Armed Forces and pro-government militias after they reportedly engaged a U.S. military and Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) position in the region. The aircraft used by the US were the F-22, F-15E, B-52, AC-130, Apache Helicopters, and MQ-9 Reaper. So tell me liar, while the US attacked the Wagner Group for four hours, where were Russian Su-35s to help? That’s right, they sat at a nearby base with their tails between their legs. BTW, the Su-35 is a POS. Look into why Egypt cancelled its order for them after they got their asses kicked by Rafales in exercises. The Chinese had the same experience with their J-10s😂 . Keep denying the truth. That’s all you Russian trolls can do.

@eu3127 Dummy, US aircraft and Russian aircraft were fighting ISIS in the same region. They weren’t going up against each other.

@hercegovac9999 China has come along way, but it’s still not at the same level of technology as the United States. China’s problem of stealing other country’s technology is that it doesn’t know the underlying technology that was used to create it. When you’re always stealing and copying others technology that means you’re behind. Look at how far behind China is in developing high-end microchips. Look at how it’s behind in stealth technology, submarine technology, aircraft carriers, even deep space exploration.

You need to learn more about the specific exercises and the flight rules of engagement before making any judgement. For instance, the F-22s carry the Luneburg lens, which is a radar reflector, during the exercises. It allows the opposing aircraft to detect it on radar. Without it the exercise is of no value because the F-22s get one easy kill after another. It’s not even a competition. In real combat they won’t carry the device. Furthermore, in real combat the opposing aircraft will be loaded down with ordnance, which increases their radar signature and it makes them a larger target on radar, and it also reduces their speed and agility. The F-22 does not have this problem since the ordnance is stored internally and near the center of the fuselage. Quite honestly, in real combat the F-18 has little chance to defeat the F-22. Even if it’s detected, the hardest part is tracking and locking onto it. Just imagine that if a large and powerful SAM site has difficulty even detecting it, how do you think a tiny missile seeker head is going to do tracking and locking onto it? Not well. In exercises an English F-15 exchange pilot said the experience was very frustrating as he couldn’t even get a lock in visual sight. In exercises two F-22s have easily defeated 16 F-15s. Without question, I’d put my $ on the F-22.

@LoveBagpipes It’s not about coping, but telling you information that you’re obviously unaware about. The F-22 doesn’t need to carry weapons externally. It can carry six AMRAAMs and two Sidewinders internally, which allows it to keep its stealth profile. I never said it’s invisible, but the hardest part of shooting down a stealth fighter isn’t detecting it, it’s getting a lock with the missile seeker head. I too have talked to pilots and crews. At a recent air show I spoke with some crew members of an AWACS crew. I asked them if they were able to detect the F-22, and their response was only when it wants to be detected. I also remember an Indian journalist who was riding in the backseat of a F-18 during the MMRCA tender. He said he couldn’t believe that the F-22 snuck up on them without being detected, and they had a very modern AESA radar on the aircraft. An F-15C pilot being interviewed said the same thing. And like I mentioned earlier, the F-22 carries the Luneburg lens in exercises. Without it the F-18 pilots never would have known where it was until it was too late. If you don’t believe me, go to YouTuber The Ready Room. He’s a former F-18 pilot who has gone up against the F-22. He says the F-22 is far superior in every way imaginable. He’s got some cool videos, including going up against a Malaysian Su-30, and he won three out of three times.

No it wasn’t. Russia stole tons of German equipment, and a huge amount of equipment was taken from the Nazis to the Russians. The Soviets also forced German scientists to relocate to the USSR. The US actually had some great scientists in the field of rocketry. Goddard was one of them, and the Germans used his technology. It’s Russia that has the very long history of copying from the west. It’s well known that Russia is not a technological leader, and it’s especially behind when it comes to manufacturing high tech equipment on mass scale efficiently.

Nonsense. Russian officials have even admitted that stealth isn’t the primary focus of the Russian Air Force for the Su-57. It’s widely acknowledged that the Su-57 has many design flaws that increases its radar signature, and it’s one of the main reasons why India left the partnership to develop the aircraft. It’s said that the RCS of the Su-57 is approximately that of the F-18 Super Hornet, and that many don’t even consider the Su-57 to be 5th generation, but 4.5 at best.

@АнтоДив NATO doesn’t fear the Su-35. It’s nothing but an upgraded Su-27 that still uses antiquated PESA radar. Russia’s flown Su-35s over neutral waters for years, and it’s never alarmed the west. In general, Russia’s military has been exposed by Ukraine as being overly hyped that can’t even defeat a country that didn’t have a standing army four years ago. And who cares about Russia’s electronic warfare capabilities. Before the war Russians were boasting that nobody could touch Russian equipment because of its vastly superior EW. We all learned that it’s just as overrated as all other Russian equipment.
1
@АнтоДив Google India Finally Left the Su-57 and you can see for yourself. The fact that Russia can’t find a single outside customer speaks volumes. Plus, being in a war is the best time to showcase your weapons. It’s why US Patriot, Javelins, HIMARS, etc., sales have all skyrocketed. Russia on the other hand is afraid to use the Su-57 in Ukraine because it knows very well that it will get shot down. Just like the T-14, the Su-57 is more Russian trash.

Just Google why India left the partnership, and you’ll find, *India has reportedly stopped working with Russia on the long-troubled Fifth Generation Fighter Aircraft program, or FGFA, a shared effort that was supposed to produce an improved variant of the equally vexing Su-57 stealth fighter. Though hardly surprising, with years of reports that the Indian government has become increasingly disappointed in the project’s progress and the aircraft's capabilities. According to the report from India’s Business Standard, the Su-57’s actual low-observable characteristics were among the biggest issues. It has seemed increasingly clear that the underlying Su-57 design might simply not be readily adaptable to being stealthier than it is in its present form.

What wars has the US lost? And what wars has Russia won in its own? It’s not just American saying that the Su-57 is junk, but it’s widely thought that way worldwide. It’s why Russia hasn’t been able to find a single outside customer for it. It’s why long time ally India backed out of the partnership to develop it with Russia. We’ve all seen how poorly Russia’s equipment has done in the war against Ukraine. If the Su-57 worked as well as what Russia claims, it would be having a huge influence. It would be able to take out HIMARS launchers and Ukrainian SAM sites. It would be the perfect opportunity for Russia to showcase its capabilities, and if it did as well it would have resulted in large sales. Good examples for the USA are the Patriot missile and HIMARS. Their outstanding performance has led to massive sales for many years to come. Russia on the other hand is struggling to find customers because people have seen that Russia’s equipment hasn’t lived up to all the hype as described in Russian propaganda.

Not true at all. The F-22 was shown to be more maneuverable, and it didn’t depend on development of unproven technologies. The YF-23’s projected costs were expected to be much higher. The key advantage for the YF-23 is that it had an even smaller RCS than the Raptor.

😂 You’re a funny guy. Russia’s tried to sell the Su-57 to a number of countries, but nobody is interested in it because they know it’s trash. India was a partner at one time to develop the Su-57, but India left the partnership out of disappointment with the Su-57. India had many concerns, especially when it came to the Su-57’s lack of stealth features and its engines. India expressed concern that they didn’t believe the the Su-57 could get any stealthier without having to start all over. Russia’s tried to convince India to rejoin the partnership, but India has shown no interest. That says a lot considering that India and Russia are longtime partners on many other military projects.

😂 The Su-57 has not even shown the ability to shoot its guns or missiles from internal bays in flight. It’s a huge disaster.
