The SU-57 Felon - Russia's Answer to the F-22

PLEASE READ BEFORE ASKING For those that are confused: There is only one OPERATIONAL (non-prototype) SU-57. Two were built. One crashed. Operational means production and serialized and in a squadron. Everything else is a prototype. theaviationist.com/2020/12/30/first-serial-product…

One thing nobody can deny about Russian jets is that they look really good

All these people arguing in the comments and I'm sitting here admiring how Su-57 looks from the front. Absolutely love those underslung intakes.

Something to note about Russian doctrine, is they consider stealth as a secondary factor. The US builds a stealthy plane and makes it fight as good as it can. Russia builds a plane that fights and then makes it as stealthy as they can. The idea being you may see it coming, but you can't do anything about it.

What I see is that the f22 flagship is not capable of such a thing, it does the same cobra at low speed extremely clumsily. F35 totally sucks .And the uncle is just jealous .

Mover: "i dont know why he'd do that maneuver" the rest of the non fighter pilot world: "um because it looks cool as hell"

Greetings from Russia, guys. Some comments. 1. There are 10 flight test airplanes and one production plane. 76 production planes should be delivered to airforce till 2028. 2. Current flight test airplanes now are flying with temporary engine of first stage. Engine will be replaced at later version. 3. One piece canopy will be at later versions. Double curvature transparent surface - not so easy to produce, to comply visual distortions requirements 4. Su-57 is slightly smaller than Su-27. It's approximately equal to F-15 by size and mass. 5. Second video - from MAKS-2021 airshow at Zhukovsky. Flight aerobatic performed by Sukhoi chief pilot - Sergey Bogdan. He always opening the canopy at the end of show to greet the public. 6. Access to airshow MAKS-2021 was only for vaccinated/negative PCR test attendants. So there are no any facemasks spotted. :)

Bravo Naši<3 Pozdrav iz bratske Slovenije za mojo bratsko Rusijo🇷🇺❤🇸🇮

The pilot is Sergey Bogdan, the most experienced Russian pilot

"She's a big girl, not a skinny chick at all". My chuckle for the day.

I think the high alpha flat turn and falling leaf are supposed to demonstrate the plane is immune to an uncontrollable flat spin. It can point its nose quickly at a target even in manoeuvres that tactically don't make much sense. Similarly, the Cobra demonstrates high controllability in a straight stall, even if the plane is sliding backwards. Or can hang with zero airspeed on pure thrust nearly vertically. It's all really impressive stuff.

12:52 that's the Kvochur' Bell maneuver. Notably, the first jet aircraft to ever being able to execute it was Russian MiG-29, piloted by Anatoliy Kvochur (hence the name), followed by the Su-27. Before that, the maneuver was considered impossible to do in a jet aircraft, because jet engines were inoperable at extreme aoa's.

Beautiful aircraft, incredible Russian engineers.

Finally he is impressed with a foreign aircraft.

That famous obnoxious color in the cockpit is actually meant for the eyes to adjust to sudden changes from looking out to looking into the cockpit.

Su-57 has 6 radars. No one else in the world can boast of this. No "stealth" will get away from him. Su-57 broke the world record for the range of hitting an air target at a distance of 217 kilometers with an R-37M missile (combat, not training), while not revealing itself. No one in the world has even come close to it.

Как Байден : у Русских есть ракета , ничего необычного , только её невозможно сбить

The canopy is open because it's air show and Mr Bogdan greets the public.

The Su 57 has massive wing area and vectoring nozzles… you don’t need flaps to take off unless you have a heavy loadout.

Привет! Он показал, что увернулся от атаки и готов к нападению. Вот и всё. Всё просто. Это высший пилотаж.
