I wonder how the SU-57 stacks up against the F-35 and F-22?

In sheer numbers the F-35 is better.

It's difficult to say what the avionics suite can do for the SU-57 as most of that information is classified.

Even the SU-57 multi function display is classified.

So, what's your opinion

EC-135's and AW-101's missing...

bidexiii:
For me the the SU-57 is a dangerous aircraft like the F35 and F22 but it lags behind in stealth factor which is a very important factor in a 5th gen aircraft.
But in other factors the SU57 will compete well in terms of dog fight, aerobatics, BVRM, avionics, aircraft engine and air superiority. Noe considering how cheap the SU57 his and formidable it his, I'll go to it !
We can't can't tell too much about most stuffs on both aircraft has most technology, especially avionics are classified.

First serial SU-57 5th Gen fighter jet

What a beauty?

kabe1:
Thanks for the link.

I don't think it lags behind it stealth. What's the determining factor for a stealth fighter, what is the RCS of the SU-57, nobody knows.

I agree with you on every other thing except this above.

the Su-57 project is not ready yet . they are still working on its AESA radar , the stealth coating and glass canopy are not finished . and the new engines are not ready and need to be hidden with stealth coating too .

add that russian fighters doctrine is not the same with US air force doctrine .

add that many caracteristics are classified for both jets .


so , for my self i will wait the final version of su 57 . to have an opinion on the subject.

pacino26:
The final version will be a 6th Gen fighter jet as proposed by both Sukhoi and MIG. I have been following close updates on the development of this fighter jet and I must confess the Russians are taking their time with it.

The SU-57 is going to be the building platform for the 6th Gen fighters. Integration with their stealth Sukhoi S-70 Okhotnik-B was seamless during test flights and what we are going to be seeing on the future is the SU-57 commanding a series of drones in combat.

It's a new era and the Russians are doing well in comparison with the US with a very deep military budget.

AskiaHarem:
Why did India drop out of the project complaining of its shortcomings in many of it's parameters then?

pacino26:
I think there is a lot the Russians don't want to share at this stage. Their withdrawal caused some setbacks in funding but with 76 SU-57 and 5 B-Hunters, Russia already have their airspace defended. Orders are coming in but I think it will be for other variants of the craft. Trust issues eh.

Last Night I had a dream that Nigeria replaced India and helped fund the Su57, Mig35, MBT Terminator, and T-14 programs and dozens of Green Varieties of these beautiful beasts where on there way to Nigeria. It was such a wonderful Dream.

Careful now sometimes unrealistic Dreams come true .
Take a look at Algeria today :
Twenty Years ago they were one of the weakest Countries in Africa .
Today they are arguably the Strongest.
