Sukhoi Su-57

The Su-57 is a fifth-generation stealth fighter aircraft developed by Russia's Sukhoi Company. It features integrated avionics, large payload capacity, supermaneuverability,[1] and weapons systems, including air-to-air missiles, air-to-ground missiles, and guided bombs. The aircraft is designed to excel in both air-to-air and air-to-ground combat scenarios and is intended to be the cornerstone of the Russian Air Force's fighter fleet. The Su-57 has been in development since 2002 and has undergone extensive testing, with production expected to ramp up in the coming years. It is considered a symbol of the Russian Air Force and has been mostly kept secluded from battle in worry that any losses of the aircraft could damage the reputation of the Russian Air Force.
