A new improvement for Su-57 will make him vulnerable to the enemy.

A few days ago it was reported that the newest Russian fighter of the fifth generation of Su-57 received a unique sighting container, allowing the crew to better identify targets, which expands the combat capabilities of this aircraft. Nevertheless, experts believe that the solution is stupid, because it makes the aircraft too easy target.

Despite the fact that the West openly says that "Stealth" technology was not used to create the Su-57 fighter, elements of small radar visibility in this aircraft are still present. In terms of stealth, the Russian aircraft is much inferior to the American F-22 and F-35, as well as the Chinese Chengdu J-20, but for air defense it is still a subtle target. Nevertheless, the appearance of a sighting container significantly enhances the visibility of a Russian airplane for radar equipment, which makes it an easy target even for relatively elderly air defense complexes.

“By adding an aiming container, the combat qualities of the Su-57 certainly increased, but at the same time, the aircraft itself becomes an easy prey for combat fighters and enemy air defense systems. This is not an improvement, but rather a deterioration in the combat capabilities of the fifth generation fighter ", - said the analyst Avia.pro.
