The Russian Su-57 fighter cannot yet fight with the American F-35.

Despite statements by representatives of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation that the newest fighter of the fifth generation, the Su-57, is already superior to the American F-35, Major General Yuri Sytnik, a member of the Council of Senior Officers of the “Officers of Russia” organization, emphasized that so far the Russian combat aircraft cannot with the American F-35, but this will happen in the future.

“We need to understand that while the Su-57 has a face, but this version of it is not final. Trials continue. In the final version, it will far surpass both the F-22 and F-35. ”, - he said.

For what reasons, Major General Yuri Sytnik did not see the current superior capabilities of the Russian Su-57, so far remains unknown, but experts pay attention to the fact that at the moment American fifth-generation fighters have not met in Syria with Russian Su-57. However, after the appearance of a new aircraft engine on these combat aircraft, the maneuverability and speed of the fighter will indeed increase significantly, which will give it radically new qualities.

“It is clear that Russia has relied on maneuverability, which no other military aircraft in the world have. This is the main advantage of the Su-57, which makes American stealth technology unpromising., - the expert notes.
