In the West, said that the RF ASC is unlikely to receive the desired number of Su-57

A publication in the American media is dedicated to the fifth generation Russian fighter. It pays a lot of attention to the opinion in the United States that Su-57 is a threat to the domination of F-35 in the air and on the world market.

The author of the publication is Robert Fairley, and his article is posted in The National Interest. Fairlie writes that quite a lot can be said about the Su-57 as a threat to United States aviation, but we must remember that Lockheed Martin has already delivered the F-171 fighter 35.

Speaking about the problems of Russia, the author says that the military in the Russian Federation are acquiring the 4 ++ fighter generation. The country is also modernizing the 4 generation aircraft. According to Fairlie, the Russian VKS "most likely will never receive the number of the latest fighters that Western military analysts originally expected, and which the Russian military expected."

It is also noted that the slowdown in the acquisition of the Su-57 (PAK FA) was due to technical problems. They are associated with the “heavy legacy of the aircraft industry after the Cold War.” The second reason cites the difficulties that the Russian economy faced due to the sanctions.

According to the author, now it is impossible to answer the question, will the PAK FA once threaten the domination of the West in the sky.

Made in the publication and a reminder that India refused to participate in the Russian project to create the PAK FA (FGFA). Moreover, the author claims that such a refusal "will leave a big hole in the Indian Air Force." Thus, he hints that there is no desire to acquire a fifth-generation fighter (this can only be an F-35).
