The first images of the Su-57 in a two-seat layout appeared.

At the disposal of the Avia.pro news agency were images showing the likely concepts of a two-seat version of the fifth-generation domestic fighter, the development of which became known a few days ago. The authors of the images claim that these options are the most acceptable, as they require minimal changes in the design of the fighter.

In the images presented, you can see various options for the fifth-generation Su-57 two-seat fighter, and all options may well be implemented by domestic designers. Nevertheless, experts believe that the second crew member will be located away from the pilot, as this will ensure ease of control of the combat aircraft and provide maximum opportunities for communications, especially since the second crew member will control four attack unmanned aerial vehicles at once.

According to experts, a two-seat version of the fifth generation Su-57 fighter may appear in 2-3 years. Both India and China have previously expressed interest in a two-seat fighter, which does not exclude an increase in interest in the Russian fifth generation fighter.
