What do we think of the Su-57?
>>64547805I think it looks pretty neat, it's a shame it's built and operated by monkeys. Cowardly monkeys at that who lack the stones to let it loose and let us see it work because heaven forbid we let our weapons system get in harms way. What kind of madman are you? Next you'll say boats ought to be put in the ocean and get melted by saltwater

>>64547805Show floor whore
Garbage operated by garbage.
>>64547805a ridiculous flying barn door and mechanism for high level graft in a third world dicatorship that can't handle it's real place in the world alongside west africa and nigeria and had to build a dumb showpiece 'stealth' plane with the same stealth ability as a flying elephant held together with off the shelf phillips head screws bought of alibaba as the money was siphoned away for blow, hookers and confiscated super yachts while a fair percentage of the population have no indoor toilets or hot water.
>>64547805it's shit and it looks like one of those ugly flat fish
>>64547805If Russia had marketed the Su-57 as a 4.5++ Gen fighter, and had gotten the new engines working, and had been able to achieve a decent rate-of-production, then I would respect the Su-57. As it currently stands however, I point and laugh.
>>64547843Those little wing mounted IWBs are pretty slick

>>64547808jewish hands wrote this
>>64547805It's okay. I hope they stop making excuses and put the F-22 exhaust nozzles on it soon.
>>64547805I think it looks good from the outside. The cockpit looks really hard to work in from the perspective of a (student) pilot. I don't have any credible opinion, but its probably not as good as it's contemporaries.
>>64547805I'd think more about it if it actually sortied.
>>64547805Very sexy, but a 4.5gen at best, because RussiaRealistically it's probably better than anything that Ukraine can field right now, but wouldn't fare too well against an actual NATO air force
>>64547805Lets see>"Stealth" fighter> Larger than even chink stealth plane> exposed turbine blades without an S duct and a cope mesh> Targeting pod screaming away its location when activated to aim> regular engine exhaust nozzles instead of sealth ones> canopy looks like regular canopy insead of what we see on F-22> Radar cross section probably equivalent to an F-18> Even the jeets backed out once they realized it was shit (beign shit connoisseurs makes them qualified in this regard)oh and I have heard rumours the internal weapons bay doesn't have a pressure equalizing mechanismIf they actually deployed this bitch it would get shot out of the sky
>>64547942>oh and I have heard rumours the internal weapons bay doesn't have a pressure equalizing mechanismWhat does that mean?
>>64547883African hands tightened these screws.
>>64547952The internal weapons bay is trickyIf you put a missle in it and seal it will contain 1atm pressurebut as you go high up it drops to say 0,2atmyou need to equalize this otherwise it will want to blow open the entire timefrom what I have heard this is complicated if you want your jet to be stealthif you just leave an opening (what Russians probably did) it further fucks up the sealth since there is a gap/opening
>>64547942>the internal weapons bay doesn't have a pressure equalizing mechanismIt has an automated smelkaka solution also known as "panel gaps" in the decadent wect.>>64547966>(what Russians probably did)>probablylol

>>64547970Damn that looks way worse than I initially toughtThanks for picture anon
>>64547966>>64547970I kinda figured that on combat jets, the cockpit is the only pressurized part.
>>64547955NOOK? NOOK SYMBOLS SPOTTEDAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHGHHH I'M GONNNA ...NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOK
>>64547978The Su-57 got thoroughly humiliated on social media when one made an appearance at a chink air show last year.The build quality was every bit as bad as one could imagine.You know it's bad when even chinks can't stop lmaoing @ it
>>64547906can you elaborate on the cockpit please? looks like your average glass cockpit to me
>>64547805>weYou don’t speak for me.I think it’s an overhyped piece of shit.
>>64548053The stick is way too close to the ejection handle and the MFD. Apparently the MFD is touch screen and uses buttons so I'll give it a pass. I assumed the presence of buttons made it non touch screen. Also the MFD looks a little low since they also put an HUD with its own screen above it. On the F-35 its more at your chest level, but on the felon it's closer to waist level I'd estimate. I wouldn't want to be craning my head down to use it. Again I'm literally unqualified, just my .02
>>64547877>y-you’re just mad at our shitty 4+ gen cargo cult plane that we can’t even mass-produceNo, in fact it’s very hilarious, a comedy routine even.
>>64548053One more hing about the cockpit that nobody mentions IMO "glass" cockpitGlass is ransparent to radar F22 and F35 havehis golden tint to their canopiesIndium itatium oxide (as far as we know) layer that reduces radar cross sectionSu-57 doesn't look like it is using it
>>64548071I think it has an ar headset so you wont have to look at the screens>>64547966just have a small opening at the back or something?
>64548306
>>64547991I wonder what radioactive component is in there?
>>64548294>just have a small opening at the back or something?Oh they haveWhich works BUT fucks up the radar cross section even further
>>64548343I dont think I have to say this to you but you realize that intakes and exhausts are openings as well right?
>>64547805Russia needs stealth bombers to actually impose good damage on Ukrainian infrastructure.Glide bombs don't fly farther than 200kms, missiles are expensive and shaheds are weak.
>>64548360Sadly, Russian 'stealth' doesn't actually work against western AD.But good luck I guess, Patriot, NASM and IRIS-T will take the free marketing.
>>64548354yes but those are a mustInakes cane be S-duckted and exhausts can have advanced geometryNot on SU-57 howeverwhy is why it's radar cross section is massive
>>64548360Is that WEBM from Bakhmut?
>>64548389You could link it up to the inside of the intake and either use a passive or active design for the exchange of air/pressure
>>64548528so why did ziggers just leave a gap at the internal weapons bay?are they stupid?
>>64547805It's a decent 4.5 gen.
>>64547966Maybe a stupid question, but wouldn't something as simple as this do the trick?
Remember, it has the same RCS of an F18 HYPOTHETICALLY if built to spec. And given how we’ve seen tons of pics of these planes with production errors that increase surface area and the corner cutting. So the RCS is probably far larger on average.It’s a “fifth gen stealth jet” that’s as stealthy as a 4th gen western non stealth jet.
The Su 57 is definitely better than the 4th gen j20 made by west taiwan.
>>64549066and yet the didn't do thisthey just left a gap between the panelsFucking up the radar cross section even more
>>64549096In fairness to them, simple in concept doesn't necessarily mean simple in execution - as I understand, things are packed quite tightly in a jet like that and adding a vent hole like that might not be a trivial task
>>64547805Underrated. But at least they are caught up now. I want to see what intesting things they do with it desu.
>>64549096They would have to move alot of other shit around.I honestly dont understand the point of creating modulation when they retire it way too quickly. Personally i think modulation is a great idea since the status quo is just copying off of one another.
nothing, why would I think anything about something that doesn't exist? they they built like 30 of them
>>64549170>underratedyou can only say this if you're a newfag who wasn't here for the constant fucking glazing that retards were giving it before it crashed and before people realized it was a cargo cult project that would never be built in numbers.>but at least they are caught up nowthey're not even caught up with european 4th gens lmao.
>>64547805It flies.
>>64547980>f-16 intercepting you be like :D
>>64549086There's lots of things that werent mentioned in the patent that theyve added to the SU57. They have so many variants its foolish to assume they aren't upgrading it as they go as well.
>>64547805W i d e girl.
>>64547843I think they should get a refund. The battery compartment just opened up mid-flight.
>>64548323Radar
>>64547991>>64548323Radiation isn't always nuclear anon.
>>64547980It's not actively pressurized, but it will hold some pressure when you close it.
>>64548418Pretty sure that's way more recent, Pokrovsk maybe? not sure, I don't have geolocation autism
>>64549886>>64549893NTA but using the trefoil for no ionizing radiation is incorrect.However I don't entirely blame them for going with it because the non ionizing radiation hazard symbol is really vague looking and also dumb
>>64547805>We have modern aircraft at home!
>>64549752I guess you could sayBroad?
>>64548014That's not even an Su-57 though it's a prototype without stealth finishing at all
>>64551265Yes we know, all 30* produced are in this condition.
>>64547808??? It's been used in strike missions (confirmed) and A2A missions (alleged by Russia) against ukranny
>>64550044>the non ionizing radiation hazard symbol is really vague looking and also dumbYou mean the ISO standard radiating cell tower antenna sign or are there others?I'd say it's great, but it's probably the reason why 5G schizos exist.
The only potentially interesting thing about it is the 101KS-0 DIRCM being the first application of such a device on a fast-jet aircraft.It being Russian though, I'm sceptical if the pointer/tracker system lives up to the kind of performance needed
>>64550688Broad, indeed.
>>64547805Flying arma...>>64547809Damnit! Anon got it first.
>>64552018It's probably similar to Nemesis DIRCM and other western systems but with less reliable jamming for a multitude of reasons.Either way there's just no point in mounting those on a fighter unless your pilots are trained to submissively show their belly to incoming missiles and maintain steady flight.
>>64551921that's not true though
>>64547843Russia was on track with the su57 until they invaded Crimea. The sanctions they got in 2014 made them quietly mothball it.
>>64552856I think they accelerated su-57 production, other projects were destroyed though like their AWACS program
>>64551985It's this one.I just think it's underwhelming. I suppose it gets the point across but normies will probably just think "radio" and that's it.
>>64552856>>64552861I mean, they did suddenly get cut off from all of the chips and tech needed to make Su-57 and A-100. Idiots in the Kremlin.
>>64552861>other projects were destroyed though like their AWACS programI wonder what contingency they have for that?Buy Chinese I guess. Must be galling. Probably better cope to adapt the A100 to Chinese components, even if it means a 2040 production date.
>>64553624Fighterbomber says they have been coping by using their more modern flankers and mig-31s as air controllers as they mare much more survivable and their radars are reasonably powerful
>>64555120It hadn't occurred to me that there would be CAP pilots in Russia watching a wave of ukie drones appear on radar and I guess Russia must have a datalink from there to command to the air defence cuckold.
>>64551961>evidence? >it came to me in a dream!
