First picture of the twin seat Su-57D "Felon". Looking very Flanker-y.
I'm going to stroke my Su-57D
>>65161981SEXOOOOO2 seater will be the meta with drone swarms being the next thing in aerial combat.
>>65161989Why
>>65161989>drone swarms>aerial combatAbsolute retard take.
>>65162011Lol UCAVs are already here.>>65162002Mental load. Same reason weapons officers exist for basically all platforms capable of ground attack.
>>65161981It looks weird with that small nose
>>65161981Chinks did it better
>>65161981Seems a waste when they have the su34
should have gone side by side
>>65161981Another propaganda project that will not go anywhere
>>65162100>>65161981Vatnikbros?
>>65162033Somebody on board is taking a load, thats for sure
>>65161981Why is it so fucking tall? why do they build it like its a attack helicopter canopy
>>65162313Because they literally reused the same canopy from the Su-30
>>65162317i'm 99% certain they reused to cockpit and avionics too, much like they did with the original su-57 and su-35
>>65162219They're desperate for India to buy them. India were always the ones pushing for a twin-seater when they were set to be partners in PAK-FATo bad Russia is on the wrong side of the fence when it comes to the Iran war that's having a crippling effect on the Indian economy
>>65162627The Su-57 has reduced RCS compared to legacy Russian aircraft but so does the Super Hornet, it is not at the level of the F-22 or F-35.
>>65162627>It's not stealthy>Ok it is but not as good as what we have>Russia btfo btw Okay?>>65162635Super hornet is an impressive bird. It's basically a new plane idk how they conned congress into it by slapping the hornet name on it.
>>65161981>>65162219This is more oriented towards India than anything else. And its meant to be geared towards having the WSO be piloting unmanned drones similar to the US's CCA program>>65162317>>65162380People are saying that this is at the very least an existing, but modified airframe. Some are speculating that it is the T-50-5 which was the 5th prototype which was severly damaged when it had an engine fire back in 2014 but that its believed to have been scrapped and cobbled into the T-50-6. So who knows at this point
>>65162656>And its meant to be geared towards having the WSO be piloting unmanned drones similar to the US's CCA programIt has a WSO because Russian electronics and PGM are decades behind Western ones.
>>65161981There’s no way that cockpit arrangement doesn’t massively spike the rcs. Not that it will really matter that much since it was already by far the worst but still
>>65162952One post was deleted, which was you posting a screenshot of youtube commentsI don't expect you'll get much sympathy lmao
>>65161981Why would you need an ultra-maneuverable ground attack aircraft? You want it to be fast in and out.It must have turned out to be a real shit stain of a project if they are morphing it into something it should not be.
>>65163029India wants one. Plus the new stealth UCAV they developed likely is too taxing for the pilot.
>>65162100not fair, one is a functional country
>>65163029It doesn't have to be for ground attack reasons.China made a two-up J-20 for CCA usage.Could be for SEAD or EW purposes.And then there is always just the usage as a trainer so you can have an instructor along for the ride with you.
>>65163029>Why would you need an ultra-maneuverable ground attack aircraft? You want it to be fast in and out.>It must have turned out to be a real shit stain of a project if they are morphing it into something it should not be.because the SU isnt doing the "ground attack" part you absolute shit eating moron
>>65161981it'll probably be cool in ace combat, at least
>>65163365The absolute cope at the Su-57 needing a WSO.
>>65161981Russia should just abandon "prestige" yuuge multirole jets and instead focus on cheap lightweight "advanced trainers" that can double as light fighters. If it is small enough, might not even need to be stealth. They'll get more orders from 3rd world countries this way.
>>65163824They’re targeting the retarded thirdie market with their Su-75 vaporware.
>>65163365Reminder that the S-70 which was shot down about 2 years ago had no ram coating, nor secure data link, and had to be shot down by Russians because it was spoofed by Ukraine and they couldnt regain control
>>65161981>WHERE'S THE STEALTH NOZZLES LYUBOVSKOV?!!>WHERE'S THE FUCKING STEALTH NOZZLES SHITHEEEEAAAAD!
>>65163859>S-70 which was shot down about 2 years ago had no ram coating, nor secure data link, and had to be shot down by Russianslmao>nato relies on Russia to shoot its own rabid nude drones down in nato airspaceno shirt, no shoes...? no service!
>>65161981I wonder what the hump will do to RCS. Its going ruin it even further. >>65162002Second guy to control drone wingmen so pilot can focus on flying and shieet.
>>65163824Russia is far to large for them to only use low range light fighters. Further smaller does not immediately mean cheaper complexity goes way up.
>>65162100if they ever get good engines in the J-20 this would probably be the best functional use for it. that big airframe should give it decent loiter time if they actually fix that.
>>65163882>nato airspace>donetski can't even tell which side this is meant to be bait for, marvelous work anon
>>65162219Now thats just rude, the Su57 will easily take them all the way to the crash site
>>65161989I mean, the whole flying part of being a pilot can be replaced by an AI, so all the pilot really has to do is tell the swarm what to do and make sure they do it right. Including his own plane.
