Product Information

I am using - as in the Su-47 and Su-35 twins - twin YEP (chinese YGE clones, https://www.yge.de/en/home-2/ ) 80A esc. That’s analogous to calling Su-57 a direct competitor to the F-35 and F-22. Sukhoi’s own patent claims Su-57 having a design RCS between0.1 and 1 m

Su-57 fighter jets does Russia Fact check: How many Sukhoi Su-57 fighter jets does Russia

The current Su-57 one will get a pair of excellent lightweight FMS inrunner fans, I have those already, balanced and ready to go : Drone-builder Kronshtadt is also proposing a more traditional low-cost Loyal Wingman-style drone called Grom, though this does have the downside of significantly more limited combat radius of around 400 miles. However, there aren’t any two-seater stealth fighters so far because a stretching out a stealth jet while maintaining low-radar-observable geometry is more difficult and costly than it would be for a conventional fighter. Finesse thus will be required to refashion the Su-57 without compromising its stealth characteristics. Consider that while Okhotnik could be pre-programmed to perform missions autonomously, it might still be desirable to have a platform that can stealthily penetrate enemy airspace alongside S-70s and maintain a short-range command link allowing for more flexible employment of the drone and relaying of its surveillance data in event that its satellite-communications link is compromised. However, such prospects remain murky due to uncertainty as to how India will balance its relationships with Washington and Moscow, and the many years before any export-model Su-57s, let alone two-seaters, become available. By then, Ankara and New Delhi may well prefer to spend money on domestic stealth fighter programs instead.Imagine if Boeing were to market F/A-18 Super Hornets or F-15 Silent Eagles with Enclosed Weapons pod and weapon bays as a ‘Stealth aircraft’ along the lines of 5th gen. aircraft, how do you think they would compare to F-35?,’ says Abhirup Sengupta, an aviation expert, on Quora.

The emphasis on armed drone control also reflects how rapidly Russia is attempting to integrate combat drones into service after lagging behind for years in that domain, with its first armed drones being delivered to operational units in 2021. But unlike ultra-cheap ‘Loyal Wingman’ drones like the XQ-58 Valkyrie, Okhotnik is decidedly large, expensive and non-expendable, so it may be employed in a less self-sacrificing manner. June 2014 - A fire was reported on the fifth PAK-FA/T-50 prototype, resulting in considerable damage around the center mass of the airframe. It is believed to have been started in the right engine. Drone-control is becoming a standard feature in next-generation fighter concepts like the U.K.’s Tempest, the Franco-German FCAS and the U.S.’s two NGAD programs.

The only problems I had with the kit are the color callouts and decal placement. Some steps and parts don’t mention part colors, so you need to consult other sources, and the information can be limited because it is Russia’s new warplane. The bare kit comes with : a complete foam airframe, some hardware, metal struts & part metal retracts, and two 70mm plastic fans. Air-to-air and air-to-surface missiles; guided bombs across internal (two or four internal bays) and up to six external hardpoints. The configuration of the Sukhoi Su-57 Felon is an evolution of the Su-27’s shape adapted for the requirements of low visibility and supersonic speed and agility.
