The Russian fifth-generation Su-57 fighter, which has performed well in combat, does not need to be compared with American F-22 or F-35 aircraft. This was stated by columnist Brandon Weichert on the pages of the American magazine The National Interest (TNI).

The author recalled that the Su-57 fighter can be used outside the enemy’s air defense zone and has already been involved in a real combat conflict, but the degree of participation of the aircraft in this could be higher. “Nevertheless, the Su-57 performed well in combat, especially when striking from beyond the horizon, where the air defense systems provided by NATO to Ukraine cannot pose a threat to the Su-57,” the expert writes.

The observer recalled that the flight program demonstrated by the Su-57 in In China, she impressed the observers. “The Su-57 has performed so well that Russia has finally received purchase orders from foreign buyers,” the author summarizes, calling the Russian fighter a real revolutionary system.

Earlier, in a publication by experts from the Center for Analysis of the World Arms Trade (CAMTO), presented in the National Defense magazine, it was reported that the Russian fifth-generation Su-57E fighter is capable of resisting the Chinese J-20 aircraft and surpasses the American F-35 both in terms of its tactical and technical characteristics and combat experience.

In November, the United Aircraft Corporation (UAC) announced on its Telegram channel that the Russian Su-57E fighter jet that arrived at the Airshow China 2024 in Zhuhai had captivated the audience.
