Су-57 получит новые ракеты для поражения целей на дальность до 300 км

The modern fifth-generation Su-57 fighter, which has already successfully proven itself in action, will soon be equipped with new air-launched missiles capable of hitting targets at a range of up to 300 km, TASS was told by an unnamed source in the defense industry.

According to the agency's source, the Su-57 is already demonstrating high efficiency in hitting targets, even though it is equipped with missiles with a range of up to 120 km. In the near future, the introduction of new air-launched missiles is expected, allowing strikes at a distance of up to 300 km. A great advantage of the fighter is its low visibility, which makes it an effective tool in various combat scenarios.

In early August, it became known that GosMKB "Vympel" created advanced fifth-generation short-range missiles (RVV-MD2) for the Su-57. In Russia, they were developed and tested in the shortest possible time. Later, the fighter received the latest digital communication complex, which includes devices for noise-resistant encoding and decoding of data, a receiver for satellite navigation system signals, and a digital signal processing bus.

The Su-57, or Felon according to NATO codification, is a multifunctional fifth-generation fighter developed in Russia. Its capabilities include the destruction of various types of air, ground and surface targets. Distinctive characteristics include supersonic cruising speed, internal armament, radio-absorbing coating ("stealth" technology) and advanced onboard equipment. The fighter is equipped with an innovative complex of deeply integrated avionics with a high degree of automation of control and crew support, including piloting and coordination of the use of weapons. The Su-57 is capable of speeds up to 2600 km/h, and its maximum flight range is about 4300 km.
