Russia presented the Su-57 fighter at the Airshow China 2024 international air show in Zhuhai. It is considered one of the competitors of the Chinese J-35. According to pilot Sergei Bogdan, domestic aircraft manufacturers are always one step ahead. This is written by Military Watch Magazine.
We never lag behind. We create our own weapons against some competitors and always have a certain time advantage. We take many things into account.
According to Bogdan, the Su-57 "was tested in terms of flight suitability, maneuverability, stability and controllability."
Its armament has also been perfected. We continue to test new types of missiles and weapons.
The pilot believes that the Su-57 is a worthy successor to the Su-27. He pointed out that the new Russian fighter has "global prospects."
The Su-57 and J-35 will have to compete for customers, as they are in the same export niche.
