In Russia, the fifth-generation Su-57 fighter is being improved. The combat vehicle has certain disadvantages, the main one being the discrepancy between the low visibility and the declared parameters.
There are complaints about the small combat load of the Su-57, which is only 4,200 kilograms. In addition, there are questions about the стыковка elements.
Many bolts are visible on the Su-57's body panels, which contradicts the principles of reducing radar visibility. In addition, there is no infrared detection system.
This circumstance raises doubts about the full functionality of the aircraft and its compliance with the fifth generation of fighters.
Experts added that the electronics works on the basis of Elbrus processors, which were manufactured in Taiwan and are currently under sanctions.
Earlier www1.ru reported that Tula defense enterprises increased shipments by 50% since the beginning of 2025.
