The United Aircraft Corporation (UAC, part of Rostec State Corporation) has for the first time in a long time demonstrated current footage of the serial-produced fifth-generation Su-57 multirole fighter. A video appeared on the agency's Telegram channel.
At the helm or control stick of the aircraft is Sergei Bogdan, a leading test pilot at Sukhoi. His participation in the testing of serial production vehicles underscores the high level of confidence in the project and the fighter's readiness for real operation.
Aviation is culture, tradition, aesthetics. And it's not just about the best aircraft in the world, ours. Stay tuned for updates.
Rostec noted that new Su-57 fighters are already entering the troops, and modernized versions will receive updated engines and weapons systems.
It also became known that the Su-57's "best friend," the S-70 Okhotnik drone, weighing about 20 tons and with a wingspan of up to 20 m, equipped with an Al-41F turbojet engine, has entered serial production.
In addition, the internal weapons bay of the Su-57 was spotted in the open position. It houses medium- and long-range missiles, as well as high-precision bombs.
Earlier, www1.ru reported that a designer revealed the trick of the new "Tsar Bomba" with a planning module and GPS.
